Chapter 73



Kayla really seemed to be in a rough spot, looking all worn out and pale, with her spirit nowhere to be found and blood on her arms.

I had no clue how she got injured, but seeing her in such a sorry state, I bet even Clyde found it hard to turn her away.

I stepped back, silently giving them some space.

Clyde shot me a glance, then coldly offered, "I'll have my driver take you to the hospital."

"Clyde, please, I want you with me. I'm scared," she whimpered, snuggling into Clyde's embrace with an ease that suggested they had been close like this before.

Tears streamed down Kayla's cheeks like there was no tomorrow, drawing looks from the crowd gathering around. Clyde finally caved.

"Melanie, I'll go with her to the hospital," he said.

I nodded, not wanting to make a scene.

Watching them leave, the young officer I had met before peeked out again.

"Ms. Crawford, you are... remarkably composed," she remarked.

I just smiled and shook my head. What else could I do? I've gotten used to it over the years.

Seeing a familiar face, I quickly caught up with her.
