Chapter 73: Stairwell Surprise

"Mommy, I'm going to look for food! The corner store had snacks earlier today," Lily shouted as she ran out the door.

Her mother was still lying on the couch, waiting for her injury to heal, but she was already in a much better state than before.

She only had time to yell, "Be careful and come back soon!" before her daughter ran out the door.

When Lily finally reached the staircase after running down the hallway, she couldn't believe her eyes! The staircase was filled with so many new supplies!

She noticed the basket with fresh red apples on top of the many cases of water and quickly reached over to grab it.

She used to not care much for apples, but now she looked at them with a sparkle in her eyes.

Grabbing the whole basket, she ran back home, startling her mom.

"What is it, Lily? Did something happen? You're back so quickly?" her mom asked with worry. She looked over Lily a few times, making sure she was uninjured.
