The Heartbreak Prescription by Glazed Snow

Sierra was nervous. She had no idea what Zada was about to say next.

Zada didn’t press her and just said calmly, “I was only saying that. Since you’re not hiding anything from me, can you do me a favor?”

Sierra let out a quiet sigh of relief. The last thing she wanted was to get stuck in another tense conversation. All she wanted now was to make Zada the perfect scapegoat and throw this woman in prison.

Putting on a sincere smile, Sierra said, “Of course. We’re best friends! Whatever you need, just tell me. If it’s something I can do, I promise I’ll help.”

Zada grabbed her hand tightly. “Halsey and her baby are gone. The poison came from the chicken soup I made. Mr. Lane thinks I did it, and he’s having people look for me–he wants to turn me in.”

That caught Sierra off guard. She had seen Shaun order his men to arrest Zada back at the hospital, so how the hell had Zada shown up here?

Sierra probed, pretending to sound concerned, “Mr. Lane told his people to arrest you. Did

you escape?”

Zada nodded. “Yeah. I told them I needed to use the bathroom, then climbed out the window. By now, Mr. Lane must’ve realized I’m gone. He’s probably already sending people after me! I can’t let them catch me. I’m innocent, I swear. You believe me, right?”
