Chapter 250

Maxine’s POV

I was falling into darkness.

Before I hit the ground, strong arms wrapped themselves around me, holding me up. It was Ronan.

“Easy,” he whispered, his voice close to my ear. “I’ve got you. Just hold on.”

I leaned into him. I rested my head against his chest and listened to the steady beat of his heart. His arms tightened around me. I felt a strange sense of comfort. I let out a shaky breath, closing my eyes for a moment. I let myself rest in his arms.

“Maxine, stay with me,” Ronan urged. “Don’t you dare pass out on me?”

I tried to smile, but it felt a little too much. I was out of energy. “I’m okay,” I said even though I wasn’t sure if it was true.

I felt so tired and drained. It was like every ounce of energy had been sucked out of me. But Liam was breathing easier now. He was better. The color was returning to his skin. He was going to make it. I had done it. We had done it.

I felt my legs go weak again.
