Lucian took a deep breath, shaking his head.
He gave up. There was no point in making up more reasons and lies. It was over.
Taking a step forward toward Rose's bed, he pushed all the worries to the back of his mind. Worrying wouldn't change anything now.
It is what it is.
At the very least, he could ask her one last time before everything collapsed.
Lucian could see how Rose was avoiding looking in his direction, her focus entirely on Olivia.
He clenched his jaw, tilting his head slightly, a sad smile forming.
So, you remember everything, huh? And now you won't even look at me?
She's afraid of me.
Lucian thought as he observed her behavior, confirming his fears. She was actively avoiding his gaze. Was she going to tell Mother and everyone what he had done?
Rose's body trembled slightly as she heard his footsteps approaching. She took a deep breath, and then
She suddenly turned away from Olivia and met his eyes.
