Suddenly, I wasn't afraid anymore. Whatever might happen, with these two friends by my side, I had the strength to face it.

I took a deep breath, and just before the call was about to disconnect, I pressed the answer button, switching to speaker mode.

The moment the call connected, the lawyer's serious voice came through "Ms. Wiley, I just received word that Leah Grant suffered a heart attack in custody. She's incritical condition and has been rushed to the hospital." what? Who had a heart attack?"

1 froze, feeling like I'd misheard

Did the lawyer really say Leah? But how could Leah possibly have a heart attack?

I opened my mouth to say something, but Lyla's angry voice cut in first, "Leah's in perfect health! How could she have a heart attack?"

Since Lyla had already spoken for me, I quietly closed my mouth, waiting for the lawyer's explanation.

"I don't know. I just received the news and called you immediately. That's all I have for now. I tried to get more details, but they're keeping things tight-lipped. 1 couldn't replace anything else. "The lawyer's voice remained serious But I could sense the doubt in his tone.

I turned my head slightly, and Lyla gave me a reassuring look. That look warmed my heart.

The phone was silent for a moment before the lawyer said, "I'll take you there."

After agreeing on a meeting point, Lyla, Antoine, and I headed out

I was the f

I looked up and saw Lyla leaning forward in the rearview mirror, gripping the back of my seat. Her head popped out from beside use as she said, "She was time in school. Last time..........

Lyla hesitated. I instinctively turned to look at her, and she glanced at me before continuing, "Last time, Eve scared her, and she didn't even flinch."

I stayed silent.
