NovelEnglishChapter 634
This lifetime, neither of us would ever reach Hayden again.
The thought twisted something deep in my heart, the way it always did when | thought of him.
The worst part? | couldn't tell her. Not yet. Not until | was sure her heart-both physically and emotionally-could
take it. I'd need to talk to Lena, get Nate to give her a thorough check-up.. Because eventually, the truth would
have to cout. Hayden was gone, and while | could shield her from that heartbreak for now, | knew | couldn't
keep it buried forever.
"What do you want to tell Hayden?" | asked, forcing my voice to stay light. "Just a quick thank-you?"
"Exactly!" Yuna's face lit up as she hugged the admission letter close, her joy practically glowing.
| cleared my throat. "No need for that. Just thankinstead-I'm the one who
got you the letter."
Yuna blinked, surprised, and then her face broke into a playful grin. She gavea goofy thumbs-up. "You're the
best sis-in-law ever, Keira. Thanks!"
| accepted her gratitude with a calm smile. "You're welcome."
But Yuna wasn't about to let it go. "Still, you should call Hayden anyway."
This stubborn girl, | bit back a sigh and scrambled for another excuse. "You just want to share the good news
with him, huh? Don't bother-1 already told him."
"It's not that," Yuna said, shaking her head, her tone softer now. "I miss him. There are things | want to say to
him."
Her words hitlike a brick. | hesitated, searching for something-anything-to say, but cup blank.

Yuna wasn't dumb. She frowned, her expression sharpening as she studiedlike she was piecing something
together. "Why don't you want to call him? Did something happen to Hayden?" Chapter 634

My heart lurched.
| shook my head too quickly. "No, of course not."
"But | haven't been able to reach him since Houston," she said, grabbing my arm. in a near-panic. She even
dropped the admission letter she'd been holding so carefully. "Hayden's in trouble, isn't he?"
Her fear was palpable, and for a moment, | froze. Just one wrong word-or even a nod-and | was sure i | would
shatter her..
| scrambled for a way out, latching onto the only thing I could think of: his old profession. "No, Yuna, stop
overthinking. He's... he's been called in for another mission. It's classified. He can't contact anyone outside." She
frowned, unconvinced. "But Hayden retired, didn't he? Why would he be sent on another mission? You're hiding
something from me, aren't you?"
"I'm not," | said quickly, my voice steady but my eyes darting to the side.
"Then call him!" she shot back, practically cornering me.
| realized there was no point in arguing further, so | handed her my phone. "Look, if you don't believe me, call
him yourself. But I'm telling you, you won't get through-he's on a mission, and his line's cut off."
Yuna just stared at the phone like it might bite her. She didn't try to dial, though. Guess spart of her knew |
wasn't lying-at least about not being able to reach him. Instead, she mumbled under her breath, sounding more
lost than anything. "He promised me... he said he wouldn't do anything dangerous again."
"This is different," | said, trying to sound casual but also firm. "They're dealing with a seriously bad guy. You saw
what happened in Houston-he almost dragged you and Wade into it."
Her eyes snapped back to mine. "You're really not lying to me?" Yuna asked.
"Of course not. Stop overthinking," | said, keeping my voice steady even though | couldn't quite meet her eyes.
For a second, her shoulders sagged, and her grip on my arm loosened. Her eyes flickered with worry and doubt,
but I could see her trying-really trying-to
