Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Lied

Louis’s POV

Before either of them could question me, I established a mind link, reaching for Lennox. His presence was there—distant, muffled, locked away. I pressed harder, shoving past the haze, forcing the link open.

"Lennox!"

Nothing. Just a heavy wall. He was trying to shut me out, dousing himself in his pain.

I pushed harder. Damn it, don’t do this.

"Leave me alone," his voice finally came through, hoarse and flat. I felt him trying to sever the connection.

Panic shot through me. "Wait! Don’t cut me off!" My voice cracked with panic, rawer than I meant.

That froze him for a beat.

"What’s wrong?" His tone sharpened instantly, and just like that, I felt his pain shoved aside. That was Lennox—no matter how broken he was, the second he thought someone else needed him, he forgot himself.

I swallowed, hating what I was about to do. "It’s Levi," I said, forcing a tremor into my voice. "He... he fainted."

The silence that followed was sharp. Then his growl cut through the link. "Louis. Is this a joke?"

I clenched my jaw, acting the part. "Do I sound like I’m joking? He and Olivia had a fight. A bad one. She told him... she told him she’d reject him." I let my voice falter, shaky. "And after that... he collapsed. He’s not waking up."
