Chapter 296
Marvin
I took the elevator to the top floor and found my way to Tiago’s recovery room. “Leave,” I told the maid guarding the door. Her lips trembled in fear. “Sir, your mother gave us instructions to-”
“Do I look like my mother?”
The woman shook her head vigorously and walked away without saying another word. I didn’t want to be like this, but I was doing it for Tiago I was doing it, so I didn’t have to lose him.

He sounded pathetic, and I felt sorry for him. I didn’t want it to be like this. “It smells like someone died in here. Please take a shower.”
“Anya died.”
For a second, I closed my eyes to control my anger and pushed the trolley towards the bed. I grabbed a plate and a fork and sat down on the very edge of the bed. “Tiago, you need to eat.” I stuck a knife into the eggs. “I need you to get stronger.”
“No, you don’t.”

“That’s not true.” I smiled. “I would never let anything happen to you. You know that.”
