She was planning to go downstairs to find her mom, but suddenly there came a burst of footsteps from the kitchen!
Rita got so freaked out that she didn't dare to breathe, and she bolted towards the stairs.
Forced to go up to the second floor, she leaned against the wall, gasping for air.
At that moment, the footsteps got closer!
That person was coming upstairs!
Rita hurriedly ran to find a hiding place.
In a moment, Lacey appeared on the second floor, heading for the master bedroom.
Lacey came to check on Violette.
She was worried about Elijah and Mike's competition.
After all, Elijah had been in a car accident before, and although he had recovered, the doctor warned him not to engage in intense exercise.
Lacey didn't want to see Elijah lose and get punched by Mike, s
o she had to find Violette.
Opening the door, Lacey walked to the bedside.
Looking at Violette's sleeping face, she couldn't bear to wake her up, but only Violette could persuade Elijah to stop the competition.
"Violette," Lacey began, patting Violette's shoulder at the same time, "Violette!"
Violette frowned at the sound of her name.
"Violette, wake up," Lacey raised her voice.
Violette slowly opened her eyes, her sleepy gaze landing on Lacey.
"Violette, get up. Mike and Elijah are competing on the tennis court, hurry up and stop them! You know his leg isn't good," Lacey said, helping Violette sit up.
Violette rubbed her eyes, puzzled, "You said Mike and Elijah are on the tennis court?"
"Yeah!" Lacey told her what had happened.
Violette looked around the room blankly, breaking out into a cold sweat, "How did I end up here?!"
She wanted to go home to sleep, wanted to call someone for help, but she couldn't move.
So she just fell asleep in the car.
Thinking back on it now, she broke out in a cold sweat.
If no one had found her, she might not be alive anymore.
Elijah returned to the living room, and Lacey brought the soup to him.
Elijah took the soup bowl, drank it all, and went back to his room to rest.
At three in the afternoon, a heart-wrenching wail echoed throughout the entire villa!
Elijah was awakened by this childish yet loud cry.
It sounded like a child's cry!
But wasn't Ian already gone?
Could it be...
