Lydia tried to stand up and fight with Connor, but a wave of dizziness hit her so hard she could barely keep her balance. Her fingers started shaking and she couldn’t stop it.
Damn it. The poison was kicking in.
Everything in front of her blurred, and Connor’s voice faded, sounding far away and muffled. She clung to his shirt, just acting on instinct.
In the chaos, Connor noticed something was off. He glanced over in a panic and saw her face had gone ghostly pale, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
His heart squeezed tight. “Hang in there, Lydia.” His voice trembled, barely holding it together.
He could handle dying, but Lydia had to survive.
“Punch through!” he shouted.
The driver floored it, and the armored car barreled straight toward a wall of flames. The heat warped the windshield, but somehow, they broke through the Blood Oath group’s blockade.
Connor told the driver to turn. The car scraped the tunnel wall, finally breaking free. In the rearview mirror, masked figures chased after them, relentless.
Lydia’s mind was slipping. She could hear Connor’s heart pounding faster and faster, the thud echoing through his shirt right next to her ear.
After what felt like forever, the car screeched to a stop in an abandoned container yard. Everything was eerily quiet, except for the faint sound of waves in the distance.
“Listen to me, Lydia.” Connor gently held her face, wiping the cold sweat from her brow. “Garrett’s lab is ten kilometers from here. I’m taking you to get the antidote, but there could be more trouble on the way. Stay with me. Don’t fall asleep.”
Lydia forced her eyes open. Connor’s eyes were so bloodshot it looked like the red was spreading into his irises. She tried to smile, but all she managed was a crooked twitch. “Okay...”
Before she could say anything else, he scooped her up into his arms.
There was a modified motorcycle in the trunk.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
