Chapter 379

Tarquin was at a loss, his feelings a mix of concern and frustration.

"Look, don't freak out. We're in Elijah's hospital room. You passed out from getting all worked up, so I carried you back here. I swear I didn't do anything inappropriate. I just wanted to check your injuries," Tarquin tried to explain, his voice a blend of reassurance and slight impatience.

Elysia, however, wasn't having any of it. She clutched the collar of her hospital gown defensively, eyeing him with a mix of suspicion and downright fear.

Her demeanor was as tense as it had been during the altercation earlier. It was clear she was on edge.

Tarquin couldn't help but feel both heartache and helplessness at her reaction. "I'd never hurt you, you know. You don't have to be on guard around me. How are you feeling? Anything out of sorts? Should I get a doctor to check on you?"
