Chapter 183

Sadie held Nate close, brushing the dust off his clothes as she checked for injuries. Finding none, she hugged him tightly and whispered soothingly, “It’s okay now! Don’t cry! Nate, you’re a brave boy.”

A few steps behind, Madelyn had followed them down in a bit of a panic. But seeing from a distance that Sadie had confirmed Nate was okay, she stopped and composed herself.

Madelyn’s indifference toward Nate was disturbing. Regardless of her feelings, he was her own flesh and blood.
