Chapter 26: Rejection and Confrontation

In the dimly lit hospital ward, I watched Marcus settle into the uncomfortable chair beside Oliver’s bed. The moonlight streaming through the window cast shadows across his sharp features.

This was my chance. My boldest move yet.

“There’s no spare bed for caregivers tonight,” I said softly, moving closer to him. “We’ll have to share the
