Chapter 602
"Mia, have you forgotten? We've known each other longer than you've known
Sarah, haven't we? We used to chat together, shop together, laugh together. Why did you start dislikingafter
Sarah calong? It hurtstoo."
Mia froze, not knowing how to respond. It was true - she had cast Vivian as the obstacle between her brother and
Sarah.
In all fairness, Vivian had always been nice to her. "I... it's all my brother's fault!"
She threw down her utensils and ran to her room.
Vivian concealed the laughter in her eyes. She'd always known Mia was easily manipulated.
At the Chancer residence.
James returned hexhausted from work. His mother was playing cards with several women in the living room.
"James, you're back?" His mother didn't look up from her game.
James took off his coat and went upstairs, his mother's conversation with the other women following him.
"Have you heard? That Zachary Reynolds is engaged to Miss Wilson. The engagement party is in a month. That
Sanders girl really miscalculated."

"I always said that woman was just trying to marry into wealth and power, but Zacharywasn't interested!"
"It's not just that he wasn't interested - William, being such a formidable figure, would never tolerate such a
woman. | could see it clearly at Zachary's birthday celebration - William didn't like her."
"I'd love to see the Sanders family's reaction, but that's impossible now."
"Mrs. Chancer, you have it easier now - you don't even have to look after your pregnant daughter-in-law."
James's mother shifted uncomfortably. "Our Charlotte was framed - framed by that Sarah!"
BANG!
The study door slammed shut. James leaned against it, lost in thought.
Of course he knew about Zachary and Vivian's engagement, and about Sarah's kidnapping that night.
He'd searched quietly but found no clues.
The night Zachary and Vivian got engaged, Sarah was found at the university entrance, which had relieved him.
In his current position, he couldn't openly approach Sarah, but emotions often outweighed reason. He was losing
control.
He sat in his study in pain, pulling out the family album Sarah had made. Since finding it, he'd kept it in his
drawer, looking at it whenever he could.

James gave a self-mocking smile. The world doesn't offer so many "What if."
He didn't even turn on the light, just sat there, tracing Sarah's face in the photos by moonlight.
"Sarah, are you doing alright now?"
At the city hospital, private room.
Sarah broke into a violent cough. The nurse changed her medication.
"How much longer until | can leave?" she asked.
