Chapter 25

Alexandria

Seizures.

Alton had delivered the news as if he were giving me Montague's stock report, assuring me that I could visit again in the morning. Thankfully, I'd convinced Bryce to stay with me as I heard the news. I honestly had no idea what Alton had been about to tell me, only that I was trying to give Chelsea space to get her own things without his help.

She got Suzanna and I took Bryce.

Now, an hour or more later after more of a battle than I'd waged in five days, I was racing through the hallways of Magnolia Woods. When we arrived, I didn't stop to sign a registry or even speak to the woman at the front desk. This was after visiting hours and the woman was too busy painting her nails or reading some smut to notice as we passed by.

The only one we'd spoken to was the outside guard, who'd begrudgingly allowed us to enter.

"Alexandria, slow down."

I didn't listen to Bryce as my shoes slid over the tiles and I made the final turn.
