Chapter 204
At last, the operating room light went off. The medics wheeled Lydia out, straight to the ICU.
The next 12 hours would tell if she would make it through without complications. If she did, she would be out of danger.
With the prisoner’s life in jeopardy, the police on watch bore the weight of responsibility, standing vigil outside her room.
After Walter got the information, he wasted no time telling David to strengthen the security around Lydia. There was no way they were going to let her slip away.
Evangeline peered through the ICU’s observation window at Lydia, who was hooked up to a bunch of tubes and fighting for every breath. A storm of rage swirled in her eyes.

It felt like just yesterday when her own mother, Yessica, was the one in the ICU, a tangle of tubes keeping her alive.
Was it time for the bad guys to get a taste of the same medicine?
Lydia finally had to live through agony worse than death–she was going to suffer a million times more than her mom ever did!
Evangeline’s fingers traced Lydia’s face through the glass, her teeth clenched in fury..
“Lydia, you better not die!”
Walter had just ended his call with David when those words hit his ears.
He glanced over at Evangeline and saw her looking like she had been through the wringer.
Her face was ghostly pale, but her eyes were fiery red, locked on Lydia in the ICU loathingly.

In that instant, he got the picture.
He suddenly saw Evangeline in a different light–she seemed so vulnerable.
Despite her tough talk and the way she would butt heads with him, she was just a delicate soul who needed someone to watch over her.
