Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel Chapter 349

Chapter 0349 

She lowered her gaze. “I just don’t want my friend to get hurt,” she admitted. “I’m trying to figure out who’s targeting Ella so I can stop them.” 

Dr. McIntyre scoffed. “By killing them?” 

Elizabeth met her eyes without flinching. 

“If that’s what it takes.” 

There was a long silence as the two women stared at each other, then a smile spread across the doctor’s face. 

It sent a chill down Elizabeth’s spine, but she didn’t look away. She had chosen to get involved in this. She wasn’t going to back out now. 

Ella POV 

The ringing of my phone snapped my attention away from the computer screen I’d been poring over. 

I had spent hours studying Diana’s meetings, searching for any pattern or clue that might make sense of what was happening—especially her secret meetings with the King–but I was getting nowhere. 

I answered without hesitation. 

“Hey, can we meet?” Elizabeth’s voice came through the line, tight with tension. 

Immediately, my senses went on high alert. Something was wrong. 

“Sure. Right now?” I asked, already closing my laptop and gathering my things. 

“Yeah,” she said. “I can meet you downstairs in ten minutes. Let’s get lunch.” 

“Sounds good.” 

The line went dead. 

I stayed frozen for a moment, gripping my phone. Something was definitely wrong. That conversation had been far too normal–too rehearsed–given everything that had happened over the past few days. 

I sent Alexander a quick text, letting him know I was meeting Elizabeth. 

He was with Michael, trying to reassure his younger brother that it was safe to return home. They wouldn’t tell me exactly what Michael had overheard, but whatever it was had shaken him to his core. 

I felt terrible for him. He didn’t deserve to be caught in the middle of this. 

Neither did Elizabeth. 

It seemed like trouble followed me wherever I went, and the people closest to me always got dragged into it–no matter how hard I tried to shield them. But now, I needed their help. I couldn’t afford to push them away. 

Hopefully, Elizabeth had found something useful–new records, maybe, or information from another servant who had noticed something suspicious. 

I waited in the lobby, trying to calm the storm of thoughts in my head. James noticed me and took up his position. I knew he would be following a few feet behind and it eased my fears a little. 

When Elizabeth finally appeared, my stomach twisted. This wasn’t about rumors or old records. Something had happened.

She was smiling, but it was forced–tight. There were dark circles under her eyes, her exhaustion written in every line of her face. She hadn’t slept. 

“You look exhausted,” I said as I approached. 

“So do you,” she replied with a faint smirk. 

“Seems sleepless nights are going around.” 

Elizabeth nodded, letting out a quiet sigh. “Let’s go talk,” she said. “I have something you need to know.” 

A flicker of unease curled in my gut. 

“Okay,” I said hesitantly, stepping past her to open the door. 

We walked out onto the street, moving toward the shopping center without discussing where to go. Our feet simply followed routine.
