Emily didn’t answer, but kept repeating the words. “The kid…”
I felt distressed, because she did the exact same thing last time. Every time we brought up the topic of Adam, she’d only repeat these words.
What did she mean by the kid?
“Are you talking about Luca?“ I suddenly asked, pursing my lips. “The kid…His name is Luca, right?”
Emily nodded.
I was overjoyed to have finally gotten a breakthrough. “Are you saying the secret chamber has something to do with Luca?”
Emily nodded again.
I was so surprised that I couldn’t help but Laugh.

It seemed that I had a way to get into Adam’s secret chamber now. After leaving the safe house, I went to Riley’s 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, “Debra, 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.”
Debra’s POV:
Obviously, Riley had no clue about the awkward relationship Caleb, Janiya and I shared. Otherwise, she never would’ve 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, I’d 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.
“Okay, Riley. Don’t worry. I’ll buy some flowers and visit Janiya later. Just go and have fun with Luca.”
“You’re the best, Debra!” Riley Looked at me gratefully.
“Oh, it’s no big deal, really.”
I waved my hand with a small smile. Then, I felt curious. “By the way, how’d Janiya get injured? She’s with Caleb all the time. He would’ve protected her from harm’s way.”
Riley shook her head. “I don’t 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.”
“A prank?”
