Chapter 93

Not sure if Sharon had pushed too hard, but Kelly suddenly collapsed to the floor.

Right then, as if on cue, the door swung open. It was Carter. His eyes darkened as he spotted Kelly on the ground. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and helped her up.

“Kelly, are you alright?”

Still caught in her breakdown, Kelly stared up at his familiar face. For a second, the haze in her eyes seemed to lift. Then she threw herself into Carter’s arms and broke down sobbing.

“Carter, it was terrifying! They were going to lock me in a dark room! Please save me–I don’t want to go into that dark room!”

Carter frowned slightly, his voice low and steady. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. No one’s going to take you anywhere.”

Something sharp lodged itself in Sharon’s chest. A stabbing pain, sudden and cold.

Tears blurred Kelly’s eyes as she looked up at him. “Carter, will you really protect me?”

“I will.”
