Chapter 427 Out Of Control

Ryder's

POV.

I was filled with terror when I couldn't locate her. But witnessing her in tears like that shattered me.

"Babe, what happened? Why are you crying? Please, tell me what happened," I pleaded anxiously, alarmed to see her in such distress.

"Ryder!" she sobbed, jumping into my arms and burying her face in my chest.

I held her tightly, enveloping her in a protective embrace, aiming to provide comfort and reassurance.

As she remained silent, my concern deepened. I furrowed my brow and asked once more, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know... I was having a good time with a handsome stranger, and after a couple of drinks, I started feeling strange. My body felt like it was burning, and my head was spinning. I couldn't see clearly... ahhhh..." She clutched her head, unable to continue speaking. Her body was drenched in sweat, and her eyes struggled to stay open, as if she fought against closing them.

"Shh... I've got you. Don't worry. I'm here now," I whispered, attempting to console her by gently rubbing her back. In truth, I sought solace as well. At least she was safe, and I had managed to arrive in time.

"Ryder, please, get me out of this place. I feel suffocated here," she pleaded, her voice barely audible. Her body trembled from crying, and she appeared incredibly fragile and vulnerable. My heart ached for her.
