"Just tell me," he urged.
| had never felt this conflicted before. Should Claudia remain by Nicholas's side? He had fallen ill and needed
care. He was no longer the brother who could protect her at all times. Would she never give up on him?
A string of questions raced through my mind. The more | thought about it, the more | realized | couldn't answer
