Chapter 10 - Lucy Shares A Terrifying Secret About What Marissa Left Behind
Back at Natalie’s house, little Lucy woke up from a restless sleep and padded softly down the carpeted hallway.
She walked into the living room where Natalie was still reviewing financial documents under the desk lamp.
“Mommy, my tummy hurts,” Lucy whispered, rubbing her eyes with the sleeve of her unicorn pajamas.
Natalie immediately dropped her pen, scooping her daughter up onto her lap to check her forehead for a fever.
“You’re just cold from the car ride, sweetheart, let me get you a warm cup of chamomile tea,” Natalie soothed.
“The nice lady in the big house gave me a shiny box before daddy came home,” Lucy mumbled sleepily.
