The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 390

Vivienne entered the hospital ward, leaving Percival waiting outside, seated opposite Jasper and Yuri.

Jasper and Yuri exchanged brief pleasantries with Percival before disengaging, preferring to keep to themselves.

Ancient warrior lineages typically remained out of the public eye, drawing income from their corporate ventures or offering highly sought-after security services at exorbitant prices.
