Vivian curled up in agony, her body trembling.

Mr. Wilson quickly entered the room, his expression stern as he tried to assess what had happened.

Anne followed close behind. She had been caring for Vivian since she was a child and regarded her almost like a daughter.

Vivian's face was pale with terror.

Mr. Wilson frowned deeply, observing her reaction.
