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.

Exhaling a sigh of relief, she called out to Sadie with an aloof detachment. “Sadie, since he’s fine, bring him up here, will you?”

If it weren’t for the fear of Brian questioning her, perhaps even blaming her, she wouldn’t want to lay her eyes on the kid.
