Chapter 70

Zach had received a call from the school and learned that Jadie was at the hospital. Halfway through his meeting, he asked Kevin to take over for him as he rushed to the scene.

Jadie was lying on the bed at SereneCare Hospital with an IV tube in her hand, her face pale. When she saw Zach, she looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, not knowing how to face him. She lowered her head and said, “Z-Zach… I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”
