Chapter 186: David is Taken Away

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

The nurse couldn’t help but smile as she reminded Marcus, “Alpha, please remember to eat breakfast before your silver purification treatment.”

Marcus responded with a simple “mm” and looked back at me. I deliberately turned my head away, refusing to meet his gaze.

After everyone else left, Lila approached me with curious eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed, studying my face carefully.

Lila’s eyes widened in shock. Her mouth fell open as she processed this revelation.

“He… he just got into your bed without permission?” she stammered.

I nodded, feeling heat rise to my cheeks at the memory. “I was already asleep when he came in.”

Lila was stunned into silence for several moments. Then she shook her head with a mixture of admiration

“My cousin is really shameless when it comes to you,” she muttered.
