Chapter 296

Marvin

I took the elevator to the top floor and found my way to Tiago’s recovery room. “Leave,” I told the maid guarding the door. Her lips trembled in fear. “Sir, your mother gave us instructions to-”

“Do I look like my mother?”

The woman shook her head vigorously and walked away without saying another word. I didn’t want to be like this, but I was doing it for Tiago I was doing it, so I didn’t have to lose him.

He sounded pathetic, and I felt sorry for him. I didn’t want it to be like this. “It smells like someone died in here. Please take a shower.”

“Anya died.”
