CHAPTER 358
~Zara's POV~
Snow was at my side in an instant, his hands cupping my face as he searched my eyes. "Are you okay? How do you feel?"
"Tired," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. My gaze shifted to my mother, who stood a few steps back, her expression unreadable.
"You shouldn't be up," Snow said firmly, his fingers brushing my hair away from my face. "You need to rest."
"I'm fine," I insisted, though my body protested with every movement.
"No, you're not," Snow snapped, his anger flaring again as he turned toward my mother. "Look at her! You pushed her too far!"
"She's stronger than you think," my mother shot back, her tone defensive. "She's capable of more than this, and you coddling her isn't going to help."
