Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 423

Hiss...

Hiss... hiss...

The sound was quiet, but it was unmistakably clear.

Janina glanced around, but she couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Liam and Joy were sitting on their play mat, shaking their new toys.

Could it be the sound of the rattles?

Grace emerged from the kitchen holding two bottles, ready to mix formula for the babies. “Mom, are you hearing that?” Janina asked, turning to her.

Grace looked over at the happily playing twins and smiled. “Hearing what, dear? Just Liam and Joy having a good time.”

“No, not that. It’s a hissing sound, like…” Janina’s voice trailed off as she turned back, her eyes instinctively scanning the pile of gift boxes.

Just then, she saw it. Coiled right behind Joy, a thin snake was flicking its forked tongue in the air.

“Ah!”

A piercing scream tore from Janina’s throat. With lightning speed, she snatched Joy with one arm, scooped up Liam with the other, and scrambled toward the front door.

“Nina, what is it?” Grace cried out, startled by the scream.
