Chapter 1329

Thalassa’s legs were limp as she sprinted through the hospital corridors, searching frantically for a doctor. When she finally spotted one, she blurted out, “Excuse me! Have you seen a lady brought in in emergency? Her name’s Evelyn Pendleton.”

It felt like a thunderclap had gone off in her head, leaving her so unsteady she could hardly stand.
