Chapter 297 Cold Beneath the Heat

The lead attorney finished speaking and left with his team, giving Johnathan no time to think–Sierra was already being brought out.

“Sierra!”

Johnathan rushed forward and pulled her into his arms. He’d wanted to do this the moment he saw her, and now he finally could.

Sierra buried herself in his embrace, clinging to him tightly. It wasn’t until a long while later that she felt alive again.

When they got home, Sierra locked herself in the bathroom and didn’t come out for over half an hour.

“… Yeah.”
