Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 910: Can you... erase her from my mind?

Meanwhile...

Not making it to the fan club reunion wasn't in Cassandra's plan. She wanted to go simply because she longed to see some old friends she hadn't seen in a while. Although she could always meet up with them, it was difficult to coordinate schedules when everyone was available.

Seated in the chair beside the bed in a private ward half an hour away from the Summit School of Excellence, Cassandra stared at the man lying on the bed.

"Finn," she called quietly, watching his eyelashes flutter weakly, slowly opening. "Why are you doing this to me?"

Finn still had an oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth. He blinked weakly, turning his head in her direction. It wasn't that he hadn't regained consciousness, but he was resting a bit, as no words had been exchanged between them.

Ever since Cassandra was called to this place, told about Finn's condition and current situation, she hadn't thought twice about rushing to his side. Yet, even after hearing the doctor's reminders and "good news," nothing had been said between Finn and Cassandra.
