Chapter 75: Tonight, They Can Wait Chapter 75: Tonight, They Can Wait At that moment, Nnenna finally looked up, her lips curling into a slow, eerie smile.

“You’re inviting me, sister?” she asked in a soft, sweet voice, her eyes gleaming with something unreadable.

“How kind of you.” She tilted her head slightly, her smile deepening.

“Alright then,” she said, her tone dripping with unsettling cheerfulness.

“I’ll be there.” Ebere’s breath hitched for a second.

For the first time, it felt like she had made a miscalculation.

Nnenna’s eerie tone had sent a shiver down her spine, making her instinctively step back.

She quickly masked her discomfort, spun on her heel, and walked away, but her stiff posture gave her away, Nnenna had successfully rattled her.

With a roll of her eyes, Nnenna stepped back into her room, shutting the door behind her.

She wasn’t in the mood for childish mind games.

Not today.

Ikenna’s cold farewell still weighed on her heart, and the uncertainty of when she would see Nurse Courage again only deepened her unhappiness.

She let out a slow sigh and unzipped her medium sized suitcase.

Most of her belongings had been trashed, leaving the room emptier than ever.

She glanced around at the bare space, her lips pressing into a thin line.

This place had never felt like home, but now it looked just as hollow as it felt.

With another sigh, she sank to the floor, lying flat on her back as her mind started to race.

The dinner.

She was going.

And she knew something would happen there.

There was no way Ebere’s invitation was just a simple, innocent gesture.

It was a setup, a trap, or maybe even something worse.

But that was fine.
