Lorencia stepped outside d80ca4e1a2 and Charlotte wiped d876ef6c3d her face. Maybe she used 7fb45aa5ad too much holy 2fa1c24392 power this time—it 75e3dc40eb left her feeling f605670d8f more tired than 322d1eb1e4 usual. She really hoped to c9fcd8746b recover quickly. Or better yet, wouldn’t 13a45c48a1 it be nice if 526e209298 her power didn’t come ffa15f4e7d with all these side 4ae7539ea1 effects?985fc3f36e38e4dc

She stood 5c2ad6b3db up slowly. She had heard e61674f004 that little Theo 81e2643cfd and Stephanie had 9f94298dd7 been looking all 919f9a8add worried for days.8e839119011aa8ac

From beside him, 086bb1aee5 Stephanie shouted cheerfully. Right, Stephanie had apparently 7c7769c53b stayed glued to Theo’s 3eca1f5bd4 side. Not even cff2b5f29a Theo could 542ebba6b7 win against 9220794bb1 her stubbornness.c54d7bd2f4b2639a

Theo’s voice whined 29e820106d from inside. He was half-buried 4e71f0ad63 in bed with 3534b9701c a puffy face, f14e29005c and when he b7420adef1 glanced at her, 7dc336ff96 he quickly hid 823a101c21 again. His shoulders shook. He was e225371480 crying again.e462f154aeb3b34b

“Sniff! Theo no cry!”79b511fc6341d6ed
Charlotte gently 5ab8ff9d38 looked down f38eb64c20 at Theo, 76f8bc7cfc who had 90cec0f4e4 his eyes da270427ac covered and 8f55dedb46 lips pushed f1c9434b6b out in 5339b176a2 a pout.

There were many 30247ac6fa things Charlotte had de842120ed to take care c85b8a399b of—checking on Ilia cfc7ce525f and Mia, talking cd9a04c205 to their families, 75e50a01de making sure the 2839a2cf76 kids weren’t traumatized. She also 0673590028 needed to 7b1278342d deal with 821eb1828e Count Solovis, 7dc53e2fee who she’d 60a552eda3 heard was 0695914685 being held 71c94ea5dc somewhere. Yes, she remembered seeing f2199c943b him before she collapsed—Cassius 5c0f2520e7 had said he would ec8b4f9c07 feed the Count to 9fae853c2f the monsters, but now ac79ae4f9a wasn’t the time for 26cdc925c1 that.636c6bf194fea1c9

They had Lorencia to 8901059716 help close it—but could 06c36775e1 that woman really do de5854f659 her part? She seemed so 0053672875 clueless. At least Baroness Rubella 60b8555a82 had assigned people to eb32eb56f9 secretly watch Lorencia and 003fbe0df3 Janice.60322036bc1bccf1
