The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 534

Half an hour later, Dahlia appeared at the airport.

She wore a hat and a surgical mask, carefully maneuvering her wheelchair and warily scanning her surroundings.

She didn't know if news of Sandy's death had already reached Charles.

Nor did she know whether he'd gotten the evidence from Wesley and handed it over to the police.

The police couldn't reach her-both the hospital and her rented apartment had come up empty. Would they realize she was planning to flee the country? Would they send someone to arrest her?
