Chapter 434

Cole’s POV

Heading back to my room is a lot harder than joining Deven in his office. It’s a struggle to focus on the present which has led to me tripping several times, this last time has me picking myself up off the floor.

“This has you very shaken up. Are you certain you don’t need to sit and talk with us a little longer?”

Deven asks as he helps me to stand. I look around me quickly. We are only halfway between Cassius’s office and my room but Cassius has disappeared. The confusion must be written on my face as Deven hasn’t let go of my hands.

“He’s gone to your room. He’s looking for your crutches.”

“No, she’s in there.” I nearly yell as I struggle to escape his grasp.

“Cole, it’s okay.”

He tries to calm me but I can do nothing but fight harder as his grip increases on my hands. I finally break free only to lose my balance with the first step I take. To my fortune Deven is still in front of me and catches me before I hit.
