"Heh..." 'Is he threatening me again?'
She suppressed her pain and turmoil, her voice turning cold and distant. "Tristan Grayson, I just have one question for you. What you said in the hospital that day... does it still stand?"
There was a pause. On the other end of the line, Tristan, who had been brimming with anger, suddenly froze. 'What I said at the hospital?' he wondered. 'I said so much. How am I supposed to know what she's talking about?'
Just as Tristan Grayson knitted his brow, about to ask her what she meant, Mika Summers spoke again. "You said that after I was discharged from the hospital, you would marry me. Was that true?"
Tristan Grayson fell silent, a complicated expression in his eyes.
'Why is everyone asking me this today?' he thought. 'Just a moment ago, Maggie Monroe asked me the same question in her room. Now this woman is asking it too.'
'No matter what I choose, I'll have to let one of them down.'
