Chapter 318

Allison stood there, rooted to the spot, as the familiar figure approached, his sharp features becoming clearer through the curtain of rain. Just a few strides away, the dampness seemed to soften the man's typically stern demeanor.

Joshua stopped in front of her, his dark eyes radiating warmth and joy. His voice had a rough edge to it, "Allie..."

Allison's gaze remained cool, her head slightly tilted up to meet his eyes. "Do you need something?"

Joshua swallowed, "Lizzy's been rescued."

Allison's eyes flew open, her voice rising with excitement. She stepped forward, clearly eager, "Really? Where is she? Has she come back yet? Take me to her!"

Joshua responded gently, "Yeah, she just got to Oak Lake. I came to let you know."

"I'm coming with you." Allison's eyes began to well up, "Thank you..."

Joshua's throat felt tight, his voice husky, "No need for thanks between us."
