Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1348

When Brielle woke up, the sky was painted in shades of orange and pink – she had slept through the entire day.

She overheard the medical staff outside delivering reports, and relief washed over her. Everyone was safe. The illness mainly spread through ingestion, with an 80% transmission rate through bodily fluids. Once infected, the fatality rate was a grim 100%. But for now, Brielle and King were in the clear.

Her heart, heavy with worry, finally found some peace.

King walked into the room, relief evident in his eyes when he saw her awake. He gently lifted the blankets and started massaging her back.

"Does it hurt?" he asked, concern lacing his voice.

Brielle shot him a playful glare. "Now you care? Why didn't you stop last night when I asked?"

"Brielle, we have a flight at 8 PM. We're all heading back home."

Brielle nodded, her eyes closing in comfort.

But then, she felt King's arms wrapping around her waist, his voice husky and tinged with a hint of sadness. "I'm going to miss you so much, Brielle."

Confused, Brielle questioned, "Why are you saying that? Aren't we going to be together?"

Was he thinking of leaving her?

"King, you don't want me anymore?"

At her words, King stiffened, then held her even tighter. "That's nonsense!"

"Then why say such things? You're making me anxious. I don't want you to go. Can't we always be together?"
