CHAPTER 62 A Sight of Horror

  Brett's POV

  Leaning in, my fingertips brushed against her cheek, now cool to the touch. As my lips grazed her forehead, I whispered a silent apology, hoping that even in her unconscious state, she could somehow feel the weight of my remorse. It was a bittersweet moment, knowing that my gesture held both an apology and an acknowledgment of the love that still dwelled within me despite the harrowing circumstances.

  Slowly stepping back, my eyes lingered on her peaceful expression, marred only by the remnants of tears on her delicate lashes. With each passing moment, a mix of emotions and thoughts waged a battle within me. The room felt suffocating as guilt, regret, and the sting of betrayal hung heavy in the air. I knew I needed to give her the space she deserved, a chance to heal and find solace in her own time.
