Rory didn’t expect to run into Devin here, let alone see him holding Becky in his arms.
Becky was asleep, and only her side profile was exposed.
Noticing that Rory was staring at the woman in his arms, Devin carefully adjusted Becky’s position so that she wouldn’t see Rory.
Standing next to Rory was Babette. When she saw the sleeping Becky in Devin’s arms, she was stunned for a moment and then rushed to him. She yanked at Becky’s arm and demanded, “What did you say to Raina?”
Becky was instantly awakened from the violent yank.
She opened her eyes and blinked at the bright sunshine. Babette’s hysterical inquiry sent her into a daze and she simply frowned, unable to answer.
Only then did she realize that Devin was still carrying her. She was struggling to free herself when a familiar masculine voice sounded. “Enough! We need to get Raina to the hospital!”
After Rory barked at Babette impatiently, he glanced at Becky and briskly entered the hospital with Raina in his arms, followed by Babette, who was still crying hysterically.
Turning her head to see the two people go, Becky’s eyes were drawn to Raina’s drooping wrist, which was wrapped in a red silk scarf.
Upon a closer look, Becky realized that it wasn’t a red silk scarf, but a scarf stained with blood.
Did Raina slash her wrist?
Interesting…
But it wouldn’t be interesting if Becky was involved.
