Milan and Corey also recognized the voice of the young third wife. The group decided to run to where the scream came from, and Augustus was the fastest one to attend to the scene. He held onto his collapsing stepmother and stared down at the old lady on the ground. Gertrude lay there as if she fainted, but her eyes and mouth were wide open. Her lips even had foam forming.
Corey came to take over Aliyah, while the burly man kneeled to check up on the old lady. When Milan and Owen got there, Augustus only pulled back slowly and shook his head at them. Gertrude had fallen dead while she was walking.
“We were just talking to her. What happened?” Milan quickly looked away upon realizing a dead person was now in front of him. When his body trembled, he turned around to bury himself in Owen’s embrace.
