Chapter Twenty-Eight: You're Fired!
Reign decided to take a walk through the hospital hallway like a storm dressed in a suit.
He was looking at everything…every nurse, every guard, every corner until they landed on the room where Isabelle was sleeping.
The moment he came back and stepped in, something changed in him.
She was lying curled up, a white sheet pulled to her shoulders, her lashes looked still wet from crying.
Her red ponytail had loosened, strands falling over her cheek. Even in sleep, she looked broken. Her lips trembled like she was still begging the world to save someone.
Reign took off his coat, then gently reached under her back and knees. He lifted her up in his arms like she weighed nothing. Her head leaned against his chest. Isabelle didn't wake up.
"Get away from them," Reign muttered without raising his voice.
Violet didn't ask questions. She stood up immediately and backed up, her eyebrows furrowed and she nodded.
