She could barely believe the audacity of his words. He kept saying he would never disappoint her again when he had already disappointed her so many times she had lost count.
And worst of all—
He had left her to die.
The thought alone made her feel like she was losing her mind.
“You need to stop this!” she snapped hysterically.
Elias stared at her in confusion, completely stunned.
“What are you talking about?” he asked immediately, his brows furrowing deeply. “What do you mean you lost your life?”
His voice turned anxious.
“What happened, Amara?”
But she said nothing.
Her fingers slowly loosened from his collar before she shoved him away from her completely. Elias fell back against the bed while Amara climbed off him at once.
She grabbed her purse from the table beside the hospital bed and stormed toward the door with furious steps. The sharp sound of her heels echoed through the hallway even after she disappeared from sight.
Elias remained frozen on the bed in shock.
His breathing was uneven as confusion filled his face.
He had thought Amara was simply angry and that once her temper cooled down, they would eventually remarry.
But this—
This no longer looked like anger.
It had become something far darker, something he couldn’t even recognize anymore.
Amara had never looked at him this way before.
In the past, every time she got upset with him, he could calm her down with gifts, affection, or a few soft words.
But now it felt as though none of those things mattered anymore.
He had never imagined that after the divorce, the woman who once loved him so deeply would look at him like there was nothing left between them at all.
Now she looked at him like he was her enemy.
Like he had destroyed something inside her that could never be repaired again.
The realization left him shaken.
For the first time in his life, Elias truly felt like he was losing everything he had.
His chest felt painfully tight, as if his heart was slowly being crushed into pieces.
Just then, the hospital room door opened again.
Footsteps echoed inside the room.
Elias instantly lifted his head, hope flashing across his face.
