Chapter 211

People jerked around together to look at the source of that voice.

A young man pushed through the crowd and rushed in.

He was a teenager, roughly 15 years old, standing at a lean and agile figure.

His golden curly hair cascaded in unruly waves, framing a very youthful face.

He had a pair of piercing blue eyes, which reminded Janet of a certain person right. here in this room.
