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.”

“How’s lan?”

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