Chapter 449

• Dan Funnel watched Joaquin Latham’s trembling hands. The way he clutched at him was like grabbing a lifeline. But Dan refused to comfort him with a lie.
• Dan said, “Mr. Latham, snap out of it. That ‘Zayla Steele’ is an impostor. Look at her face—she just looks similar. She’s not her. Even if you don’t look at her face, look at her hands, look at her legs when she stands. Can you really fool yourself into thinking she’s that Zayla with crippled hands and legs?”
• Joaquin lifted his gaze, heart tearing open. His dried eyes flooded all over again, and the bloodshot redness looked like it might bleed.
