Chapter 328


    Brodie could sense the inevitableing. There was a hint of concern in his voice. “Aren’t you


    afraid of facing even greater dangers back home?”


    ra shook her head with resolve, her voice steady. “I won’t let Sasha bear the consequences for


    me alone. I owe it to her to seek justice.”


    Brodie had known ra’s temperament since they were kids. She was usually gentle and


    compliant, but once her dander was up, nobody could hold her back.


    He let out a resigned sigh, “Alright then. Let’s get you to the hospital.”


    Two hourster, ra pushed open the door to Sasha’s hospital room. Instead of finding Sasha, her


    gaze fell upon Ian’s tall, lean figure.


    His face was pale, and his eyes were sunken. There was a look of unprecedented concern etched


    between his noble brows.


    He walked over to ra and wrapped his arms around her, his voice a whisper of velvet


    tenderness. “Don’t worry. Sasha’s out of danger. It’s just a broken leg.”


    ra, taken aback, questioned, “Wasn’t it said she was in aa?”


    Ian leaned down, nting a soft kiss on her forehead. His voice was raspy with emotion. “I’m sorry,


    ra. I couldn’t let you leave alone with our child, the fruit of our love, the result of sleepless nights


    of passion. You can’t do this to me.”


    It was only then that ra realized she had been yed by Ian. He had spread fake news just to


    force her back.


    Tears clouded ra’s vision as she looked at him. Her voice was shaking uncontrobly. “Ian, do


    you realize that it should have been me lying here? They were after my life and our child’s.”


    “I know, and I’ve got people on it. We’ll have answers soon. This time, no matter who it is, I won’t let


    them get away,” Ian assured her while gently rubbing her back.


    His heart was still in a vice grip. The thought of what could have happened to ra was too much


    to bear.


    It’s such a violent strike, and the chances of their child surviving were next to nothing. If anything


    had happened to their child, he knew there would be no reconciliation with ra.


    He whispered a solemn vow into her ear, “ra, I’ll protect you and our child. If you want to leave,


    I’ll give up everything here and take you away. Just let me take care of you both, okay?”

    Faced with his earnest plea, ra’s heart softened. She sniffled and managed to say, “Let’s talk


    about uster. For now, take me to see Sasha.”


    “Anything, as long as you two stay,” Ian said, with a faint smile finally gracing his lips as he took


    ra’s hand and led her to another room.


    Therey Sasha, propped up in bed. Her right leg was encased in a cast, and her head was


    wrapped in gauze. Despite her injuries, the fire in her dark eyes hadn’t dimmed. She red at


    Chase. “Just seeing your face makes my wounds throb. Get out.”


    Chase let out a halfugh, half-snort. “All this over a misunderstanding about a pregnancy? I


    already apologized, didn’t I?”


    “Is it really about the apology? It’s about the prejudices you hold deep down. You think our line of


    work is dirty. Chase, what do you think you are? You flirt around with every nurse in this ce,”


    Sasha snapped back.


    Chase smirked, “Jealous?”


    “Jealous my foot! Who you sleep with is none of my business!”


    Their argument escted when they turned and saw ra and Ian standing at the doorway.


    Sasha’s eyes widened in disbelief. “ra, you finally got away. Why on earth did youe back?”
