Chapter 478: Refused

Levi’s POV

I stood my ground even as Olivia’s glare burned holes through me.

The witch shifted uneasily beside her, the bowl trembling in her hands.

"I said no," I repeated, my voice like stone. "You’re done with this, Olivia."

She clenched her jaw. "You don’t get to decide that for me."

"I do when your life is on the line!" I shot back. "When our child’s life is on the line!"

Her lips trembled. "You think I don’t know that? You think I don’t feel it?" Her hand went to her stomach. "But if I stop now, he’ll die, Levi. He’ll die, and I’ll never forgive myself."

My patience cracked. "And if you keep going, you’ll die!"

The words came out louder than I meant. Everyone froze.

Even Lennox’s shallow breathing seemed to pause.

Olivia’s frown deepened, but she refused to look away. "Then let me die with purpose."

Something inside me snapped.

"Purpose?" I barked, taking a step closer. "You call throwing your life away for him purpose? You call risking our child love?" My voice broke at the end, anger blurring into pain. "You’re killing yourself for a ghost, Olivia! He’s not here anymore. I am! We are!"

The silence that followed was deafening.
