Chapter 84

Back then, the BMW on the street was already revving up.

Ten minutes later, the car pulled up in front of the barbecue joint across from Stonebridge Memorial Hospital.

Miley was meticulously picking out dishes from the menu, ordering a bunch of barbecue stuff and a side of dipping sauce.

Marguerite looked at her, feeling sheepish, and held up five fingers.
