Chapter 1328

Thalassa had dozed off for a short nap, but upon waking up, she found the house eerily quiet-Evelyn was nowhere to be seen. She searched every nook and cranny of their cozy suburban home, but her mother remained elusive.

Just then, her cellphone began to ring with an urgency that sent a chill down her spine. She picked up the call, her heart thumping against her chest.
