The Last Time I Cried Your Name novel Chapter 310

It was already midnight, but Laura lay wide awake in her second-floor room at The Glades. Sleep just wouldn’t come, no matter how hard she tried.

“Laura, you’re still up?” The housekeeper noticed the light seeping under the door and gently knocked before coming inside.

Laura sat clutching her phone, eyes rimmed red. “Any news from the White family?”

The housekeeper shook her head. “Nothing.”

Laura’s brow drew tight. It had been three days since Franco’s investigation started. Ever since they took him away, she hadn’t been able to reach him, or Jay. The whole ordeal had thrown her life into chaos, but right now, none of that mattered. She just wanted Franco to be okay, to walk through the door safe and sound.

Yesterday, when the bodyguards offered to bring her back to The Glades, she didn’t refuse. She didn’t have the energy to keep pretending she was dizzy, either.

But she still knew nothing about Franco’s life in that detention center. Galen wouldn’t say a word beyond “he’s cooperating with the investigation.” No matter how many times she asked, everything else was a complete mystery.

How was Franco, someone so proud and composed, supposed to handle being slandered and locked up, losing his freedom while strangers and the media spat insults at his name? Laura’s heart twisted at the thought. She absolutely refused to let anyone drag Franco’s reputation through the mud.

The housekeeper watched her for a moment, her face creased with concern. “Please rest, Laura. It’s not good to stay up so late.”

“Go, please.” Laura kept her tone even, almost distant. “Shut the door behind you and don’t come in before ten tomorrow.”
