Chapter 28

  Araceli POV

  I froze.

  Valeria was automatically drawn to Raphael every time she saw him.

  Krish turned his head. He frowned slightly when he saw Valeria and pulled Valeria's arm.

  "Vallie, don't go out. Mommy will be worried." Krish whispered, "Mom is not feeling well right now. We can't let her worry about us, right?"

  Valeria looked at Krish, nodded, and stopped in her tracks.

  She looked at Raphael's back in the corridor. After a long moment, she withdrew her eyes.

  I breathed a sigh of relief.

  I felt better, but still a little groggy, so I decided to stay here until tomorrow.

  Krish and Valeria slept on the other bed in the ward. They stayed quiet and didn't make a fuss.

  Reynaldo sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, "I have sent someone to check it out. It was indeed Eclipse who sent those men to kill you today."

  "I know." I frowned. "Eliezer just went to the police station, but the female secretary won't say anything."
