“A real-life version of The Farmer and the Viper story!”

“That’s not even the most important thing! Isn’t the most important thing about Mrs. Horton? She doesn’t say a word. Is she planning to play dead?”

The public’s accusations made Lewis press the accelerator furiously.

He knew these comments wouldn’t hurt Keira. Her mental resilience had always been strong, but even so, he didn’t want her to be hurt in the slightest.
