Chapter 1162

Whitney felt like her brain had just exploded.

She barely had a second to process the news-her mind was filled with one thing: Ludwik was hurt. "Where is Ludwik now? Why would he risk his life and go after Bryce? Where is he?"

"He's being brought to my hospital right now. Just get here, head straight to the ER!" Shane's voice was rushed, and he hung up before she could ask more.

Whitney realized her phone was slick with cold sweat. Her mind was buzzing, her face had gone pale, and beads of sweat chilled her skin. She stood frozen for a second, then bolted out the door.
