Chapter 50: Save Me

Lennox's POV

While everyone seemed to be buzzing around me, worried, whispering, asking questions, my eyes were only on Olivia, who was leaving the yard.

I couldn't believe what she did back then in the woods. It was without fear, without hesitation, something Anita failed to do.

I heard Anita sniff behind her, still crying silently, but I didn't look at her. My gaze was locked on Olivia again, who was almost out of sight.

"Who did it?" the healer asked, still examining the wound.

"Olivia," I said flatly.

The healer glanced up and gave a curt nod of approval. "She saved his life. Good instincts, fast hands. She must've known exactly what she was doing."

And for the first time in a long time, I felt something twist in my chest. Shame… and maybe something else. Perhaps pride… as a memory replayed in my head.
