Chapter 909

Maja’s heart started to thump wildly, but the flood was already upon them. With landslides on the mountain and an earthquake in the midst of the downpour, things couldn’t get any worse.

When Maja’s consciousness started to return, she heard a man’s voice.

“Ms. Pennyfeather should be stirring soon.”

“Any issues with her head?”

“No, just a minor concussion. Might be a bit dizzy the first few days she’s awake, but she’ll be fine.”

“How’s lan?”

“Mr. Raymond’s still in the ICU. If he makes it through today, he’ll be alright.”
