Chapter 146 I pulled out a photo of Grandma, mumbling softly to myself, and before I realized it, lears were streaming down my face.
My stomach ached, and I curled up into a ball, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness like never before. About ten minutes later, there was another knockon the door.

Ignoring the fatigue from the sleepless night, I jumped up and started searching for my ID card Given the situation, lanew I had to act fast. I decided waiting was too risky, so I asked Liam to bring her out immediately.
"Please, go get my grandmother right now. The longer she stays there, the more danger she's in. 141 book the earliest flight to Yardville and be there soon. We'll meet up when I arrive."
There was a brief pause on the other end before Liam spoke again. "Evel I stopped in my tracks, realizing hel was right. They wouldn't just let a ทะ stranger take her away. Besides, it could tip Jackoff "Evelyn, are you askingto grab her in broad daylight?".
