The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2883

"Look, I need to know the truth, whether I can handle it or not," Dahlia insisted, her voice trembling but determined.

Beside her, the doctor was getting visibly impatient. "Sir, please just give her an answer. The patient won't settle into her room, and we need to treat her wound. She's still bleeding, for heaven's sake. You can't joke about your health like this!"

The doctor was clearly on the edge of losing his cool. Nolan looked into Dahlia's tear-filled eyes and finally gave a slow nod.

"I understand every choice you've made. It's been a long time, and I've forgiven you long ago."

But Dahlia didn't feel any relief wash over her upon hearing his words. Instead, her heart shattered a little more.

When a couple argues, if both are still angry and resentful, it means they can't let go of each other. But if one has moved on, it means they've truly left the relationship behind. And that was exactly where Nolan was at.

Dahlia felt a chill in her heart, and she stopped struggling. Seizing the moment, the doctor and nurses swiftly wheeled her into the hospital room to continue treatment.

Outside the room, Nolan was left sitting alone, staring at the blood that had accidentally stained his hands. He sighed deeply.

If only he had made things clear with Dahlia earlier, none of this would have happened, especially not outside the New Blossom Press office. He furrowed his brows, wondering how Regina and her boss were handling the PR mess.

All he hoped was that it wouldn't affect Regina's work and that none of his colleagues would dare mention this incident.

With that thought, he decided to wait until Dahlia's stitches were done before heading to her company.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't even fifteen minutes before Regina herself appeared, rushing up to him in a fluster, a far cry from her usual composure.

They locked eyes, and Regina caught her breath before asking him, "Dahlia, how long has she been in surgery? Did the doctor say when she might be released?"
