"Dorian, even if you don''t care for her, she''s sacrificed so much for you. Could you at least think about her health for once?"


    Dorian felt a deep ache in his chest. "I do care about her. Actually, I''ve loved Elysia for a long time—I just didn''t realize it myself. I really do care about her."


    He spoke these words softly, unsure whether he was saying them for Amara''s sake or to convince himself.


    Amara shook her head. "No, you don''t. If you truly loved her, you wouldn''t treat her like this. Just go."


    It was the third time she''d told Dorian to leave. Dorian looked at Elysia''s pale face, his heart wrenching with guilt.


    At that moment, a head timidly peeked out from the infusion room. A intive voice called, "Dorian, are you out here?"


    It was Jessica. Amara looked up at her, her gaze dark and intimidating.


    Dorian immediately stood and strode over to Jessica. "Why are you here? You need to leave. Now."


    His voice was sharp, and Jessica''s eyes instantly filled with tears again.


    A vein pulsed in Dorian''s temple. Noticing Amara''s cold stare, he realized he couldn''t stay any longer. "I''m leaving. Stay here with Elysia," he said before walking away. Amara ignored him and turned her head aside.


    Dorian practically dragged Jessica out of the hospital, his face grim and closed off. "Go home. Call yourself a cab," he said, his tone t and unyielding.


    Dorian had never treated her like this before. Whenever she left somewhere, he would always make sure she got home safely-either driving her himself, sending his driver, or at least calling a cab for her. But now, he was just telling her to go, with nothing more.


    This time, Jessica actually started crying.


    If her earlier tears had been for show, these were real.


    "Dorian..." she choked, reaching out to grab the sleeve of his jacket.


    Dorian recoiled as if her touch burned. "Just go," he said, stepping back.


    Without another word, he turned and left.


    He didn''t go back to the hospital-he couldn''t face it. But he didn''t go home, either.


    Feeling utterly miserable, Dorian closed his eyes for a moment, then drove off toward Finnian''s ce.


    About half an hourter, Elysia finally woke up. As she opened her eyes, the memories of what happened before she fainted slowly came back her her eyes trembled as if she might start crying at any moment.


    Amara''s heart ached for her. She asked gently, "Ely, how are you feeling?"


    Elysia turned to look at Amara, and a single tear rolled down her cheek. Amara quickly pulled out some tissues and dabbed her tears away.


    "Are Dorian and Jessica gone?" Elysia asked.


    Amara nodded. "They''re gone. I made them leave."


    Elysia closed her eyes. Right now, she couldn''t stand the thought of seeing either of them. Just thinking about it made her feel sick.


    "Ely, are you

    else?" Amara asked. "I think you had


    had the nurse give you a glucose

    Elysia opened her eyes. "I''m okay. I don''t feel sick anymore. I just... feel really sad."


    With Amara''s help, Elysia slowly sat up, staring nkly ahead for a few moments before saying, "Ama, I want a divorce."


    Amara wasn''t at all surprised. As


    much as Elysia cared for Dorian et


    even her patience had its limits and what Dorran had done today was


    simply too much.  fo
