When I opened my eyes, I was already in Hogan’s arms, carried sideways.

Our eyes met, and his voice trembled, “Don’t be scared, the paramedics will be here any second.”

The exhaustion was evident in his eyes, and his brows were furrowed together in a rare display

of panic.

Was this just my imagination?

I steadied myself, closed my eyes and then reopened them, pushed against his tense arms, and said in a deep voice, “I’m okay, put me down first.”

Hogan didn’t budge, and he looked up at Zachary who was rushing over, “Where are the paramedics?”

He was clearly out of sorts.

“They’re on their way, almost here.” Zachary sald, looking clueless. He turned to me, trying to reassure, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Zade. The medical station is close by, you’ll be fine.”
