Chapter 51
That was all the motion I needed.
With a feren seat, I grabbed his hand and twisted in vindenly.
The sickening crack of bones breaking was a twisted satisfaction, the requers screams echoing off the walls.
Irained with equal brutality, rming he feh every miner of the pain he had inflicted en Elizabeth.
As the rogue’s cries faded into weak mass, I stepped back, my breathing heavy hut my rage slightly alleviated.
-1 sank into a nearby chair, lighting a cigarette, trying in a calm my timbulent emotions.
Beta approached, holding out a phone with a serious expression.
“There’s a call for you.” Beta said, his tone both respectful and concerned.
I took the phone, my mind still burning with anger. “Hello?” I said, trying to steady my voice,
On the other end. Aria’s voice was strained and tearful.
“Lea, my hand… it’s broken,” she sobbed. “I’ve been working so hard to play the piano for you. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to play again. Please, come and see me.”
Her distress tured at something inside me.
Despite my anger, a pang of guilt hit me.
I quickly dressed and instructed Beta to keep a close eye on the rogue.
“I need to visit Aria” I said my voice form.
When I arrived at the hospital, Aria was in a state of hysteria.
Her wails were heart wrenching as she cried out about her ruined hand and her fears of never playing the piano again
“Aria.” I said, trying to calm her. “Please, try to stay calm. We gure this out
But her cries only grew louder. Her anguish was nearly unbearable, and I pulled out a bank card, offering it to her as a peace offering
The sight of the card seemed to soothe her a bit, but the sense of urgency remained.
I could see Aria crying but my heart only yearned for Elizabeth
I couldn’t stop thinking about her and her pain
1 knew she was all by herself and my heart was desperately forcing me towards her
In my mind and my hear, I could only imagine Elizabeth’s pain and her not being able to play the piano.
Though Aria’s crying tried her best to distract me at my worry for Elizabeth only grew stronger.
“I have to go.” I said, my voice cutting through her sobs. Thrabeth was hurt too. I need to see her.”
Aria’s eyes flashed with anger as she grabbed my arm. “I am in pain. I need you.”
“You can call your parents to take care of you if you need to,”
They’ve gone to find the person responsible.” She said, while grasping me harder,
I somehow succeeded in getting a bit away from her “What? I have already caught punished the murderer, so whom are her parents purushing? 1- thought to myself.

“They’ll make site that awful woman. Elsbeth pays be everything. She’s just jealous of
Her word were a joli to my system
I pushed her away, her shocked egitension lingering as I left the hospital.
My mind raced as I made my way back to Elizabeth’s hospital.
When larthed, the scene
scene was chaotic. The ward was in disarray.
The room looked disgusting as if something horrible had just happened here.
Rose petals were spilled all met, china tiles were dirty with water and dark stains.
I say murses and approached one of them :
“What happened here?-Lasked urgently.
“There was a disturbance,” the morse explained.
“A couple claimed to be your relatives and caused a stone. There was an altercation, and the patient threw a vase at them. A man intervened and arranged for a transfer.”
My heart sank
The couple must have heen Aria’s parents, and the man who intervened had to be Rolin.
I pulled out my phone and dialed Elizabeth’s number.
Rolm answered, his voice cold and unyielding
“Let me speak to Elizabeth,” 1 demanded.
“She’s resting,” Rolin said, his tone dismissive. “She had a confrontation with some visitors. She’s not up for phone calls right now.”
“Where is she?” I pressed.
Rolin hesitated.
“She’s being moved to a private hospital I own. I won’t give you the address. If you can’t manage the people around her, then perhaps you don’t deserve to see her.”
When he finished, he seemed to hang up the phone.
I hurriedly asked, “Is Elizabeth okay? Theard she had a run in with someone.”
The Elizabeth I remember was always very gentle and rarely resisted when she was harshly chastised by others. Facing the fierce Flameheart Alpha couple, she might have been hurt, which made me very worried.
