Chapter 478:
Freya's brows drew together instantly at the sight of him.
Kristian stepped inside, calm and unreadable. “Where are you hurt?”
Freya blinked. Hurt?
“I'm hurt?” Freya asked.
“A staff member said you fell earlier, and it looked serious.” Kristian had crunning the moment he got wind
of it. Freya stiffened, then suddenly pieced it all together.
Just as she opened her mouth to tell him, “You've been tricked,” the door slammed shut with a sharp bang. A
figure in black—masked, hat pulled low—stood behind it.
The noise snapped Kristian’s head around.
