When I saw Marcus enter, I smiled and sat up in bed. “Marcus, you…”

But when I noticed Elena behind him, my expression instantly stiffened. My hands secretly gripped the bedding tightly.

I couldn’t understand why he would bring Elena to see me. What was his purpose?

Elena approached me with a slight smile. “Senior Healer Rivers, I’m very sorry about what happened before.”
