“Yes, I’ve completely lost my mind,” Hailey said, looking at him with a cold expression. “From today on, I’m Hailey Dalton, not Henderson. I’ve never been a Henderson, and I never will be.

“I won’t go back with you. I’ve always respected you as my father, and I didn’t want to bring shame to you. But you never considered me. You’ve done everything in your power to separate us.”

Hailey’s eyes reddened. “I’ve hurt him enough for you, for the family. I can’t do that again. Father, at the end of the day, we’re just connected by blood. You never raised me, and you have no right to control my life.”

Finley froze, looking stunned, as if at a loss for words.

Hailey bit her lip, a flicker of guilt crossing her heart, but this time, she had to choose Owen.

Owen had nearly given his life for her, and she owed him too much.

Finley sighed deeply, as though his heart had been shattered. “If you insist on this, I can’t say anything. If that’s the path you choose, then walk it.”

Hailey lowered her eyes, closing them in resignation.

Finley glanced at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only sighed and walked out of the room.

The room fell silent again.

Hailey slowly took a deep breath and walked to the window, opening it to let in some fresh air.

She didn’t notice, but the man lying on the bed shifted slightly, his fingers twitching ever so slightly. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

The man who had been in a coma for a month finally regained consciousness.

He turned his head slightly, his blurry vision catching the slender figure of the woman standing by the window.

A single tear slid down Owen’s cheek.

Hailey turned back around, her eyes widening. The tears that had just calmed now began to fall again.

After about half an hour of medical exams, Hailey returned to the room to find Owen unconscious again.

His back had healed quite a bit, but the scars remained.

Lying flat wasn’t an issue anymore.
