Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 129: Endure The Pain For Now

I rested my head on Mason's shoulder as he gently stroked my hair, trying to ease my pain. But I had to stay strong. That's what Evangeline would want. I had to find who did this.

No, Sapphire-I already knew who did.

"Can you stay with her for a bit-"

"Where is she?"

I stopped mid-sentence as Haze arrived. He looked like he hadn't slept but had come immediately, asking for Evangeline.

I wondered if Mason had called him or if he'd learned the news himself since we were in his hospital.

"There," I replied, pointing toward the operating room.

Haze brushed his hair back and bit his lower lip, as though deep in thought.

"Damn it, what the hell are you two doing? Why is your life in danger now? Did you really think I wouldn't find out that your car exploded too?"

"What the fuck?" Mason's eyes bore into mine as he heard Haze's words. His brows furrowed, his disbelief written all over his face.

That was why I called Luna to clean up the mess quickly. But Haze, sharp as always, still managed to catch wind of it. I knew he'd been suspicious for a while now.

He's aware there's more to Senator Windwood's death than meets the eye.

He didn't look like the Haze I knew. His brows were furrowed, and one brow was arched skeptically at me. His usual lighthearted demeanor was replaced with a dark, melancholic aura.

His concern was obvious, especially as his gaze drifted toward the operating room.

"I just didn't think it was necessary," I replied, brushing back my hair. "What matters is that I survived-"
