Chapter 1269

Shawn rolled off Hazel and lay beside her as he struggled to catch his breath. His gaze lingered on her flushed skin as he gently brushed a few loose strands from her damp neck. A quiet satisfaction welled up inside him when he saw the faint marks he had left on her. Just as he leaned in again, Hazel shut her eyes and murmured in a breathless whisper, "Shawn… I swear, my bones are about to fall apart." It was the first time she had ever admitted to feeling weak. Shawn told her that he would only kiss her one more time. In the end, Hazel didn't fall asleep until the first light of dawn crept through the curtains. The next day, Grace was having lunch at school with Abigail when she tried calling Hazel. There was no answer. The video call went unanswered, and even the voice message she had left Hazel received no response. Finally, Grace set her phone aside and focused on her meal. Abigail curiously asked, "Grace, are you trying to reach Hazel? I can help you look for her."
