Chapter 89: Dangerous Games

(Elena’s POV)

Two days later, I exited the Surgical Wing of the Northern Territory Central Healing Institute. The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the marble floors as I made my toward the main entrance

Looking up, I spotted Nathan Sterling pacing near the revolving door. People flowed around him like water around a stone, but he seemed oblivious to the bustling crowd.

I approached him with curiosity. “Brother Nathan?”

Nathan turned to me, a hint of a smile flickering across his face. “Oh, it’s you.”

“What are you doing standing here?” I asked, noting the restless energy radiating from him.

He avoided my gaze, his amber eyes focusing somewhere over my shoulder. “Waiting for someone.”

h

In truth, he had come to find me. He was unsure of his reasons and worried that I might be avoiding after Marcus’s harsh words the other day.

I chuckled softly. “It doesn’t cost anything to sit in the lobby. You could wait there.”

“I’m too restless to sit.” His gaze briefly flickered toward my abdomen before meeting my eyes again. “How is

your mother?”

1 nodded, touched by his concern. “She’s doing well.”

“About that day…” Nathan began hesitantly, his usual confidence wavering. “I left so suddenly, without saying goodbye to you or your mother. Do you think I’m a bit off?”

I shook my head. “It wasn’t your fault. I didn’t expect Marcus to show up.”

Nathan seemed relieved, his shoulders relaxing slightly. Then his expression grew serious, almost troubled.

“If you ever found out I did something to wrong you, would you cut me off completely?”

I looked puzzled by the strange question. “Have you done something?”

…What if?” he pressed, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Well…” I pondered for a moment, studying his anxious face. “It depends. I’m usually pretty generous. If it’s minor, I can forgive it.”

Nathan smiled without answering, but something dark flickered in his eyes. The question hung in the air

between us like an unspoken confession.

Before leaving, Nathan paused and turned back to me. His playful demeanor had completely vanished, replaced by something deadly serious.

“Oh, and be careful with your stomach.”

I was taken aback by the gravity in his tone. It was a stark contrast to his usual lightheartedness.

Be careful with my stomach? Why would he warn me about that?

Soon after, the warning became a chilling reality.

As I walked through the Medical Center Stairwell during lunch break, the corridor was unusually empty. My footsteps echoed off the concrete walls.

Suddenly, someone pushed me hard from behind.

Caught completely off guard, I tumbled down the stairs. My body hit each step with brutal force, pain shooting through my limbs.

Dazed and disoriented, I lay crumpled on the cold floor. Blood trickled from a cut on my forehead, and my right arm throbbed with agony.

Hospital Cleaner Murphy heard the commotion and rushed over. “Luna Elenal What happened?”

They immediately called for a pack nurse, their voice echoing through the stairwell.

After X–rays at the Imaging Diagnostics Wing, I was diagnosed with a minor fracture in my right arm and a mild concussion. The doctor wrapped my arm in a pristine white cast.

“You’re fortunate it wasn’t worse,” the healer said, reviewing my scans. “But you need complete rest”

Marcus, accompanied by his Elite Guards, emerged from the Steel Ascent and headed straight for th Imaging Diagnostics Wing. His golden eyes were dark with fury when he found me.

I was slowly making my way down the corridor with my medical results, my arm heavy in its cast.

Frowning deeply, he approached me with predatory grace. Before I could say anything, he swept me up into

Embarrassed by the stares of surrounding patients, especially while wearing my white healing coat, I protested weakly. “I’m on duty!”

“You’ve been injured on the job. No more work,” Marcus retorted as he carried me away, his voice brooking no

argument.

The Surgical Department Nurses were stunned to see Marcus carrying me through the corridors. I could hear their whispered conversations trailing behind us.

In their minds, Sophia was still Marcus’s “true mate,” and the rumors of me being the “other woman” resurfaced with renewed vigor.
