Chapter 229 229: Rising tensions...

Ramsey

As Seth left to deliver the message, I was reluctant to leave. The unexpected arrival of someone connected to Miriam set off warning bells in my mind.

I studied her face. "Do you have any idea what this could be about?"

She shook her head. "No, But I'll find out soon enough."

I crossed my arms. "Do you want to see her?"

She exhaled, thinking. "I suppose I should. If she came all this way, it must be important."

"Then let me go with you," I said firmly.

She gave me a small smile but she shook her head. "I appreciate your protectiveness darling, but I should talk to her first. If something feels off, I'll let you know.

I trusted Lyla's judgment and she was right – we couldn't put everything on hold for every surprise that came our way. Still, I didn't like it but I also knew she could handle herself. I studied her for a moment before nodding. "Fine. But if she tries anything…"

"I'll handle it," she assured me, swinging her legs over the bed.

"And if anything seems off…"

"I will call you immediately," she smiled, resting her palm against my chest.

I wasn't convinced but I decided to let it go. I leaned in, stealing one last kiss before stepping back. "Be careful. Mind link me if you need anything. I'll be in the garden with Lenny. Let me know how it goes, okay?"

She nodded. "You too. Tell me what Lenny says."

I gave her one last look before turning and walking out of the room As I made my way down the hall, my mind raced with possibilities.

What did Terra want? And more importantly, how was she connected to Miriam?

Something told me that this visit wouldn't be simple and I also had a sinking feeling that whatever it was – it was only the beginning.

As I turned towards the garden two questions now occupied my mind.
