Chapter 1357
Lucy's hand, gently caressing Bruce's cheek, suddenly stiffened. She turned her
head to look at Susan, catching the resolute expression on her daughter's face.
Lucy's breath caught, tears spilled over her lashes, and she clenched her teeth
with a fierce intensity. Finally, the grip of her jaw slowly relaxed.
Her face was ashen, void of any color, a solitary tear traced her cheek. With a
