Chapter 55 Internal Conflicts

Madison's breath caught in her throat as Bella's words echoed in her mind. "Nate is alive." She leaned closer to Bella, her voice trembling with urgency.

"What do you mean? How do you know he's alive?" Madison asked, her hands gripping Bella's shoulders.

But before Bella could respond, her body went limp again, her eyes closing.

"Bella!" Madison exclaimed, her heart pounding. She looked up at Evelyn, panic etched on her face.

Evelyn quickly checked Bella's pulse and breathing, then turned to Madison and Ryder with a calm expression. "She's fine. She's just sleeping. Whatever she experienced drained her completely. The best thing we can do now is let her rest."

Madison let out a shaky breath, her mind racing. Ryder placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Let's step out and give her some space," he suggested.
