Chapter 124: Dangerous Alliances

Chapter 124: Dangerous Alliances

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

After Amber Stone left, I remained motionless for a full minute before taking a deep breath. I knelt beside Marcus with an expressionless face, treating him as an ordinary patient.

I professionally tended to his external injuries. The room fell into complete silence as neither of us spoke.

When I removed the glass shards, I could hear his slightly rapid breathing. He didn’t make a sound despite the pain.

After applying moonlight herb healing salve, I carefully bandaged his wound. My hands moved with practiced precision, wrapping the gauze around his palm.

Marcus stared directly at my face. A faint smile played at the corners of his lips as he asked, “Shall we talk?”

After a few seconds of hesitation, I looked down while packing the medical kit. “No.”

He softly called my name. “Elena.”

The moment I looked up in confusion, he leaned closer. He brushed past my lips like a dragonfly touching water.

I froze instantly. Then I pushed him away and slapped his jaw.

His head turned slightly to the side. He touched the spot I struck, not angry but smiling instead.

“Psycho!” I quickly left the bedroom.

Before I slammed the door shut heavily, I saw Marcus press his bandaged hand to his lips. He was kising the knot I had tied.

(Sophia Rivers’s POV)

When Nathan Sterling returned to the Southern Territory Grand Hotel, he encountered me at the entrance. Seeing me reminded him of our absurd time together in the Northern Territory.

Those things he didn’t want to acknowledge – about Elena’s parents and the car accident. He had thought it would be good for Elena to stay in the Northern Territory, so she would never know what happened.

But unexpectedly, I had come to seek him out.

I turned to look at Nathan, noticing his gloomy expression. I knew he didn’t welcome me, but I wouldn’t compromise.
