When She Rose From the Ashes

Chapter 34 A Bond in Blood

How useless she was.

When Sharon hurt her, she hadn’t been able to save herself.

And now she was dragging Baron down with her.

Living like this felt worse than dying.

But then she remembered Jensen’s betrayal, Sharon’s cruelty-how could she be willing to just die like that?

Natalie’s heart was a tangled storm.

Outside, things were chaotic, and Yvonne grew worried.

“Ms. Summers, stay here. I’ll go take a quick look. Don’t move around.”

“Alright.”

Natalie nodded.

She felt like nothing more than dead weight now. If she couldn’t help them, then at the very least she shouldn’t become their burden.

After Yvonne left, the only sounds in the safe room were the faint clinks of glass as the doctors worked with their medicines.

Natalie was exhausted, but she refused to sleep. The pain of her burns scorched through every inch of he body, making rest impossible.

To distract herself, she turned to look at Baron.

He was strikingly handsome.

She had never seen a man like him before.

Jensen was handsome too, but in a different way.
