Chapter 190|| REINALDO’S POV ||I didn’t hear Marcel at first. My mind was too focused on the pale stillness of Anastasia’s face, on the way her fingers lay unmoving over the white sheets, on the thin tubes and wires attached to her body. I clenched my jaw, fighting the rage and fear twisting inside my chest.“Boss.”Marcel’s voice finally reached me.I turned slowly. The expression on his face was tight, controlled—but I had worked with him long enough to recognize the signs. Something was wrong. Very wrong.“What is it?” I asked.He stepped closer, lowering his voice instinctively, even though no one was around. “Christen is coming.”The words didn’t register immediately.“Coming where?” I asked, even though some part of me already knew the answer.“Here,” Marcel said. “To the hospital.”The corridor seemed to narrow suddenly, the walls closing in.

I noticed the slight tremble in her shoulders and slowed my steps, adjusting my pace to hers. Every step she took looked heavier than the last."They won't stop, will they?" she finally asked, her voice barely above a whisper."Not today," I said honestly. "But you don't have to face them alone."She looked at me then, really looked at me, and for a moment I forgot everything else.
