Chapter 33 The Price of Protection

“She’s awake?”

Finn’s tone was sharp. His attitude toward Natalie was far from friendly-after all, if not for her, Baron wouldn’t still be unconscious.

Natalie hadn’t gotten out of bed, but she could clearly feel Finn’s hostility.

Her fingers tightened around the edge of the mattress.

Yvonne let out a quiet breath when she saw it was Finn.

“Finn, Ms. Summers is awake. Her heart rate and vitals all look stable. But you came in without sterile gear -if Ms. Summers gets infected, Mr. Gunn won’t be happy.”

“Shut it. Mr. Gunn can’t blame anyone while he’s still unconscious. There’s an attack happening outside. Keep her safe. If necessary, move her to the underground facility.”

Finn cast Natalie a look of disdain.

“That scarred-up freak… I don’t know what Mr. Gunn even sees in her.”

“Finn!”

Yvonne frowned, clearly disapproving, but didn’t dare argue back too loudly.

Finn sneered. “Your sister died in Ocean City because of her, and you still treat her like she’s worth something. What kind of spell does this woman have on you and Mr. Gunn?”

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire echoed from outside.


Natalie stiffened.
