Chapter 348

Someone suddenly pulled me into a tight hug—I froze. I was about to shove him off when the next words caught me off guard. He knew my name. He said he’d been looking for me. Wait… who even is this guy? I struggled a bit, trying to break free, but he held on too tight, like he was trying to fuse me into his bones or something. My chest was tight, and I could barely breathe. I mumbled, “Uh, can we just talk it out first? Can you... maybe let go? I’m kind of out of air here.” Jordan Bryant immediately let go, pulling down his black mask to reveal a strikingly pale, handsome face. “You're okay... thank goodness,” he said, staring at me like he was trying to imprint every inch of me into his mind. His gaze was deep, the corners of his eyes tinged red. Full of worry. He lifted a hand and brushed lightly against my cheek. “You’ve lost weight… must’ve had a tough time.” I just stood there, stunned, staring blankly at this young man in front of me. I didn’t even flinch when he touched my face.
