Chapter 94 Stay With Me for a While

At those words, Finn stopped in his tracks. “A golden retriever… a dog?”

There wasn’t a hint of embarrassment in his eyes over the mix–up. His first thought was all about Tess’s well–being.

“How’s Tess? Is she okay?”

“Ms. Tess? She has a few minor scrapes. The doctors have already treated her, and she should’ve just left the department,” the nurse replied.

When Finn heard that, the tension in his shoulders finally eased, and the sharp edge in his demeanor softened.

Tess is alright. That’s good to know.

As the tight knot in his chest loosened, a wave of exhaustion washed over him.

And the golden retriever the nurses mentioned had been brought in for a full checkup.

Who did I cross?

“This is the third time. And like you said, it always seems like you’re nearby whenever I get hurt. So, was it you? Or …” Was it Nadine?

If he’s trying to force me back to Evermount Villa, he could’ve just said so. I wouldn’t risk putting Layla in danger again.

By the looks of him, he’s definitely not behind this.
