But then, why would Clement have let her go so easily?
Although Wendy had passed, she recalled that she had wounded Clement before doing so.
And Michael had told her that he had arrived on the scene in the nick of time.
Nonetheless, was it really all good timing and coincidence?
That Micheal had turned up just when she had passed out?
"Yes, really," Michael replied resolutely.
Looking at her tenderly, he squeezed her hands, urging, "Don't you believe me?"
It was only then that Michael realized that his hands were cold.
Instantly, Michael withdrew his hand and tucked Wendy's hands under the sheets, seemingly to keep her from feeling cold.
