Chapter 26 Action Has Consequences

• Freda's POV
• I breathed heavily as I almost ran out of breath. It's been so long that I got sick and vomited my guts out like this. I gagged as it kept coming out of my mouth into the sink where I stood. I raised my head and watched myself in the mirror. My eyes looked pale, and my cheeks looked flushed. I took a deep breath and when I was sure that I was done, I put on the tap and water began to rush. I splashed water on my face several times and took a deep breath. I leaned against the wall of the bathroom for a moment before deciding to go to my room to relax.
• I stepped out of the bathroom and I raised my head. I stood in shock as my gaze fell on Hardin standing in the room. His hands were placed in his pocket and his eyes focused on my face directly. I felt a wave of shiver, running down my spine. I blinked rapidly, taking a deep breath as I tried to control what I was currently feeling. I stepped forward, but not too close to him. A part of me was telling me that he knew something.
