When Summer heard the name Mirabella, her eyes instinctively narrowed, and she casually asked, “Didn’t she know Grandma was hospitalized? Why would she go to the apartment? Was she there to pick something up?”

Mandy shook her head. “It wasn’t to pick up anything. The caregiver said she only asked if your grandmother was at home, and when she heard she wasn’t, she left.”

With a puzzled look crossing her face, Summer said, “What could she possibly want then?”
