Chapter 902

Rhea was burning with anger, ready to storm into Phillip’s room and demand the truth. But Jace’s hand on her arm stopped her.

“You won’t get anything out of him right now,” he said calmly. “He’s still unconscious in the ICU. If anyone sees you near him, it’ll only make things worse.”

Her anger cooled as reality sank in. Every move she made was still being watched. The hospital gossip had quieted, but the judgmental looks remained. She wasn’t in the clear yet.

She sank into a chair, covering her face with her hands. “Thanks, Dean. I wasn’t thinking straight.”

After a moment, she looked up at him, her voice softer. “I’m really glad you’re here.”

Jace’s expression flickered before he said, “You’re my assistant. Of course I’ve got your back. All we need is a urine test.”
