“Allison, don’t forget your medications. A friend’s here for me. Promise, I’ll visit you again soon.”
Noticing Hannah’s perturbed expression, Allison gave a comforting nod.

Clutching her bag, Hannah hastened out of the villa. She soon noticed Declan and Eliana, who were yet to depart, watching her approach.
