Chapter 263

Audrey’s POV

I sat on the rusty hospital bed in the abandoned clinic, watching the ocean through broken windows. The sea breeze carried salt and memories, making this forgotten place feel strangely like home.

My phone felt heavy in my hand as I dialed Felix.

“Audrey?” His voice came through immediately. “Where the hell are you?”

“Somewhere quiet.”

“Dr. Evans said you vanished.” Worry sharpened his tone. “You can’t just disappear like this. Not in your condition.”

I traced a finger along the peeling paint beside me. “My illness isn’t going anywhere, Felix. Whether I stay put or not… does it matter? Just take care of Rachel for me.”

“Are you serious right now?” His voice rose. “My grandfather might have options for you. Experimental treatments. Something. By running away, you’re throwing everything away!

“Come back, please” he demanded.

I sighed. “Dr. Clarke came to New York because of Mayo Clinic. Dr. Evans is his friend. If I return, I’ll have to face her. I’m

not ready for that yet.”

The line went quiet before Felix spoke again, softer now. “I could find you somewhere they won’t look. Just come back,

okay?”

“Let me think first.” I ended the call and turned off my phone.

The silence felt good. I leaned back, letting my thoughts settle. Dr. Evans had been my doctor, my protector – she’d even canceled vacation to care for me. But she’d also used me, letting Laurel Rose pretend to have my illness while knowing

how that woman treated me.

I moved to the window, looking out at the familiar shore. Five years ago, I’d cared for Blake here when he couldn’t see or recognize me. In this very room, he gave me his mother’s pendant – my most treasured possession until I learned how
