Chapter 880

The doctor looked worn out. After putting away the equipment, he slipped out of the room without another word.

Clara sat by the bed, her eyes lingering on the man lying there. Something in her chest twisted painfully.

His gaze was distant and empty, like something inside him had just collapsed, leaving nothing but silence behind.

Clara's heart clenched. She squeezed his hand harder. "Dylan?”

He didn't seem to hear her. Instead, he tried to sit up.

Clara pressed him back down. "You're hurt. You need to rest, okay?"

Frustration surged through her. Without thinking, she gave him a quick, sharp chop to the side of his neck.

His eyes fluttered, then rolled back. He passed out cold.

Clara sank back into the chair beside him. She wasn't sure how long she sat there, lost in a fog of exhaustion, before her phone finally rang.
