The hospital corridor was a hive of activity.

A wave of fear washed over Sonia when she saw Alex’s stoic face, and she held back the words on the verge of her lips. It was the first time she had witnessed such fury in Alex, his intimidating presence keeping others at bay.

“No one needs you to be fair,” Alex sharply dismissed. His expression was icy, the darkness in his eyes and the tightly pressed lips betrayed his foul mood. His attitude was unmistakably callous.
