Chapter 268. Traps of Destiny

Sarah

Kael and I were leaving the restaurant where we had just finished dinner with Ryan and Madison. As I searched for my phone in my purse, I noticed several missed calls, all from the same unknown number. I decided not to return the calls; after all, all the truly important people were already saved in my phone's contacts.

Kael helped me into the car and then stowed the wheelchair in the trunk with the help of the restaurant valet. When he finally sat in the driver's seat, I let out a deep sigh, immediately capturing his attention.

"What's wrong?" he asked, starting the car and pulling away from the front of the restaurant. "Are you very tired?"

Kael had a guilty expression, and I smiled, realizing that he felt bad for insisting on going out to dinner that night. I decided to create a bit of suspense before explaining the reason.

"Some missed calls on my phone," I said, looking out the car window. "All from an unknown number."
