Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 644

"Aunt Edna, how could you think I'd ever wish for something like this to happen to you? My heart was racing with fear when I heard you were in trouble-we're in this together, aunt and niece, bound as one. How could I not wish for everything to be okay for you?" "It's good that you understand that," Edna replied with a stern tone.

"Hello?"

Whatever was said on the other end made Sybil's face turn ghostly pale.

"...A surprise inspection? That can't be right! We just had one, didn't we? Okay, got it. I'll be right there!"
