Chapter 29
“I accept your apology, but it’s Mr. Atlas’ decision that your service is no longer required with the group. You have been with him for many years, so you should know better than me that no one can change his mind.” Lianne callously stared at Willow, unsure of the game Willow was playing.
Lianne, you can persuade him to reconsider. He only did it for you.” As if she had lost her mind, Willow grabbed onto Lianne’s arms.
Willow happened to squeeze on Lianne’s injured arm, and only God knew whether it was intentional Please, Lianne. I’m begging you. Please help me. Only you can help me. I’m doomed if you can’t help me plead my case…”
“Please let go, Ms. Spencer. You’re hurting me.” Lianne tried to push Willow away, but no amount of strength could dissuade the insane.
Willow clung to Lianne and shook her violently I’m not letting you go. I’m done for if I let you go…
“Unhand her!” Zane’s husky voice was suddenly heard.
Loosening her grip in fright, Willow cried out in snot and tears. “Mr. Atlas, I’ve apologized to Lianne. Please forgive me. Don’t kick me out…”
Zane stepped forward and took a protective stance for Lianne “Pete”
Heeding Zane’s call, Pete sprung up near them and threw the deranged woman over his shoulder before carrying her away.
Zane looked back at Lianne’s pale and sweaty face
He reached out to wipe her sweat, but his fingers froze just before they came in contact with her forehead
With her luscious lips moving, Lianne cried in a soft voice. “It hurts…”
Disregarding the boundaries between genders, Zane picked her up. “Dr. Leah!”
Dr. Leah had been there with her medical kit from the start. However, she did not bother the pair since they seemed to be having a moment.
Zane carried Lianne into the room, and Dr. Leah caught up to them. “Are you alright, Lianne?”
How could she possibly be alright?
The pain was killing her!
Unable to speak due to the pain, Lianne incessantly took deep breaths.
