Chapter 164: I’m Sorry, I Let You Down

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

I faced Marcus Blackwood’s deep golden eyes and froze momentarily. The dim light cast shadows across his

pale features, making him look more vulnerable than I’d ever seen him.

As I was about to get up from the bedside chair, his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist. His grip was weak

but desperate.

“Elena,” he called my name softly.

I quickly pulled my hand away and explained, “I was only helping you turn off the light. Don’t overthink it.“.

My voice came out sharper than intended. “I came to see you only because we were in the same car during

the accident. If you died, I wouldn’t be able to explain to the Blackwood family.”

Marcus watched my serious explanation with those intense golden eyes. After a moment, he responded with

a simple acknowledgment.

“I understand.”

Then his voice dropped to barely a whisper. “I’m sorry, I let you down.”

I was stunned and stared at him. “What do you
