~Leo~

I looked at Vino, and he was very uncomfortable.

It pleased me that he knew he could never have my friendship.

He sat on the single chair in the room, and there was total silence between us.

I noticed he was battling himself.

I knew he had questions, but I wouldn’t give him the go-ahead to ask them.

He sat for another hour before Dr Claudia came to check on the patients. He stood immediately, and his wolf eyes flashed.

I did not need to guess what had happened.

The body language of both of them said it all.

Having been in that situation twice and seen Sylvester battle his, I knew what was happening.

Why would the goddess bless this idiot like this?

Suddenly I wished Claudia’s husband was still alive, kicking and breathing.

I wondered if he would do what he did to me to the guy.

Claudia’s body language was uneasy, but she could control herself better than Vino.

I guess that level of control came with the job.

Seeing Vino, I knew the selfish bastard did not come to see Marcel and Avery; he came for Claudia.

The look on his face said it all.

I did not know when I started to laugh.

Unfortunately, that was a bad idea because it woke Amelia up from sleep. The doctor looked in my direction, and Vino refused to look at me because he knew I knew.

Amelia gently sat up, a bit confused.

As always, she always took her time to wake up.

I pulled her close and tried to calm her down so she would know everything was alright.

Claudia proceeded to check Avery and Marcel and then left.

Vino followed her, and I hoped deep down he would get rejected.

I wanted to see him in pain.

I learned he was in severe pain when Amanda died.

I did not think the pain was enough; he needed another dose of what he cost me.
