Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 264

Megan was working at the Nightfall Lounge tonight. Within ten minutes of Clara's call, she was outside, ready to help her friend.

"Clara!!"

Concern etched across Megan's face as she guided Clara into the employee break room at Nightfall. Clara was in so much pain her face had gone pale, yet she tried to reassure Megan, "I'm fine."

"How can you be fine? I have another half-hour left on my shift. Just sit here for a bit, and I'll take you to the hospital once I'm done. Here, take these painkillers."

Clara sat down, leaning against the wall. "I don't need them."

She wanted to remember the pain Eden had caused her, so she could strike back without hesitation when the time came.

"Alright, if you don't want to take them, just wait here for me."

Clara nodded slowly. Now that it was quiet, everything in her head felt muddled and confused.
