Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 460

Chapter 460 Stay With Him

I heard footsteps approaching, my heart leaping in my chest as I rushed forward. “Doctor, how is Jasper? Is he… okay?”

Caden remained by the wall, his posture stiff, his gaze sewhere.

The doctor’s shoulders relaxed, and his voice softened. You can breathe easy now. The surgery went well. We got to him in time. The shotgun pellets, though there were plenty, didn’t hit any critical organs. They’ve all been removed. He’s lucky–good physical condition, especially as the heir. He’ll need a couple of months to fully recover. No stress, no heavy activity. He’ll stay here for now, make sure everything heals right. Once the wounds are fully closed, he’ll be good to go, but he’ll need rest, lots of it.”

I exhaled, feeling the weight lift off me. “Thank you, doctor. I understand.”

He gave a small smile and waved it off. “Don’t mention it. He’s resting now, so keep the noise down. We don’t want to disturb him.” “Of course. Thanks again.”

I watched the doctor leave, my chest still tight, but the relief flooding in slowly.

For a moment, a sharp fear had clenched my chest. If Jasper hadn’t made it … if his life had been stolen because of me… the guilt, the weight of that, would’ve been a burden I couldn’t bear.

Caden’s POV:

I kept my eyes on Rosaline, searching for any sign that she’d relaxed, that the tension had lifted. When I saw her finally let out a breath, I felt the tightness in my chest loosen, but the storm inside me didn’t pass. I clenched my jaw and turned my gaze away, emotions flooding me in a rush I couldn’t control.
