Chapter 343 Just Like A Mother

• As we hurried back to the hotel, panic clawed at my insides like a wild animal. Mia's arm was a reassuring anchor around my shoulders, but it did little to calm the storm raging within me. My thoughts were a chaotic whirlwind, tossing around possibilities and fears like leaves in a tempest.
• "Are you okay, Evie?" Mia's voice cut through the turmoil in my mind, but her concern only served to intensify my anxiety. I nodded weakly, not trusting myself to speak without giving away the sheer terror I felt.
• As we made our way through the parking lot, my mind raced with thoughts of Timothy and Andy. Had they managed to find Kamran? Had they convinced him to call off the wedding? The uncertainty gnawed at me, twisting my stomach into knots.
