I Quit Being a Stepmother (Cypress Gem) novel Chapter 554

Hearing a knock at the door, Cynthia, who hadn't slept much all night, stared at it warily.

She just couldn't fall asleep. Just when she finally started feeling drowsy, she would hear strange noises nearby—shouts, laughter, cries, and wails.

Cynthia felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Finally, dawn arrived, and most of those annoying patients went out to "have fun", giving her a chance to finally close her eyes and rest for a while.

Then came the knock.

Cynthia hadn't given up on the idea of leaving this place. She needed the right moment to seize a phone and call Kate for help.

"Who is it?" she asked.

The door opened.

Cynthia quickly wrapped herself in the blanket. Her pajamas were perfectly ordinary, but she felt awkward facing a stranger dressed like this.

Madison was the first to walk in. She noticed that the patient gown was still neatly placed to the side. Cynthia obviously hadn't touched it.

Some professionals searched the room methodically, almost as if conducting a house raid. Cynthia felt extremely irritated.

This was done to prevent newly admitted patients from secretly keeping anything dangerous.

Just then, Cynthia noticed Sylvia.
