Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 484

When the news broke, we all breathed a sigh of relief. The hustle of the past few days hadn't been for

nothing.

But before we could revel in our brief moment of joy, fresh intel from Ronan’s end put a damper on

things. Jerome had sent his guys to Clara's hometown, and they were already on their way.

I couldn't sit still any longer. Springing up, I looked Logan dead in the eye and said, "I can't just sit

around. I need to go there!"

Logan rolled his eyes, clearly fed up. "As long as we see Zora, we’ll get Carl back without a hitch. You

heading over there would just stir up trouble. Just wait it out here, okay?"

I shook my head, a sense of foreboding weighing heavy on me. "I've got a bad feeling about this.

Something big is gonna happen."

Logan shook his head, saying helplessly, "You're overthinking it. Even if something does go down, you

think you're gonna be the one to fix it? Catherine's right, you need to calm down sometimes."

Before they could finish their rebuttal, I was already on the phone with Ronan, insisting, "I have to go, I

need to bring my child back myself!"

Ronan could tell I wasn't budging and said, "Easy now. Let's talk when I get there. I'll make

arrangements."

I was about to argue further when Logan cut me off—and the line went dead.

Annoyed, I shot him a defiant look. "Don't try to stop me. It's pointless. I'm going."

Logan, with a look of exasperation, replied, "I'm not trying to stop you. Even if I wanted to, it wouldn't

matter. Ronan's given the green light, and my objections wouldn't mean anything."

"How do you know he agreed? He didn't say so!" I glared at Logan, seeking confirmation.

Logan slumped into the couch with a helpless shrug. "Just wait and see, he always spoils you."

Hannah nodded in agreement, "I'll come with you! Your hunches are always spot on!"

My phone buzzed in my hand, cutting our argument short. It was a call from Clara.

Hannah craned her neck to see, her interest piqued.

The name flickered on the screen, hooking all of us with anticipation.

I swiped to answer, putting it on speaker. Clara's voice came through, steady, "Hello?"

"Clara?" I replied.

She hummed in acknowledgment, her tone laced with emotion. "It's nice to hear your voice." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her voice was hard to read, warm but distant, as if she was just catching up with family.

Keeping my tone casual, I prodded further. "You didn't just call to hear my voice, did you? Let's be

straight with each other."

She let out a laugh, devoid of malice, which made me wary. What was she playing at?

Hannah shushed me, and we all listened intently for what Clara had to say next.

"But let me remind you, Clara," I added with a stern edge, "don't test my patience. Whether it's about

Evan or Catherine's situation, you owe me an explanation. And this time, it's about my child. Consider

the consequences." Coոtent оf NovelDrama.Org

She laughed again, this time with a sarcastic edge.

Her enigmatic message left us all dumbstruck, exchanging bewildered glances. What was she getting

at?
