Chapter 37 Truly Heartbroken

1/7

On the other side, Claire lay in a coma, her dreams awash with a chaotic sea of bright red.

She saw herself back in that hellish prison, stripped bare by those vicious women. Their cruel laughter echoed as they stomped on her and humiliated her beyond measure. "Ah!"

She jolted awake with a scream. Blinking rapidly, she realized she was in a hospital, not in that dreadful prison.
