Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 230

Victor winced as Claire's grip tightened on his arm, her agitation palpable. He quickly tried to soothe her, "Take a deep breath, Claire."

But how could Claire possibly calm down?

Even as an outsider, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pity.

At that moment, Sean spoke up, "Claire, come here."

It was the first time he had addressed her so warmly by her first name.

Yet Claire, with her back to him, neither heard nor saw him.

Sean paused, momentarily confused by her lack of response, then remembered she couldn't hear him. He stood up, walked over to her, and gently took her hand.
