The Endgame Chronicles (by Hugh White) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285

Ned fell silent after hearing what Cecelia said.

Did she really have to admit that right in front of him?

Griffin let out a quiet laugh.

Hayley looked down at the man whom no one could ever quite figure out, her brow tightly furrowed.

She didn’t believe a single word Griffin said, and she definitely didn’t believe she was the so-called person he loved.

She hadn’t done him any favors at all. The only thing she had ever done was help him deal with his family once and back him up that one time.

But if that was enough for him to remember her kindness, why would he turn around and trick her right after?

Was that something a normal person would do?

Not to mention that every time she ran into him later on, they ended up fighting. As soon as she beat him, he took the chance to

run.

Hayley didn’t see that as anything close to love.

And loyalty? After all that?

Please. She had hard data to prove otherwise.

She decided it was better to tie Griffin up and take him back, keep a 24-hour watch on him, and use pure persistence to force that tiny bit of loyalty out of him.

A half-zombie body like his was something she absolutely wanted. The more he refused, the more she wanted it.

Right then, voices suddenly came from the staff room.

“Wendy, what’s wrong with you?”

“Wendy!”

Hayley frowned the moment she heard the shouting.

Ned suddenly remembered something. “Hey, um, Wendy and Lindsay both drank the same water Lizzie drank!”

Hayley froze.

She immediately hoisted Griffin onto her shoulder and rushed straight toward the staff area.

As soon as she charged in, she saw two people stumbling out of the bathroom around the corner.

Wendy was clinging tightly to Oscar, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Oscar looked at her in panic. “Wendy, why does your face look like that? Wendy? Why are you shaking like this? Wendy, your face

…”

Oscar noticed her neck. Dark veins were creeping upward beneath her skin. He panicked and tried to push her away, but Wendy clung to hirn desperately.

“It hurts, Oscar. You promised you’d stay with me for the rest of our lives… Ugh… Raarh!”

The girl in his arms suddenly jerked her head up. In an instant, her face turned deathly pale, unmistakably zombie-like. Wendy opened her mouth wide, her jaw stretching far beyond what any normal person could do, and lunged straight for Oscar’s

face.

“Ah!”

Oscar screamed, then exploded with strength, shoving her away with all he had.

Bang!

Wendy slammed into the wall, then shakily stood back up, her head tilted at an unnatural angle as she lunged toward him again.

That was when Oscar spotted a cane nearby.

He remembered what Hayley had told him. A zombie’s weak point was the head.

He grabbed the cane and swung it with everything he had, smashing it toward her skull.
