章 160: A lost battle

"Al… Alive?" Evelyn sucked in a sharp breath, her heart racing wildly. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes, the thought of seeing her again overwhelming her mind. What if they mistook someone else for her? Fear flooded her chest, but Damien could never be wrong.

"Ronan and Damien are already there. He asked if you wanted to fly?" Zevian asked, understanding Damien's concerns. It seemed like there was more to what he had told them, something that might hurt Evelyn even worse, and the subtle warning scared them. Just when she was finally smiling amidst the mess, here was another of fate's cruel twists, ready to snatch it away.

"Ye-yes!" Evelyn replied in a shaky voice.

Zevian nodded and looked over at John, who had already returned, alerted by Damien's men about this new mission. Rita, too, looked worried for Evelyn, unsure of how well she was coping with it.
