No Strings Attached novel (Sharp and Clara’s)

Chapter 27

Tears streamed down Heidi's cheeks like a sudden summer storm. Her injured hand was raised before lan's

eyes.

She had rushed to the hospital for treatment and then hurried back, all to catch Clara in the act, but she never expected to walk in on this scene.

lan knew about Clara’s miscarriage and still treated her with such kindness. All of Heidi's carefully laid plans — had they crumbled to dust once again?

As tears cascaded down her face, Heidi moved closer to lan. But before Heidi could reach him, lan, gripping Clara's hand, stepped back, avoiding Heidi.

His gaze was icy as he looked at Heidi, his voice devoid of emotion. “When exactly did she hurt you? She's been

with me the whole time.”

lan watched her defiant retreat, a smirk tugging at his lips. Was she getting a little too cocky?

He had only joked, and now she was taking it to heart. It seemed she needed a lesson.

Clara stormed out of the bar, feeling as if she was encased in ice. She wandered aimlessly until she found herself standing before the sanatorium, under the glow of a streetlight, looking at the quaint villa within its grounds.

Memories from seven years ago flooded over her.

It was here that she saw the once broken lan, and it was also here that she accompanied him step by step out of the darkness. Back then, she naively believed that lan was a gift from God, meant just for her.
