Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0349 She lowered her gaze .

I just dont want my friend to get hurt , she admitted .

Im trying to figure out whos targeting Ella so I can stop them .

Dr.

McIntyre scoffed .

By killing them ? Elizabeth met her eyes without flinching .

If thats what it takes .

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

It sent a chill down Elizabeths spine , but she didnt look away .

She had chosen to get involved in this .

She wasnt going to back out now .

Ella POV The ringing of my phone snapped my attention away from the computer screen Id been poring over .

I had spent hours studying Dianas 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 ? Elizabeths 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 .

Lets 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 wouldnt tell me exactly what Michael had overheard , but whatever it was had shaken him to his core .

I felt terrible for him .

He didnt 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 couldnt 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 wasnt about rumors or old records .

Something had happened .

There were dark circles under her eyes , her exhaustion written in every line of her face .

She hadnt 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 .

Lets 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 .

Are you sure youre okay ? I asked , glancing at her .

Elizabeth shook her head .

Not really .

She hesitated before continuing .

I had a conversation with Dr.

McIntyre last night .

And I found out something that you really need to know .

But … She exhaled slowly .

I really wish I wasnt the one who had to tell you .

My heart began to hammer against my ribs .

She spoke to Dr.

McIntyre ? How ? Why ? And what had the doctor told her that was so bad Elizabeth was afraid to say it out loud ? Lets wait until we get somewhere a little more private , Elizabeth murmured , reaching out to loop her arm through mine .

Then Ill tell you everything .

I nodded , my throat too tight to respond .

A million possibilities flooded my mind , each worse than the last .

Whatever she was about to say , I knew one thing for certain It was going to change everything .
