“Don’t waste my breath with your pathetic excuses!” Christina snapped. There was a crash–something thrown against a wall- followed by a startled yelp from the caretaker.
“You’re nothing but a servant. Who gave you permission to leave your post? I haven’t taken my pills yet. Where did you disappear
As the nurse began stammering another explanation, I pushed the door open.
Christina’s head whipped toward the entrance, her expression freezing mid–tirade. The transformation was immediate and remarkable–like watching a theatrical quick–change. The fury in her eyes dissolved, replaced by vulnerability and surprise.
“Sean… my name escaped her lips in a breathless whisper.
I took in the scene with detached interest. A makeup bag lay overturned on the floor, its contents scattered across the pristine tiles. The nurse stood pressed against the wall, visibly relieved by my interuption.
Christina’s hands fluttered nervously to her hair, smoothing the perfectly styled waves before attempting to rise gracefully from the bed. Her hospital gown had been replaced with an expensive silk nightdress–clearly brought from home for this performance.
“Sean, you finally came to see me? Tears welled in her eyes with practiced precision. “I’ve been waiting for you all day.”
She glided toward me, her stance softening into one of delicate fragility. “I was afraid you wouldn’t want to speak to me anymore. Everything I did… It was all because I love you too much.”

Christina’s composure faltered momentarily before she recovered. “1 I was just anxious about whether you’d come. I lost contral for a moment. Are you alright? I didn’t mean to-”
The nurse nodded almost imperceptibly, her expression revealing her disgust at Christina’s dual nature.

Christina moved closer, her perfume–too heavy for a hospital room enveloping me. “Sean, I know you’re still angry. About last night… I can explain everything. Dont belleve those rumors. Nothing happened between me and that bartender. The video was a
setup.”
I felt my lips curve into a slight smile but offered no response as I walked to the armchair by the window and sat down. Honestly, I

Christina hurried after me, clearly unsettled by my silence. “You don’t believe me?”
I poured myself a glass of mineral water, still maintaining my

I understand you might still have feelings for her, but she hunt you live years ago, Even if you te reconnecting dow, she’ll eventually leave you again, just like before. I’m different, Sean. You’re all I care about. Not only will I never leave you, but I saved your life,”
I took a slow sip of water, watching her over the tim of the glass.
“At least believe me for the sake of what I did for you,” she continued her voice rising with desperation. “That day on the yacht, the water was freezing. I jumped in without thinking, nearly died myself. My hand still has permanent scars. You-”
“Stop talking about that incident, I cut her off sharply. “If I owed you anything before, consider the debt paid. After you deleted Angela’s message behind my back–nearly causing the deaths of my two children–we’re now even.”
The color drained from Christina’s face, T… I don’t know what you’re talking about…
I fixed her with a cold stare. “The reason I came today, Christina, is to tell you to stay away from me.”
