Emily didnât answer, but kept repeating the words.
âThe kidâ¦â
I felt distressed, because she did the exact same thing last time.
Every time we brought up the topic of Adam, sheâd only repeat these words.
What did she mean by the kid?
âAre you talking about Luca?â I suddenly asked, pursing my lips.
âThe kidâ¦His name is Luca, right?â
Emily nodded.
I was overjoyed to have finally gotten a breakthrough.
âAre you saying the secret chamber has something to do with Luca?â
Emily nodded again.
I was so surprised that I couldnât help but Laugh.
It seemed that I had a way to get into Adamâs secret chamber now.
After leaving the safe house, I went to Rileyâs house.
Riley seemed to be in a better mood today.
Her eyes were much brighter now and there was Little to no trace of sadness in them.
When she saw me enter, she perked up and said hurriedly, âDebra, I have to go to the kindergarten today for the parent-child activities.
Can you go to the hospital to visit Janiya for me? She was injured and hospitalized Last night.
â
Debraâs POV:
Obviously, Riley had no clue about the awkward relationship Caleb, Janiya and I shared.
Otherwise, she never wouldâve asked me to visit Janiya on her behalf.
She would never be that inconsiderate.
But I could see that Riley had her hands full today.
She had to be there for Luca.
If I told her the truth, Iâd only be making things hard for her.
After weighing the pros and cons, I reluctantly decided to put aside my grudge against Janiya and agree.
âOkay, Riley.
Donât worry.
Iâll buy some flowers and visit Janiya later.
Just go and have fun with Luca.

âYouâre the best, Debra!â Riley Looked at me gratefully.
âOh, itâs no big deal, really.
â
I waved my hand with a small smile.
Then, I felt curious.
âBy the way, howâd Janiya get injured? Sheâs with Caleb all the time.
He wouldâve protected her from harmâs way.
â
Riley shook her head.
âI donât know much, but I do know that someone pulled a prank on the hotel yesterday.
The fire alarm was triggered, and although it was a false alarm, Janiya fell down the stairs trying to evacuate.
â
âA prank?â
