"Let her run,"he said with a sneer."You know how she is—give her a couple of days and she’ll come crawling back,begging for forgiveness.This time,she’s the one in the wrong.I’m done bending over backwards for her.She’s gone now and that means it’s just us."
Winona turned around with a smug smile and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"But what if she doesn’t come back?"she teased.
Lennon scoffed,his voice laced with disdain."She’s tainted—used up by random guy and disgraced in front of the entire city.Who would want her now,besides me?"
Then he leaned in and kissed her.
When I woke up,Lucan took me to the hospital for a full medical exam.
The process was long and draining.I sat quietly,legs swinging from the exam table,while the doctor reviewed the results.His expression darkened as he read.
"Ms.Evans condition is concerning,"he said,voice serious."Aside from the expected post-abortion weakness,she’s severely malnourished.There are early signs of anemia."
As he spoke,Lucan’s face hardened with every word.His hands clenched into fists,knuckles turning bone-white.
"What about past injuries?"he asked tightly.
The doctor paused,hesitating as his eyes flicked to me for permission.
