Eira stepped up to the hospital counter, sliding her credit card across to pay.
Liam stood by her side and watched silently.
"Thank you, Ms. Hax," the nurse said, handing back her card.
Eira gave a faint smile, putting her card away. She turned to Liam. "So, where are you staying?" she asked, trying to sound casual.

"You can't stay with me," she stated. "My own place. It's… complicated."
He raised an eyebrow. "Eira, I'm your brother. And your husband is dying. You think I'm leaving you alone?"
She sighed, knowing he wouldn't let this go. "Fine. Just… try not to cause any trouble, alright? And Callian will not die. I know him."
They made their way to her penthouse, and Liam's eyes widened as soon as he stepped in.
The spacious, luxurious rooms, the polished floors, the view of the city—everything felt surreal.
