Rhea went to Darin’s ward, but upon seeing Marcus, she quickly stepped back and hid.


    “If you truly despise her, don’t cancel the engagement,” Marcus dered before striding out of the


    ward.


    Darin’s brow furrowed. What did Marcus mean? He harbored such hatred for Rhea, so why couldn’t he


    cancel the engagement? But after pondering for a moment, he understood.


    Once she was certain Marcus had entered the elevator, Rhea emerged from her hiding ce.


    What was Marcus’ purpose in seeing Darin?

    There hadn’t seemed to be a significant fight between them. Why hadn’t Marcus killed Darin in a fit of


    rage?


    With a feeling of unease, Rhea entered the ward.


    At that moment, Darin was leaning against the headboard, his eyes closed in fatigue.

    “Darin.” Rhea approached the bedside.


    He opened his eyes and stared at Rhea for a few seconds before he spoke.


    “My mom said you wouldn’t be back here. Why have you returned?”


    Darin’s tone was weak and cold.


    “Yesterday, I spoke in anger. Your mother was quite displeased with me, and in my fury, I said those


    words,” Rhea exined.


    “Really?”


    Darin’s eyes narrowed, unable to match the person before him with the innocent girl he once knew.


    What had turned her so deceitful?


    Though Darin’s gaze appeared weak, Rhea felt a pang of guilt as she caught his gaze.


    “Of course. Don’t overthink it. I’ve had time to reflect, and I came to see you again right away.”


    Rhea sensed something was off about the situation, but she was relieved when Darin managed to


    smile and took her hand.


    “That’s wonderful. I’m d you’ve thought it over, Rhea. Our wedding date is approaching. When will


    you choose a wedding dress?”


    Rhea’s eyes widened in shock.


    What did he mean? Hadn’t his mother told him about the canceled engagement?


    “You seem distressed. Are you all right?” Darin asked.


    “Didn’t your mother tell you that I want to cancel the engagement?


    You’ll be in a wheelchair from now on. I can’t marry you. We need to call off the engagement,” Rhea


    said, pulling her hand away and stepping back.
