“It’s none of your concern even if I die!” Melvin glared at her, his eyes red with anger. “You’d probably prefer it that way. Once I’m gone, you can live happily ever after with him.”

Jocelyn’s brow furrowed. That’s a separate issue”

To me, it’s the same thing.” Melvin scoffed. Go be devoted to him. I don’t need your pretense.”

The nurse, catching the tense exchange, interrupted, “Whatever is going on, could you just appease him for now? He still has a fever. Leaving the hospital is suicide.
