Chapter 2623

The hospital was bustling with activity, but a stern reminder from a passing nurse brought a húsh to the chaos.

“Let’s try to keep it down. There are other patients here who want to rest.”

Victoria, quick to feel contrite, mumbled an apology to the nurse while simultaneously reaching out to shield Mara. She hadn’t expected Mara to lash out, shoving her aside and bolting for the exit.

Her plea was met with a crack of thunder, as if the sky itself was responding. Rain poured down on her, but Mara felt a twisted sense of relief amid the downpour and made no move to seek shelter.
