"You're nothing but a servant. Who gave you permission to leave your post? I haven't taken my pills yet. Where did you disappear As the nurse began stammering another explanation, I pushed the door open.

"Sean... my nescaped her lips in a breathless whisper.

I took in the scene with detached interest. A makeup bag lay overturned on the floor, its contents scattered across the pristine tiles. The nurse stood pressed against the wall, visibly relieved by my interuption.

Christina's hands fluttered nervously to her hair, smoothing the perfectly styled waves before attempting to rise gracefully from the bed. Her hospital gown had been replaced with an expensive silk nightdress-clearly brought from hfor this performance.

"Sean, you finally cto see me? Tears welled in her eyes with practiced precision. "I've been waiting for you all day." She glided toward me, her stance softening into one of delicate fragility.

Nothing happened betweenand that bartender. The video was a setup." I felt my lips curve into a slight smile but offered no response as I walked to the armchair by the window and sat down. Honestly, I 1/3 Chapter 188: The Final Debt couldn't care less who she had slept with, Christina hurried after me, clearly unsettled by my silence. "You don't believe me?" I poured myself a glass of mineral water, still maintaining my "Where did you go last night?" she asked, settling into the chair opposite mine. "I waited for your call all night." She bit her er lower lip, coated with pale pink lipstick. "You went to see Angela, didn't you? I understand you might still have feelings for her, but she hunt you live years ago, Even if you te reconnecting dow, she'll eventually leave you again, just like before. I'm different, Sean. You're all I care about. Not only will I never leave you, but I saved your life," I took a slow sip of water, watching her over the tim of the glass.

"At least believefor the sake of what I did for you," she continued her voice rising with desperation. "That day on the yacht, the water was freezing.
