Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 518

Eden went pale, staring at him in shock, as if the ground had just crumbled beneath her feet. Panic and fear flooded her all at once. She tried to scramble out of bed, her voice shaking so badly she could barely get the words out.

“Dylan, what are you saying? What do you want from me?”

No one ever dared to push Dylan like this.

She slipped and crashed onto the cold floor, huge tears rolling down her face.

“You used to love me most. What does that even mean—are you saying you don’t want me anymore?”

Dylan didn’t answer. He just turned and walked out.

Eden sat there on the freezing floor, her whole body numb, but her heart hurt even more. It felt like the whole world had abandoned her.

Still, she clung desperately to memories of how Dylan used to treat her. He couldn’t really leave her, could he? He was just mad. He’d come back. He had to.

All she had to do was get better.

She grabbed onto the bed, trying to pull herself up, but just then, the door opened and Simon walked in.

As soon as she saw her “brother,” fresh tears spilled over, her voice choked with sobs.

“Simon, look at me. Who could ever want me now?”

Simon closed the door quietly behind him. He poured her a glass of water, his voice gentle but full of regret.

“How did you end up like this? I heard Clara did it? Honestly, that woman’s unbelievable. I thought she was done for this time.”

He was trying to comfort her, to remind her they were allies now, both blaming Clara for everything.

“Simon, please, just drop it. I want to rest.”

Simon’s expression darkened. She was clearly hiding something, just refusing to say what.

Looks like he’d have to find another way.

“Alright, I won’t push. I’m always here for you, okay? If you need to talk, just call me.”

Those were the words she needed to hear.

Eden’s eyes reddened even more. She nodded and lay back in bed.

She wasn’t going to say anything yet. This was her last card. As long as Dylan hadn’t truly given up on her, she still had a chance—maybe the child was the only thing that could save her.
