Chapter 57

Eddy’s body shuddered violently with anger. He looked at Caroline as she stumbled away. Suddenly, he felt that the distance between them was getting larger. It felt like they were worlds apart.

He felt a strange sense of pani

“Okay.”

Silence fell over the bathroom. Except for the screeching of a wheelchair. Caroline’s hands trembled with fury. She couldn’t hold it any longer. She pushed open the cubicle door and saw Layla, whose face turned white.

Not one to back down easily, Caroline shoved Layla. The force of which was so great that it sent Layla and her wheelchair tumbling.

Caroline pulled Layla’s hair so forcefully that her knuckles turned white. Yet the searing pain did nothing to curb Layla’s smugness.
