Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 178:

All the color drained from Norah’s face.

Without sparing a moment to inquire about the people following Phillip, she anxiously ordered, “Take us there.”

Sean understood the gravity of the situation and quickly followed suit, saying briskly, “Phillip, lead the way.”

Cloaked in black robes that obscured their features, the six people from Sacredice looked particularly ominous as they trailed behind Phillip.

But Norah was too preoccupied to care about those from Sacredice.

Right now, her thoughts were solely on Alice.

Alice was armed, and Norah assumed she could protect herself.

The fact that Alice was hurt went beyond her expectations.

As Phillip led them toward Alice, Norah felt her heart pounding in her chest.

When her eyes finally landed on Alice in the distance, her breath caught in her throat.
