Chapter 17 - Reunited With Lily In The Warm Foyer
Twenty minutes later, Daniel walked back up into the grand foyer where Lily and Noah were wrapped in thermal blankets.

Noah stood beside them, smiling proudly as paramedics checked his vital signs with professional care.
Vanessa was escorted out of the estate by two officers to give a full statement regarding her coercion under duress.
