Chloe had barely opened her mouth when Colton took the opportunity to pop the candy into it.
Sweet citrus flavor instantly melted across her tongue.
She frowned slightly.
Something stirred unexpectedly in her heart.
Butterscotch had always been one of her favorite treats.
A moment later, she came back to her senses and realized Colton's small hand was still holding hers.
Her expression hardened.
She immediately pulled her hand away and stood up.
Colton got to his feet as well and looked up at her with wide, innocent eyes.
"Ma'am, you still look really pale. Should I ask someone to take you to the hospital?"
Chloe's face turned cold again.
The candy remained tucked inside her cheek, but the brief warmth she'd felt moments ago was gone.
"No."
This was Wesley and Madeline's child
