Chapter 25: Claire’s POV

Chapter 25: Claire’s POV

I calm my sobbing and try to make sense of everything that has happened. I was kidnapped. I fell down four flights of stairs and I was pushed on purpose. Whoever hired that man

Could Charlotte have noticed and done this to drive

I lay there, staring out the window and Jordan sits there silently. He passes glances my way to make sure I’m alright as I ignore every one of them. I was grateful to Jordan in that moment but I had lost everything and there was nothing he could do.

I hear the door creak open carefully, knowing it’s not the doctor and I see Jordan look up sadly. He slowly gets up to leave.

“I’ll give you two the room. I’ll be right down the hall, Claire. Call me if you need anything.” He gives my hand a squeeze and I watch as he nods at Leo passing him silently. Leo gives him a nod and walks over to my side.

“Claire?” He asks carefully as he sits down on the bed next to me. He gently touches my face as tears stream down my cheeks.

“Claire, please tell me what happened?” He lols heart–broken by my condition alone.

“It’s doesn’t matter now.” I say in a dead–pan

“What do you mean? Of course, it does. Look at you. You’re hurt.” He was wrong. I was hurting which was far worse than my physical injuries.

“I’m okay.” I lied. I felt numb. I felt broken and I looked horrible.

“You are not okay. Had the doctor came in to see you? I can call them in right now.” He goes to get up but I grab his hand bringing back to sitting.

“The doctor already came in.” I let go as soon as he sits down and he grabs my hand again.
