Chapter 153:

Elyse noticed a marked change in Mabel’s demeanor. It seemed she’d truly learned a lesson from Theo’s actions. Coldly staring at Theo, Elyse questioned, “Mr. Ward, why are you tormenting my sister like this? She’s done nothing to you. Why bully her?”

Draped in a hospital gown, Theo still maintained an air of handsomeness and grace. “She volunteered,” he stated. “Claimed she’d do anything to be with me.”

Elyse’s dissatisfaction was palpable. “So you plan to kill her and take her heart?”

Theo dismissed her accusation with a wave of his hand. “You’ve got it all wrong again. She’s the one who professed her affection for me. I merely sought proof of her feelings. She insisted her heart held all the answers and that I occupied it alone.”
