Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 194

Two days passed, and Clara finally regained her freedom to move around. She had spent the past week acting as Dylan’s personal sleep aid, lying still as a statue in bed.

After a refreshing shower that morning, Clara declared her plans to leave Palm Bay. Engrossed in his morning paper on the sofa, Dylan barely flinched at her announcement.

Clara quickly filled in the details, “You know that Mercy Hospital out in the countryside? I mentioned I needed to convince Calix to move. I’ve been delayed because of my injuries, but I’ll be back on track now. Just checking, Mr. Dylan—you’re not planning to fire me, right?”

Dylan paused, his grip on the newspaper tightening before he looked up slowly. He’d been sleeping well all week, and it showed in his healthier appearance.

“Who said anything about firing you?”

Clara exhaled in relief, her face lighting up. “That’s a relief! I’ll head to the hospital soon and make sure I get the job done.”

Having neglected June for a week, it was high time she paid a visit and dug into the details of the accident. As she drove off, Clara checked her phone, which had been off for ages. After giving it some juice, she found only a few messages, mostly from Scarlette wondering why she’d been AWOL.

Three days had passed since Scarlette’s message, so replying now seemed a bit late. But just as she was en route to the hospital, her phone buzzed again with another message from Scarlette.

A quick call to the police confirmed her hunch. The culprits had fled to Mexico, and suddenly, everything made sense.

Clara clutched her phone, her thoughts drifting to Colton’s situation. Sadly, he was still in a coma. Quinn’s cold-blooded move had been a deadly one, and even the Warren family’s swift response couldn’t catch the crucial moment.

Quinn had the Bradfords wrapped around her finger and was a master at playing the innocent, making it tough to spot any cracks in her facade. The only potential lead might be her foster parents. The Bradfords believed Quinn had a rough upbringing, and it was worth looking into.

As Clara headed towards Mercy Hospital, Quinn was busy sending a proposal to Ferguson Corporation. The proposal was for a joint development project, and though it was labeled as a partnership, it was clearly a bid to win over Ferguson Corporation.
