Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 482

Clara's heart felt like it was hammering against her chest, threatening to break free.

It wasn't until they reached the side of the highway that Leah dared to speak. "You better start moving, Clara. Make sure you're back before the streetlights flicker on, or else..."

She didn't need to finish for Clara to understand the gravity of her warning. "Or else you won't give him the antidote. I get it, Leah; you don't have to keep threatening me. I won't forget," Clara snapped back, already turning on her heel to leave.

Leah watched her go, a frown creasing her brow.

Everything hinged on this moment. She wondered if Elio would be willing to help, let alone capable.

This was far from easy.

...

At the hospital.

Emmett and Ricardo had just wrapped up a meeting. Emmett thought he could use some fresh air but before he could even swing his legs off the bed, a sudden darkness clouded his vision.

He stumbled backward, his body crashing against the wall with a thud.

This was the first time he had experienced such a disorienting spell since he fell ill.

The onset of his condition was strange, to say the least. It had started shortly after Clara left. Could it be that he was really losing his health because he was thinking too much about Clara?
