Chapter 127: The Condition
REAGAN POV
I stared at Dahlia who wasn’t looking at me but instead she was looking at the door where Lady Ivana went out too. I stared at her for a moment but she wasn’t looking at me. She seems fixated on that door, almost like she wanted to get out of here. Funny how I woke up beside the woman but even now I can’t seem to figure out what she is thinking.
I know Dahlia didn’t attack Celeste and I knew she fought for her but there was just something that she was holding back. The moment she confessed to actually dong the crime, I knew right then that she was up to something and when I had asked her if she saw the attacker’s face, she had denied it which had given me the confirmation to what I was thinking.
She was protecting the assassin, but the question was why?
"Dahlia." I called and she immediately turned to look at me.
A smile appeared on her face as she stared up at me. "Well, that went well."
"Right." I said as I stared at her, "Are you okay?"
Her brows furrowed together as she stared at me. "Of course, the question is are you?"
It was my own turn to look confused. "I have no idea what you mean."
"You wanted me to stay behind?" Dahlia asked and I could hear the uncertainty in her tone as she stared up at me. "Do you not believe my innocence?"
"What? No!" I said in disbelief wondering how she could even think about such a thing.
