Chapter 221
"I don't know!" Bella shouted. Her voice cracked, raw with frustration and fear. She froze, realizing there was no need to yell at her sister, who was only looking out for her.
"I'm sorry…" She quickly apologized. "I don't know, I—I'm just as confused as you."
Her voice softened, guilt swelling in her chest. She felt guilty for yelling at Evelyn, despite the fact that the latter was worried sick for her.
"No, it's my fault for pressing you so much. I should have known better." Evelyn quickly comforted her sister as she pulled her into a hug.
The warmth of the hug calmed Bella's nerves a little, but the weight of her situation remained heavy in the air between them.
