The noise reached Saul's ears, and he burst into the room, his expression cold, his body radiating hostility. But when his eyes landed on Corrine, his whole demeanor faltered. It It was as though he'd been struck by lightning—his expression stiffened, his throat dry, and his words cout in a stammer. "Miss... Miss Holland..." Moments later, Matias stumbled into the room. His shock was palpable, leaving him momentarily speechless. Corrine looked at them, a sardonic smile tugging at her lips.

"So, none of you are dead, then?” she remarked, her voice dripping with irony.

Inside, Nate sat propped up in bed, an IV needle in his hand, the drip steadily feeding him. He was dressed in a hospital gown, his long fingers skillfully buttoning it up.

Yet, Corrine's sharp eyes didn't miss the white bandages wrapped around him.

The bandages extended from his shoulder to his waist, a common method, but they were stained with fresh blood, bright against the white fabric.

His face was pale too, exhaustion clinging to him like a second skin.

"If I hadn't cback, how long did you plan on keeping this from me?" Corrine's voice was steady, but her eyes betrayed the storm of displeasure brewing within her.
