AFTER I AMAZED 154

Chapter 154

I hesitated for a moment before turning to Leo.

"I think you've got everything handled here," I said, my tone light but distant. "I'm not needed anymore. Get some rest and recover."

With that, I followed Orlando out of the room, feeling the tension drain from my body as we made our way down the hospital's sterile corridors.

But just as we reached the entrance, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

I turned to see Leo chasing after me, his eyes wide with desperation.

grabbed my arm, his voice trembling slightly.

"Dont go," he pleaded. "I'll give you everything I have-my entire fortune if that's what it takes. Just please, don't leave because of Andrew. I can't bear the thought of you marrying someone else for money."

I looked straight at him and asked, "Do you think I'm someone who marries for money?"

Leo's expression darkened, but he managed a weak smile.

"No," he muttered, his voice hoarse, "I wish you were that kind of person. Maybe then you wouldn't have wasted a second glance on me." His tone was drenched in self-loathing.

I pulled myself from his grip, my words flat, almost emotionless. "I'm not marrying anyone."

His eyes lit up with a spark of hope, and I knew I had to crush it before it grew.

"But that has nothing to do with you, Leo," I added quickly. "I chose this life for myself. I'm thriving now, with a career I'm proud of. I don't lack people who admire me, people who pursue me. It's much better than when I was Luna in Silver Moon." Leo's face paled. His jaw clenched, his hurt unmistakable, but I ignored it, turning away without a second thought.

Orlando's car pulled up, and I got in without a glance back.
