Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 200

The door creaked and opened slowly before a very tired-looking Edward walked in. I wonder what the two men talked about and how Zak was doing. He did tell me that he was going to call so until then, all I can do is wait for his call.

“How is Zak?” I asked, trying not to sound too overly worried.

“No…it’s not. You’re not to blame…” Edward said firmly as he tried to convince me otherwise.
