Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 426

As expected, Nathan reached out his hand toward her.

His large palm came to rest on her tiny neck.

Claire's eyes widened in alarm. What was happening? Wasn't he supposed to pick her up and throw her away? Why was he choking her instead?

Did Nathan really intend to strangle her?

Her delicate, infant neck was squeezed tight, and she instantly felt herself suffocating.

Great. I just got a second chance at life, and now I'm about to be choked to death.

But the next second, Nathan released his grip and scooped her up in his arms.

Claire let out a silent sigh of relief.

At least he didn't strangle me.

Last time, Nathan had abandoned her, and in this life, he'd made the same choice.
