Chapter 762 I Had No

Choice

Gorman's words slammed into Caylee like a freight train, her eyes popping wide in utter shock.

She shot a quick glance at Gorman, who gave off a cool, careless vibe, before her gaze darted back to Linsey's, brimming with a hollow despair that stole the air from Caylee's lungs.

A cold shiver snaked its way down her back.

Gorman, cool as a cucumber, didn't miss a beat and breezed out of the room, his steps practically bouncing.

The hotel room fell quiet, holding just Linsey, Caylee, and the tiny Zander nestled in Linsey's arms.

After a moment, Linsey's fingers softly danced through Zander's downy hair. She leaned in close, her voice a gentle whisper. "Be a good boy, Zander. Your sister's in there, out like a light. Why don't you slip in and snuggle up with her? I need a quick word with Caylee."

Zander gave a small nod and tiptoed into the room, easing the door shut with a soft click.

That faint sound snuffed out the last flicker of hope Caylee had been clinging to.

The last, frail glimmer of hope in Caylee was extinguished as the door clicked gently shut.

Without a word, Linsey moved with a grim, no-turning-back resolve to the sofa and sank into it.
