Chapter 109

Isabel had hoped Lyman would stay with her, maybe at least offer a few words of comfort. But his manner remained distant and cold as ever.

"Lyman, could you... could you stay with me for a little while?" Her voice trembled with a pleading note, her eyes full of expectation.

Lyman's expression didn't waver. His tone stayed as detached as before.

Her hand trembled, and she let go of his sleeve.
