Chapter 21
Evelyn’s POVThe coldness of the hospital sheets was nothing compared to the weight in my chest. The blinding white ceiling was a poor replacement for the stars I used to love watching. And the silence around me? Deafening.I could hear them outside my door—nurses whispering, a trolley being pushed down the corridor, a faint ring of a phone somewhere down the hall. But none of it mattered.I was awake. Alive. And yet… I felt like I hadn’t fully returned. I tried to remember the last thing that happened to me. My eyes opened wide when I did. I should be dead but somehow I miraculously escaped. How come? My body still ached with an invisible pressure, like I’d been swimming through concrete for weeks. My fingers twitched against the sheets as I slowly curled and uncurled them, a grim reminder that I was still here. Still waiting.And Klaus hadn’t come.The one person who should have been here when I opened my eyes.I turned my head slightly, ignoring the dizziness that followed. On t

Klaus’s POVThe vase shattered against my temple before I even realized what was happening.Glass fragments exploded in a burst of pain, and a trickle of blood slid warm and slowed down the side of my face.

Klaus's pov As I walked out of the hospital, I could hear her sob and her words of regret. I clenched my hands and decided to pay Felix a visit. I knew I was not going to win the fight but I was going to throw every damn punch in his way. As I opened the exit game driving back towards the university ground. My phone pinged and I saw it was a message from Jordan. I was too angry to look it up. Too pissed to check what he has sent to me. A part of me wished I had given Evelyn the portion to drink. It was just Jordan's fingers but she was going to be stuck on a wheel chair for the rest of my life. I prayed silently for a mission that comes with a magical healing potion yet again. As I drove into the school compound, I saw a lot of students staring at their phones. They were bickering among themselves like one of the students was dead. But the fact was that the news about the accident and Evelyn becoming a cripple had spread like wildfire. I wonder who was able to pass the news of
