Chapter 164: I’m Sorry, I Let You Down
(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

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.

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

Marcus watched my serious explanation with those intense golden eyes. After a moment, he responded with
a simple acknowledgment.
“I understand.”
