Chapter 126: Chapter 126: An Unexplainable Connection

The triplets exchanged uncomfortable glances at my question about Leo. The tension in the room thickened instantly.

“What happened to him?” I pressed, ignoring the pain as I tried to sit up straighter. “Is he okay?”

Lucas stepped forward, his face serious. “He’s alive, Hazel.”

Levi snorted, crossing his arms. “Why? Because he’s the one who caused this whole mess in the first place!”
