Chapter 65. Lila Won’t Recognize Me

Freya’s POV

The moment the words left the nurse’s mouth, everything just stopped.

My breathing stopped. My soul left my body. The words echoed in my head again and again like a broken record.

“Your grandma has been poisoned.”

A sarcastic, forced laugh escaped my lips, sharp, ugly, and trembling. I must be hearing things. Maybe I misheard what the nurse said. I must be imagining things. My mind was playing cruel tricks on me.

I spoke again, my voice cracking, “Hmm… hello? I think I misheard you. What did you say?”

The nurse’s voice came again, calm but urgent. “Your grandma was poisoned last night. Please hurry up to the hospital.”

Then the call ended.

My brain went completely blank.
