Chapter 88

Cloudcrest High School was a half-hour drive from Baker Manor.

Percival drove like a bat out of hell. Fortunately, the streets were pretty chill at that time, so they made it in fifteen minutes.

When Vivienne arrived, Clara and Bertha were pacing like caged animals.

As soon as Clara saw Vivienne, she rushed up to her, “Vivienne, you’re finally here. You need to go check on her. The family doctor is already upstairs. Faye stopped convulsing, but she’s burning up and unconscious.

“Ok, I’ll check it out right away,” said Vivienne and headed upstairs with the nanny leading the

way.

Percival didn’t follow. He didn’t think it was cool for a dude to barge into a young girl’s room.

when Clara followed.

She quickly grabbed Clara’s hand, “Is she the Ms. Hawthorn you mentioned before?”

Clara nodded, “Yep! That’s Vivienne, the Ms. Hawthorn who saved my life. Snap out of it and come upstairs with me!”

Before Bertha could react, she was dragged upstairs by Clara.

It wasn’t until they saw Vivienne seriously preparing to treat Faye that they realised they got their wires crossed!

Doreen was shaking like a leaf when she saw Faye. Seeing Vivienne silently focused on her treating, she stuttered, ‘Ms. Hawthorn?”
