I thought Mom and Dad had predicted this. Simon would give in to Laila’s confession for him and break our mate bond.
After all, he’d broken our mind–link when he started getting closer to Laila a year ago. I supposed that he must’ve wanted to
break our bond.
Little did I expect him to turn down Laila’s confession.
“Stop bringing this up! My mate will only be Zora. I’ll go check on her and see if she’s awake.”
He entered my ward, but I was nowhere to be seen. He immediately stopped Healer Petra and asked, “Where’s Zora? She’s just donated a kidney. Why isn’t she in her ward?”
Stunned, Healer Petra replied, “Was it the one who donated her kidney earlier? She died during surgery.”
Simon froze. He couldn’t believe his ears. “What did you say?”
Healer Petra repeated herself. After pondering for a while, she added, “Originally, I wanted to inform you guys after the surgery,
but you didn’t seem to care about her at all. You all left with another patient.”
Simon staggered backward, struggling to regain his balance.
“No way! This can’t be real,” he sputtered.
He turned and headed for the operating room, but there was no one inside. He searched high and low, then finally found me in the
morgue.
