Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 65

Clara had just woken up when she heard a lively commotion outside. She was still battling a fever and had lost a noticeable amount of weight. As she stepped out, Addison came rushing over. Her face lit up with excitement. She grabbed Clara's hand and eagerly pulled her toward the door.

"Hurry up! There are loads of farmers outside looking for you. They want to give you a banner to show their appreciation!"

Clara was caught off guard. A banner?

Addison led her to the hotel's entrance, where a bustling crowd awaited. At the front were several young folks, their faces beaming with excitement like it was Christmas morning.

Still a bit bewildered, Clara watched as bursts of confetti filled the sky.

"Clara, this is our way of saying thanks. You have to accept it; we've all signed it."

"We heard a big-time developer is interested in this area for a new project. A lot of our lands caught their eye. From now on, whenever you visit Ashford, everything’s on us—free for life!"

"Yeah, my family's land got chosen too. We were discussing prices just this morning. The developer’s team said they decided to check out North Ashford all because of you. You’re our lucky charm!"

Clara looked at the banner, still trying to wrap her head around everything. It wasn’t until the young people placed the banner in her hands that a wave of warmth filled her heart.

Just as she was about to say something, the rumble of an approaching car engine interrupted her.
