Chapter 23

• Except… Unexpected as it might have been, it hadn’t been seeing Bruce which had made Sara ill. That had only happened when the other man’s wife had joined them. Was it because Sara still had feelings for the man, and the existence of that wife now made reconciliation impossible? Her scathing attitude towards her ex-fiance whenever she spoke to him would seem to imply otherwise. And yet… There was no denying that something had made Sara ill just a short time ago. The same something that was still causing her to tremble.
