Chapter 250 Are You Going to Flee (2/2)

Emily was in denial. She didn't want to entertain even the slightest chance, that the policeman was telling the truth and that her parents were dead.

Emily's world disappeared into darkness, as soon as she laid her eyes on their familiar, pale faces. Fear curled up inside her and clung to her ribs, settling uncomfortably in her chest.
