The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 589

Chapter 579 You Break It, You Nurse It 2

But Silas was a master of language.

Faced with Tessa’s attempt to decline, he had her cornered with just two words: “compensate” and “responsibility.”

“If Victor’s wound hadn’t been reopened, he probably would’ve been healed by now.”

And just like that, Tessa had nothing left to say.

The way Silas put it… well, it really was her fault. She couldn’t deny it.

In the end, Silas walked off.

Finished

Tessa stood nervously at the door to Victor’s room. The door was open. He was sitting on the bed, on the phone.

She had no idea who was on the other end, but his face was cold and lethal as he said one single word: “Eliminate.”

That word alone was chilling.

He didn’t need to explain–Tessa understood exactly what he meant.

If the target was a person, then that person wasn’t going to see the sunrise.

Just like that, the safe, stable world she knew was gone. Now, lives were paper–thin. Her heart twisted at the realization.

And for the first time, it hit her clearly: this was going to be her new reality.

Victor ended the call.

When he looked up, she was still standing in the doorway like a mouse, gripping the doorframe with pale fingers.

“Come in.”

His voice was flat and emotionless.

Tessa snapped out of it and looked over at him. He was shirtless, his firm chest wrapped tightly with gauze to stop the bleeding.

Rubbing her hands nervously, she stepped cautiously into the room.

For the past few days, she’d done everything she could to avoid Victor–on Stella’s advice, of course.

She hadn’t had a choice.

Every time she got near him, she made a mess.
