Chapter 231 Lucas Played Me

• Lucas acted as if the bomb he’d just dropped meant nothing at all. He hooked an arm around me and dragged me upright before I could resist. I closed my eyes and reminded myself not to argue with a lunatic.
• The only small mercy was that the ointment on my ankle had started working. The pain had dulled into a cool, soothing numbness.
• I limped forward, one step solid, the next barely more than a drag. Then Lucas suddenly bent down.
