Chapter 200

The layout and furnishings of the guest rooms in Seymour Mansion were all identical, even the bed sheets and covers were the exact same shade of white.

Larissa was momentarily confused. She felt as if she was in her old room where she had slept for over ten years.

Yvette was reclining on a bed that was placed in the center of the guest room.

Yvette’s eyes welled up with tears.

“Larissa…” Her voice choked as she reached out her hand toward Larissa. “Come to me quickly so that I can take a look at you!”
