My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1193

Isabella’s mom texted, “Thank you for saying that. I feel so much better now. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Amelia sent back a cute emoji and ended the chat. She tossed her phone aside, flopped down on the bed, and let out a heavy sigh with her eyes closed.

After a minute, she opened her eyes and just stared at the ceiling.

This can’t keep happening. It just can’t.

Isabella was still stuck in there, and her mom was running herself into the ground trying to help, pinning all her hopes on Amelia. She had to figure out a way to get Kevin Lane to help. She needed him to agree. She couldn’t go back on her word.

Amelia clenched her teeth, her mind spinning, but nothing came to her.

Well, there was one thing she could do. One thing that would probably make Kevin say yes.

But honestly, it was a terrible idea. Especially for Dennis.

She could feel her nerves buzzing, her mind and heart completely unsettled.

Was there any other option?

No. There really wasn’t.

Totally defeated, Amelia dragged herself up, opened a drawer, and pulled out a small bottle of pills. She gripped it so tightly her palm started to sweat.

This was her last shot.

She looked tormented, her brow so furrowed it felt like her face was folding in on itself. She stared at the bottle in her hand, then glanced over at her phone and read Isabella’s mom’s messages again.

Her eyes started to sting with tears. She just sat there for a long time before letting out another deep sigh.

She stuffed the bottle into her pocket and stood up.
