Chapter 218
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, a loud thud came from upstairs as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
“Mom!” Lana cried in desperation “Larissa, come back quickly! Mom fainted”
“If she fainted, call an ambulance. What use am 1? Larissa did not fall for their trap again.
From the first floor, Xavier ordered his staff, “Stop her!”
