Joy’s dilemma proved to be a tough nut to crack, and she couldn’t make it back. In her stead, Jeremy dutifully swung by every day to chauffeur Leanne to and from work.

By day, she was ensconced within the bustling hospital, and by night, she retreated to the high-security embrace of Crystal Cove Villas. Leanne wasn’t left to her own devices, nor did she encounter any more of the bizarre occurrences that had unsettled her that one day.

Donna rolled her eyes with contempt, “See, I told you these guys are all bark and no bite. They hide and talk big, but they wouldn’t dare to show their faces.”

Leanne nodded and opened her drawer to reveal her secret weapon, “I’m prepared.”
