q“Well, what are you still standing there for?”

“I'm sorry, Mr. Lindberg. I'll look for her now!”

Sean immediately scurried away to look for Francesca.

Truth be told, none of them were confident of convincing her.

Though Francesca was petite, she was no pushover.

Mr. Lindberg was the reason she left in a huff. Isn't he asking us to seek death by searching for her? Francesca Felch is full of tricks. She'll definitely pull pranks on us! Ugh, I really don't want to look for her.

Sean's face scrunched up in worry at the thought, but he had no choice but to carry out Danrique's order.

I'll have to find her no matter what, as per Mr. Lindberg's order. When will the rain stop, though?

Back in Northridge, the rain battered down as tree branches slammed against the windows noisily.

Charlotte jolted awake from a nightmare. Cold sweat had formed on her forehead.

“Ms. Lindberg, are you all right?” Lupine immediately went over to her.

“I dreamt about Zachary,” Charlotte revealed, panting heavily. She stared at the ceiling as tears wetted her lashes. “I dreamt that he was heavily wounded and was struggling in the fire. He even told me that he was in pain...”

Her entire being was trembling as fat tears rolled down her cheeks.

“It's fine. Oh, it's fine. It's just e dreem.” Lupine petted her beck end offered her e cup of tee. “Here, heve some tee to celm down.”

Cherlotte refused to drink end covered her fece. She couldn't stop the teers from streeming down her cheeks.

“Ms. Lindberg...”

As Lupine wes ebout to reveel Denrique's secret, someone knocked on the door. “Ms. Lindberg, Ms. Elise hes regeined consciousness.”

“Ellie!” Cherlotte got to her feet et once. “We need to go to the hospitel now!”

“But it's reining heevily. Should we—”

“We need to go now. Prepere the cer,” Cherlotte urged. “Ellie is efreid of the derk. She'll cry if I'm not with her.”
