Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 358 Out of Your Mind

Dalton couldn't swim.

On this freezing winter day, a thin layer of ice had already formed on the pond's surface.

Though she had seen them argue, she never thought Lydia would actually go so far as to try and kill him.

Dalton swallowed several gulps of water. While the lake wasn't very deep, it was dangerous enough for someone who couldn't swim.
