Chapter 63: What's Wrong With Her?

As Lina followed her father downstairs, she could feel Kaden's lethal presence to her rear. He was only two steps behind, but she felt the heat rolling off his body. His intense gaze was burning a hole through her. All he had to do was look at her and her skin would grow warm with want.

Unable to bear the stifling silence, Lina cleared her throat.

"How long was I unconscious for?" Lina asked.

"Two hours."

"Two hours."

Linden and Kaden said at the same time. They both paused, glanced at each other, and frowned. The atmosphere became tense, neither father or son-in-law broke eye contact. Eventually, their eyes narrowed into slits.

Lina hesitated. Did she just set off a ticking time bomb? 

"I-I see," Lina managed to say, in hopes it'd break their staredown.

Finally, Kaden shifted his attention to Lina. He opened his mouth to speak, but Linden beat him to the chase.
