Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 97

"I'm exhausted." Serena's voice was icy as she spoke. "Please, leave."

With that, she wrapped her blanket tightly around herself, turning away from Aaron, leaving only her back visible. It was clear she had no desire to continue the conversation.

Aaron rubbed his temples in frustration. He could avoid seeing Cynthia Lynwood from now on, but he couldn't break his promise. He needed to figure out how to ensure Cynthia was taken care of properly.

"Alright, I'm leaving then."

Aaron stepped out of the hospital room, gently closing the door behind him. Once the sound of footsteps faded completely, Serena turned her gaze towards the door.

Just then, there was a knock.

Serena frowned, irritated. "Didn't I say I wanted to sleep?"

The door swung open, and William, seated in a wheelchair, rolled into the room. "For someone who's supposedly ready to sleep, you sound quite energetic. It seems like you've been doing well while Miss Sullivan was missing."

Serena was surprised to see William. "Mr. Grayson, you're still in Alderburg?"
