Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 380

"But aren’t you injured? What did the doc say? Where exactly did the bullet hit?"

"I'm not quite sure. Emmett, Patrick, and Sophia just told me I'm fine and that I just need some rest."

"That's great. What's the plan now?"

"You and your guys should leave the country and hang out abroad for a while. Once things are stable here, I'll let you know. I'm worried Emmett might start snooping around; it could get you guys in hot water."

"Got it. But once we leave, you'll be all alone here. Want me to stick around and send the rest?"

"No need! If you guys stick around, it'll just be a distraction. I just saved the Melendez family's kid. There's no way they'd suspect me.”

“Okay, I get it. Take care of yourself. I’ll wait for your call.”

After hanging up, Leah immediately deleted all call records, even resetting her phone to factory settings.

Not long after, Sophia walked in from outside, carrying a bowl of freshly cooked soup. “The doc said you can have some liquid food in a couple of hours. I’ve got it all ready.”

“Thanks for caring.” Leah smiled weakly. “Can I see the pictures of the kids? Things were pretty hectic; I didn’t get a good look at them. Alex is so mature now.”
