Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 885

Jackson had only one thing on his mind: if Clara didn't come back, Dylan would probably end up starving himself into the ER. As much as Jackson loved a front- row seat to the drama, he knew he had to intervene before things went from bad

to tragic.

He grabbed his phone and texted a friend, asking for Clara's location. The reply came fast: Clara was with Kaitlyn.

Jackson perked up, giving Nicholas a quick pat on the shoulder. "You head home. I'm going to talk to Clara-try to figure out what's really going on."

He was just about to head out when footsteps echoed from the stairs. Dylan was coming down, looking pale as paper, but there was a stubborn determination in his eyes. After a couple of weak coughs, he made for the front door.

Jackson hurried after him. "Seriously? You're barely standing. Where do you think you're going?"

Dylan's lips tightened, lashes low over his eyes. "To find Clara.”
