Chapter 20

CYNTHIA

My breath hitched in my throat as Reese stepped into view.

My jaw dropped to the floor. What the hell was he doing here?! I thought he was still in the hospital?! What was going on here? Wasn't he unconscious just yesterday? Plus, the doctor had specifically said that he might not be able to walk so soon. How come he was back up on his feet this fast?

My pulse leaped as so many questions raced through my mind.

"Reese, how is this possible? I thought the doctor said you wouldn't be able to walk so soon." I quizzed him, eyeing him closely with disbelief and shock etched on my brows.

He shrugged as if it were no big deal.

"It's a miracle, I guess," he responded simply, and his eyes flickered at Valentina, and something glinted in his eyes as he held her gaze.

My stomach churned rapidly as fury and envy started brewing inside of me.

What the hell was that? What's with that look they were giving each other? Was there something going on between the two of them that I didn't know of?
