Chapter 57
Exam was, as usual, defending Leah, even though she was in the wrong. He clearly didn’t want me to make things harder for her
But why? Leah had stirred up trouble time and time again. Just because I didn’t want to argue with her didn’t mean I was going to let her push me around.
I held his gaze for a moment before he walked over to me. “We need to talk.”
Clearly, he was intent on defending Leah, and I wouldn’t stand for Lyla being mistreated. I had no idea what he wanted to talk about, and I wasn’t interested in hearing him out.

Yet, the handprint was now are pronounced than before. My heart ached, and I wanted to reach out to touch her, but I hesitated, afraid of hurting her. However, Lyla took my hand and placed it on th
her cheek. “It doesn’t hurt, Eve.”
For some reason, tears welled up in my eyes as soon as her words sank in. Lyla had always been a pampered Ettle princess, sheltered and protected by her parents since she was YOUNE
