Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 723

Sweat broke out across Clara's forehead. Her lips quivered a little before she managed to say, "I'm not feeling well... I need to rest for a bit."

She barely made it back to the bed before collapsing onto it.

Dylan quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "Clara?"

Clara's eyes fluttered open, dazed and unfocused. "Sorry, my head really hurts. Can we talk when I wake up?” Her voice was so gentle, it made something in Dylan's chest twist.

He stayed by her side, frozen for a moment, then slowly sat down, feeling like a criminal waiting for his sentence.

"Okay."

Charles was getting anxious. Every time he tried to enter the master bedroom, he was blocked at the door.
