Chapter 181: The Whitmore Family’s Daughter

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Amber Stone and I walked outside the recovery chamber when Victoria Blackwood suddenly emerged from behind the door. Her presence caught me off guard, and I straightened instinctively.

Amber immediately bowed her head respectfully. “Lady Blackwood.”

Victoria’s sharp gaze swept over me, her expression unreadable. “Amber must have told you about Marcus’s

situation.”

I remained silent, unsure how to respond to this woman who had never shown me anything but cold disapproval.

“I don’t care what you think in your heart,” Victoria continued, her voice clipped and businesslike. “I hope you

can keep him company.”

Her words stung more than I expected. Even now, facing her son’s potential death, she couldn’t bring herself

to speak to me with genuine warmth.

Before I could formulate any response, Victoria adjusted her designer handbag and walked away. Her heels

clicked against the polished floor with military precision.

Amber cleared her throat softly. “Luna, I need to brief you on Marcus’s care routine.”

She handed me a detailed schedule outlining medication times, dietary restrictions, and warning signs to

watch for. The clinical nature of it all made my chest tighten.
