Chapter 76 Confrontation

• Rowan... In her mind, Thea could see how much pain Rowan was in. She could picture his little face scrunched up in agony and his eyelashes were fluttering as he whimpered in pain. Alarm bells were ringing in her head as she thought, Could Rowan be hurt?
• Given that her phone was not with her at the moment, she could not call the school to inquire into Rowan’s condition, if there was even any at all. She was going to have to make her way downstairs to the mart so she could use their phone to call Miss Parks. After having switched off the gas stove, she hastily removed her apron and hung it on the rack. Then, she turned to head for the front door.
• However, she froze in place when she opened the door to reveal Ethan standing on the other side of it. She had no idea that he would show up and there was a dangerous look in his dark, eagle eyes as he glowered at her. She thought she smelled the faintest scent of tobacco lingering on him.
