Chapter 99
Felicia noslied to Owen’s bedside. Tears spilled down her face like a broken string of pearls. “Owen, wake up. Look at me, it’s Mom… I’m right here..” she cried.
After a long while, she finally tumed her tear–filled eyes toward Kylie and asked, “What the hell happened? Why is owen like this?”
Hm Bony… Mis Lloyd, Pin so sorry, kylie choked out, guilt written all over her face. At that miniment, she would’ve traded places with him if she could. “He hit trying to save the. None of this would’ve happened if it weren’t fot me
“Why?” Felicia shouted, her eyes burning into Kylie with pore rage. The moment she realized Owen had nearly died for Kylie, any trace of warmth that Felicia had
“Was the crash an accident of something else?” she demanded and shot a sharp planer at Sammel,
Samuel stood tall, perfectly composed inhisariq, custom–made white shirt and tailored slacks. Young, yes commanding presence that exuded
whority. He didn’t need to speak to make people feel the weight of him in the room.
Kylie pressed her lips together and truthfully answered, “The driver who hit him was poisoned in prison. So yes, it was premeditated. But we haven’t found out who’s behind it yet.
“Premeditated?” Felicia’s eyes widened in shock. Her blood pressure surged, and her hands trembled.
And then–without waming she slapped Kylte across the face
It had come out of nowhere, and not even Samael had time to stop it.
Kylie’s head jerked to the side
Het cheek stung, hot and sharp.
“Logan!” Samuel’s voice was thick with tury. “Get this woman-
“Don’t “Kylie quickly cut him off. “11 Owen hadn’t saved me, I’d be dead. A slap doesn’t even begin to cover that.”
Felicia then tumed her anger toward Samuel. “What are you to her?”
“We’re nothing,” Kylie said at the same time Samuel answered, “She’s my fiancée.”
The contradiction bung heavy in the atr
Feliciasneered. “You have a fiancé, and you’re still chasing after my son? What kind of woman are you?”
“I didn’t—I’m sorry… Kylie didn’t eventry to defend herself.
All she could do was apologize, and it still didn’t feel like it was enough. Gulit wracked every nerve in her body.
This wasn’t just pain—it was shame.
Fricia wasn’t done. She continued, “Back at the sanctuary, Owen told me he liked you. I thought it was just a childish crush. After we immigrated, he finally seemed to let go. But I never thought he’d run into you again here in Seaville.
“He came back saying he wanted to propose. I didn’t agree, but he was so determined that I eventually gave in. The Lloyd family isn’t filthy rich, but we’re not pobodies rither. You an orphan raised in a sanctuary–and this is how you repay him?
“I’ve heard stories – you’re bad luck Everyone you get close to ends up dead. And now, you’re coming for my son? it anything happens to him, I swear to God, I’ll take you pay with your litr…..”
“Shut your mouth!” Samuel’s voler cut through the room like a blade.
But Felicia had lost all seme of reason. Pain and rage had swallowed her whole. “* saw what she did to my son! If you keep defending her, one day she’ll destroy
“Logan!” Samuel’s
el’s te dropped to a level of cold that froze the room. His eyes locked onto Felicia. “Get her out of here. And unless I personally say otherwise- sie durui’t step foot in this hospital again.”
“You -I” Felicia pesped. “Who do you think you are? Do you think you own this hospital?”
