"Mrs. Wailey ..." said Rebekah, still in such shock that she could hardly say a word. The girl then made eye contact with Stephen who was also still in shock after hearing what Mrs Wailey told them.
"Mrs. Wailey, you're not lying, are you?" Rebekah asked afterwards, she still wanted to confirm it again, even though the situation around this building had made it very clear that what the woman had told her was true.
"N-no ... no, Miss Miller," replied Mrs. Wailey, she was trying very hard to stop sobbing in such a low voice.
"But ... Susan ..." Rebekah was then unable to say anything else, the thing she heard felt so unreal to her, she never thought something like this would happen.
