Salute To The General

Chapter 2090

"Don't worry, Queenie." Kylie smiled reassuringly. "Your dad called this afternoon. He said he had rescued your mom, and he just called to say that they will come right now and get you."

"Eat while you can, they'll be here any minute."

Queenie nodded but didn't touch her food.
