Lydia’s fingers shook as she took it from him. For a moment, she just stared, not brave enough to open it.
Connor walked over to Coco and gently patted her head. “Did Luke say anything else to you?”
Coco thought about it, her voice small and sad. “Luke said, if he died, we shouldn’t be sad for him. Is Luke really gone?”
Connor let out a heavy breath. “He’s just gone somewhere really far away.”
“Will I ever see him again?” Coco’s eyes were wide, holding on to hope.
Connor didn’t answer right away. He didn’t want to lie, but sometimes the truth was just too harsh. He knelt down so he could look her in the eye. “Maybe tonight, when you sleep, you’ll see him in your dreams.”
Coco seemed unsure, so Connor gently changed the subject. “Did you get in touch with your parents?”
She nodded. “Yeah, I did.”
Her parents had been frantic, searching everywhere for her. When she called to say she was safe, it felt unreal, like they’d wake up and it would all disappear.
“Then you should hurry home. They’re probably worried sick.”
Coco nodded again, more firmly this time. “Okay.”
She paused, glancing over at Lydia, whose eyes were rimmed with red. Coco could tell Lydia was hurting, but she still quietly asked, “Lydia, will we see each other again?”

thank u!...
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...
