Falcon’s men just crumpled to the floor, sobbing and begging for mercy. Connor didn’t even look at them. He just kept walking, Lydia held tight in his arms, headed straight for the helipad. Those guys had done so much evil, they deserved way worse than death.
The next time Lydia woke up, she was in the best hospital in town. Not only was Connor there, but Garrett was too. Connor had been so worried about the poison and Lydia’s injuries that he’d called Garrett right away. Garrett looked like he hadn’t slept at all. Lydia was so pale, lying there in that hospital bed, and he would’ve traded places with her in a heartbeat. If Lydia hadn’t had such a strong body, and if she hadn’t taken those antidote pills and medicine to repair her organs, Garrett didn’t even want to think about how bad things could have gotten. The poison was under control for now, but it could come back at any time. Garrett was seriously freaked out.
When Lydia opened her eyes, both Connor and Garrett let out a breath of relief.
“Lydia!”
“Lydia!”
She glanced at their anxious faces and tried to joke, her voice barely more than a scratch. “Don’t worry, I’m not planning to die.”
The truth was, the pain from her wound was still sharp, the poison burning through her, but she kept it to herself.
Garrett’s eyes were full of worry and guilt. “Lydia, I already sent your blood sample to Kevin back home. Just focus on getting better. We’re going to find an antidote as fast as we can.”
The poison in Lydia was complicated, almost weird. But no matter what, they were going to find a cure.
Lydia nodded. “I trust you guys. And even if you can’t do it, I’m still here. If Miracle Hands dies, I’d ruin my own reputation, right?”
Connor could tell she was only saying that to make them feel better. He and Garrett had already talked about it last night. The poison was super strong and aggressive. Finding a cure was going to be really tough.
Garrett frowned. “You are going to live a long, long life.”
“Yeah, Lydia has to live to be a hundred,” Connor added, trying to smile.
Lydia gave them a small, tired smile. Then she looked up. “Where’s Luke?”

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...
