Chapter 484

Isadora cleared her throat softly and brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I'm... feeling much better," she murmured.

Victor didn't say a word. He reached for her other leg and gently placed it across his lap, continuing to massage her calf.

It was almost as if he'd been waiting right outside the door.

Isadora bit her lip, a peculiar warmth and ache blossoming in her chest.

She started to get out of bed, but Victor gently stopped her. "Where are you going?"
