"Hmm, got it." Cherline Lindsey replied gravely.
Hearing this response.
Laura Waltson felt her entire world crumble.
She couldn't believe it—Cherline actually had a lead on Ann's disappearance…
...
Could it be that Cherline knows Ann was killed by her?!
Laura's heart thudded violently—*thump*, like it was going mad!
It felt as if hundreds of thousands of ants were gnawing at her, making her insides writhe in unbearable torment!
"Really? That's wonderful!"
Penny Sullivan, hearing this news, was ecstatic. She hurriedly asked, "So, is Ann alive or dead? Grandma sincerely hopes she's safe and sound."
"Grandma, don't worry. When you get home, you'll know." Cherline deliberately played coy, leaving the answer hanging.
This made Penny suddenly very eager to go back home. Originally, she had planned to stay at the hospital with Laura, but at this moment, the urge to return home abruptly overwhelmed her.
Meanwhile, Laura seemed completely paralyzed, lying on the bed.
