Chapter 0252

When Hanley burst into the room, Candice stood frozen, and her face was unnaturally pale. She maintained the posture of making a call, but her phone lay on the floor.

“Joe Sundance’s family, please come to Silverstone Hospital as soon as possible to handle matters regarding the patient’s body-” the speakers said, their words echoing off the glowing phone screen.

Upon hearing this, Hanley’s eyes shifted to Candice.
