Chapter 226

Blake’s POV

I watched Laurel’s face pale in the moonlight as my proposal sank in. She swallowed hard before speaking.

‘Blake darling, I don’t want this,” she said, voice barely above a whisper.

“I know,” I cut in. ‘You don’t want people finding out the Rose family lied for four years.

I kept my voice level. ‘But my medical team is already on their way. These specialists aren’t just coming for you. They’re experts in waking vegetative patients the same team that woke me.”

*Is having Audrey wheel Rachel to our engagement a condition?” Her voice grew firmer. “If I refuse, you won’t go through with it?”

I looked away. “If you reject this, I’ll wait until you’re ready.”

Her body stiffened, hands clenching into fists, knuckles white.

“Is this Audrey’s idea?” she asked bitterly. “Does she want to take care of Rachel?”

“Really?” Laurel forced a smile through obvious pain. “Blake darling, I’ve been waiting to marry you five years ago.”

Her voice trembled. “Now I’m dying, and I know you probably don’t want to marry me. I just wanted our engagement. Even for that simple wish, you’re using it to please Audrey.”
