Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 483

Waiting, it gnawed at me, ratcheting up my anxiety with each passing moment. Only Ronan's promise

that he'd bring my child back within a week stood as my pillar of sanity amidst the chaos.

I'd tell myself during bouts of restlessness that Ronan wouldn't break his promise, that he wouldn't let

me down. Yet, each minute dragged on like an eternity, and I dared not call anyone for updates, fearing

the worst - that there was no news yet.

Then, on the morning of the fourth day, Logan buzzed with news that Clara had been spotted back in

her hometown, though Zora was still missing.

A surge of excitement shot through me, and I hastily told Logan, "Keep an eye on Clara; she won't let

Zora slip away easily. Believe me, the showdown between those sisters is bound to happen. It won't

just fizzle out!"

As we were speculating about Clara waiting for Zora's arrival back home, Ronan's call came through.

He ordered Logan to tap into Jerome's upcoming calls, suspecting that he sent Clara on the hunt for

Zora.

I slapped my thigh in excitement, exclaiming, "That's exactly what I was thinking. It all adds up. Why

else would Clara be with Jerome?"

Hannah caught on to my train of thought instantly.

Ronan's command was like a lightning bolt of clarity, unlocking a floodgate of connections I had

struggled to make sense of before.

I turned to Hannah, piecing it together for her, "After she left that house Jaylan had for Zora, she

must've parted ways with Zora. Joining Jerome must have been her choice because she needs a place Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

where she can completely overpower Jaylan and Zora.

She doesn't care if the guy's a fugitive or an outlaw. Think about it; she knew she was infected, so

she's acting out of desperation, like a cornered animal."

"That makes total sense! And it's clear she has some sort of beef with you!" Hannah said candidly.

"The grudge she has against me is because of the infection! She resents me for standing by coldly

while Jaylan infected her. But man, she was in Jaylan's bed quicker than I could warn her. Before I

could even understand her real motives for coming to my place looking for her sister, her deed was

done! Talk about being reckless!" I spread my hands in resignation.

Hannah snickered, "Those sisters are a piece of work. She didn't consider your feelings when she slept

with your husband! So why blame you for being indifferent when she got sick?"

"That's just it! And there's the DNA report too; it now explains why Clara's original report vanished

without a trace, only for Jerome to end up with a fake. It wasn't Zora challenging Jerome; it was Clara

the whole time!"

Logan chuckled sarcastically, "Those two are quite the pair, aren't they? Each move is a matter of life

and death!"

Hannah picked up where I left off, "And then, after we cleared things up with Jerome at the funeral

home, we tried to find Zora, only to realize we were a step behind. That's why Clara was sent to track

Zora!"

I nodded approvingly at Hannah.

Logan said, "We thought of her hometown right from the start, but her family insisted she wouldn't

return!"

"That's the only explanation then!" Hannah agreed, nodding. Draмanоvеls.com

Turns out, my hunch was spot on.

This news was exhilarating, but something still didn't sit right with me.
