Chapter 266
"Grandma, I'm missing you, Gwendolyn whispered into the phone, sniffling
quietly, trying to hide the sound of her grief from Nicolette on the other end of the line.
"Oh, my silly girl, did something happen in Bayridge City? Is Howard treating you well? How is the Chadwick family with you?" Nicolette's warm and loving voice crackled through the speaker.
Gwendolyn pressed her lips tight, tears rolling down her cheeks. Sickness has a way of softening even the sturdiest of souls.

Confused, Nicolette pulled them out, one by one. Her hands began to tremble, and her lips turned pale.
Slumping to the floor, she felt like her heart was breaking. Her Gwendolyn wasn't doing well in Bayridge City at all.
Who sent these? And why?
A name she didn't recognize was on the return address. With shaky hands, she dialed the number,
A young woman on the other end spewed threats and insults. Overwhelmed, Nicolette fainted.
