You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 178

"No, I'll just get off here." Joyce got out of the car quickly and closed the door behind her.

The big iron gate was usually closed. Outside the iron gate there was a device that could identify vehicles, and then they just used face recognition or password to enter. Inside the main house there was also an electronic switch that could be used to open the door from inside. But today the iron door was completely open. Weird.

She didn't know what was going on inside the main house and didn't want to risk it having the cab driver tagging along.

She walked in alone and ran down the boulevard, her heart gradually racing.

Running all the way to the door of the main house.

Only to see the house door closed, she gently pressed the door handle, and the door was opened. It was not locked actually.

The living room was appallingly quiet. Even the sound of a pin dropping to the ground could be clearly heard.

The sun was setting, the curtains were half closed, the house was obscurely lit, and the air was filled with an eerie aura everywhere.

She looked around and there was no one there, and no one was in the tea room, and the door to Stephanie's room was tightly closed.

Joyce threw her backpack and jacket on the couch and loaded up lightly. She took one step closer, her heart almost in her throat, and she repeatedly took deep breaths, and put her right hand on the gun at her waist.

Get closer, and closer.

Finally, she stopped at the door of Stephanie's room, turning the doorknob with her left hand and holding the gun with her right.

With a bang, she kicked open the door of the room and broke in with a gun.

However, the situation inside was completely to her surprise. There were no thugs at all.

By the luxurious European-style bed, she could only see Stephanie's entire body curled up on the floor motionless, face turned inward.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Grandma?"

Joyce hurriedly put away her gun and ran up to her quickly.

The air was extraordinarily quiet, and death-like silence spread all around.
