Raven lowered her voice. “What are you all arguing about out here?”
She nced at the people standing outside and recognized every one of them at a nce.

The moment Olivia saw Raven, she stopped going at the Embers and hurried forward. “Is Tess still unconscious? Can I go in and see her?”
Henry immediately stepped forward too. “I’m going in as well.”
Raven first spoke gently to Olivia. “You can.” Then she turned her head toward Henry, her eyes turning icy. “As for you…”
She looked him up and down, then waved to let the Larsons enter first.
Henry tried to follow them inside, but Raven blocked the doorway.
He red. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Not only did Raven refuse to let them in, but she even pushed them back a step. “Tess needs quiet to recover. I’m afraid seeing you will just make her condition worse.”
Raven curved her lips. “Please be understanding.”
With that, she mmed the door shut,pletely ignoring the three dark faces outside.
From inside, Olivia had watched every move Raven made. Once the door closed, she gave her a thumbs- <ol><li>up. </li></ol>
Raven felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head, but when her eyes fell back on Tess in the bed, her mood sank again.
Olivia, too, noticed the sharp scent of disinfectant in the room.
Tessy on the hospital bed, still deathly pale.
Then Olivia noticed someone sitting at Tess’s side.
Finn looked up at her as well.
“Hello, I’m… Tess’s ex–husband.”
Finn stood and extended his hand, ying the role of a respectful junior.
Olivie
narrowed her eyes, snorted coldly, and turned away, ignoring his outstretched hand.

She had to admit the man looked good and carried himself with an air of privilege. But anyone who’d hurt Tess wasn’t going to look right to her, no matter what.
Finn forced himself to endure Olivia’s undisguised hostility.
Ever since founding Lock Group, he’d rarely been looked at like this.
“Ex–husband…” Benjamin frowned as well. “What are you doing here?”
Hearing that, Abel seemed to find support and stood up too. “Exactly. I don’t get wh thinking, contacting an ex–husband.”
As he spoke, his gaze drifted toward Finn.
Finn pressed his lips together.
His presence alone made the whole room ufortable.
<i>So </i><i>what </i><i>if </i>I’m <i>unwee</i><i>? </i><i>So </i><i>what </i><i>if </i><i>I’m </i><i>hated</i>? <i>I’ll </i><i>wait </i><i>for </i><i>her </i><i>to </i><i>wake </i><i>up</i>.
“Mm…”
A faint sound suddenly broke the tense air.
Lyra, who’d been silent, rushed to Tess’s bedside. “Tess? How do you feel?”
At that, everyone turned their eyes to the bed.
>pital was
Sure enough, the face that had beenpletely still slowly tightened, as if she were in great pain, faint whimpers slipping between her lips.
Tess could hear Lyra calling her, but it was as though she were trapped inside a pure white cage, mist swirling all around.
“Tess, I’m here. I’m your shield. But when I’m gone, you’ll have to rely on yourself.”
Suddenly, warmth brushed the top of her head. In the next instant, she saw Gillian’s faint silhouette, gently patting her hair.
“You have feelings for him? That makes sense. He’s famous in the finance department. A real prodigy. He barely goes to ss now. I heard he even started his ownpany.”
In another scene, Tess walked beside a faceless friend, the two of them blushing as they whispered about a well–known ‘Lock‘ guy at school.
“Tess, I don’t know what you did to make Grandma force me to marry you, but we’re only husband and wife in name. Don’t expect anything else from me.”
On their wedding night, the room felt hollow and empty. The floor–to–ceiling window was spotless, reflecting <b>Tess’s </b>colorless face.

“Whose bastard are you carrying? How shameless. Going after Mr. Lock and still tangled up with your childhood sweetheart.”
Cold wind whistled through the prison window. The tiny square of ss was within reach if she stood, yet Tess huddled in the corner, every limb aching.
“Let’s get divorced.”
“I’ll treat you like my own granddaughter.”
Everything from the past reyed in sharp detail.
Tess drifted through a distant dream of memories.
The happiness was sweet enough to drown in, yet never enough to let her sinkpletely. The pain was terrible enough to make her want to die, yet something always dragged her back.
A single tear slid from the corner of her eye.
Her life had known sweetness, though it was brief and fleeting.
