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.

Just then, Sybil's phone rang.

"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!"

The call ended quickly, and Sybil turned to Edna, her body shaking. "Aunt Edna... this is bad..."

Slater rushed over, his face a mask of panic. "Professor, both of our labs have been slapped with a notice by the fire department. We need to make certain improvements within a designated period..."

This scenario had unfolded just two months prior with Sue, Henry, and Lincoln, and now history was repeating itself with them in the hot seat.

Edna couldn't believe her ears, but there it was in Slater's hands: the notice, clear and undeniable with its crisp black print and official seal.

"Wait a minute didn't we just have an inspection? Why another one? And why only our lab?"
