    from the call began to fade, pushed away by theirforting presence.

    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, thewyer''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 thewyer really say Leah? But how could Leah possibly have a heart attack?


    I opened my mouth to say something, but L''s angry voice cut in first, "Leah''s in perfect health! How could she have a heart attack?"Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Since L had already spoken for me, I quietly closed my mouth, waiting for thewyer''s exnation.


    "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 find anything else. "Thewyer''s voice remained serious But I could sense the doubt in his tone.


    Of course, there''d be doubt.

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


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

    I was the f

    I looked up and saw L 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..........
