Evelin's POV
After what felt like forever, Rex finally broke the silence, each word seeming to drain what little strength he had left. "I... There's someone I can't abandon. And Thorne's the only one who can save her."
I went rigid, caught completely off guard by his response. My mind raced back to the intel I'd gathered during my investigation - when my brother was stationed in Thornvale, some woman had come to his rescue.
Actually, that same woman was the reason Rex ended up tangled with the Thor family in the first place. She'd tracked down Annick, who happened to be in Thornvale on some charity mission, begging her to help treat him.
Later on, Rex became the Thor family's bastard son, and the woman followed him back to Valdoria.
My research had also revealed that this woman was sick - seriously sick - and had been stuck in the hospital long-term.
'Is she the one Rex can't walk away from?' I wondered, digging through my memory for her name.
