Chapter 625-Too Late
Helanie:
I had been staring at the screen, numb and afraid. Did he steal her phone? Did he hurt her? There were so many questions running through my mind, and I was panicking for answers.
I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even realize someone had come into the room, until I felt Norman wrap his arm around my shoulders and kiss my temple.
"I brought you some fresh fruit," he whispered, holding a bowl in his hand. A few minutes ago, this gesture would have meant a lot. But now, I was anxiously staring at the screen.
"Babe, are you mad at me? I’m so sorry. I was burning with jealousy," he whispered again, resting his forehead against mine, his lips brushing close to my ear.
"Norman!" I said and pulled away from him. He noticed my expression and frowned, instantly setting the bowl down.
"What is it?" he asked, as if he instantly sensed something bigger was wrong.
"I got a call from Salem. But—but it wasn’t her. It was Rune—!"
The tears I had been holding back finally found their excuse. The moment they spilled, Norman snatched the phone from my hand and tried calling her back.
"No one’s answering," Norman said. "Let me call Gavin."
He pulled out his phone and quickly dialed Gavin’s number. I covered my mouth with my hands and began to sob.
