Chapter 1638

Maeve woke in the dead of night, feeling restless. When her eyes fluttered open, she realized her forehead was damp with cold sweat. "Are you still worrying over Bryce?" Zion's voice came softly from beside her. His voice instantly soothed her frayed nerves. Maeve instinctively curled up in his arms. For the past two months, they had shouldered all the hardships alone. It had been a long time since she had been in Zion's arms in peace. "It's my fault," Maeve murmured. "If it wasn't for my trust in Bryce, the Palmer family wouldn't have ended up in such chaos, and Mr. Palmer Senior wouldn't have been admitted to the hospital." "This isn't your fault," Zion said softly while patting her back. "Even without you, The Lucent would have found a way into the Palmer residence. That was always their goal." "But I just can't understand why Bryce turned out to be one of The Lucent," Maeve said, her thoughts still tangled. She had spent the entire night trying to make sense of it.
