Kapitel 177: The Photograph

Akira suddenly realized that Crystal was no longer behind her, and she quickly turned around to check on her.

To her horror, she saw Crystal clutching her head in agony, looking as if she might collapse at any moment.

"Crystal!!! Are you okay? What's happening?!" Akira asked, her voice shaking with worry.

Sensing the situation's urgency, the restaurant host rushed over to see what was wrong.

"Is she alright? Should I call 911? I'll do it right away," the host offered, his concern evident as he worried about the potential impact on the restaurant's reputation. 

To make matters more stressful, Miss Jones, the distressed customer, was also the restaurant owner's daughter, and the host feared the consequences if something serious happened on his watch.
