The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 115

York tapped the brakes, watching her out of the corner of his eye.

"I didn't forget my promise."

"She's already waiting for you."

Madeline turned her face away. Hearing him harp on about such a small favor actually sent a pang of guilt through her chest.

Between the car accident and Evie's surgery preparation, the last two weeks had been a blur.

She had nearly forgotten about Piper Lane's case entirely.

Yet York had kept it at the top of his mind.

The car quickly arrived at the detention center. York parked and stood by the entrance.

"Go on in. I've handled the paperwork. I'll be right here waiting for you."

Madeline looked at him and nodded.

She was just about to thank him when he beat her to the punch.

"Don't look at me like you're about to throw yourself at me in gratitude. It makes you look a little desperate."

Madeline rolled her eyes.

He really was incapable of acting like a decent human being for more than five minutes.

She never should have expected anything sweet from this jerk.

If he wasn't the heir to the Yates family, someone would have beaten him to death for that mouth by now.

Madeline walked inside, and Piper was quickly escorted out.

Her hair was a tangled mess, and she had lost a shocking amount of weight. A nasty, purple bruise stained the corner of her mouth.

When Piper saw Madeline, her eyes were glazed over, taking a long moment to process reality.

Separated by the glass, Piper suddenly burst into tears.

"Maddy, I knew you'd help me. I've been waiting for you."

Seeing her friend weep brought a sharp lump to Madeline's throat.

Her heart shattered.
