Chapter 109: In His Unconscious State
Olivia's POV
For another few minutes, the healer attended to Lennox, and after she was satisfied with his condition, she nodded and got to her feet. "He's fine, but it'll take a few hours for him to wake. I still recommend someone stays with him in case he wakes up."
"I will stay with him," Anita said immediately, stealing the words right out of my mouth. I wanted to say it. I wanted to stay with him. Despite everything, despite our strained relationship. I couldn't return to my room and feel at ease knowing he was still unconscious.
"No, Anita, you can't watch over Lennox. You are sick," Louis refused immediately.
Anita frowned and shook her head. "I can manage… I really want to stay with him. It is my duty…" she tried arguing, but I cut her off with a scoff.
"Your duty?" I asked, arching a brow, my hands still intertwined with Lennox's. "Last time I checked, Anita, you are just a concubine. And I?" I smirked. "I'm his wife. His mate. If anyone stays, it's going to be me. So I advise you to go back to your room, Anita. You're still unwell—according to you."
A deep frown spread across Anita's face as she glared at me. If looks could kill, I'd already be dead—but I didn't care. I turned to Levi and Louis, who stood at the edge of the bed. "You both can leave. I'll attend to him. After all, it is my duty as his wife," I said firmly, leaving no room for argument.
Levi and Louis exchanged a glance before both of them nodded in agreement.
As they reluctantly turned to leave, Anita's voice rang out sharply, halting them in their tracks.
"You can't let her stay!" she snapped, her eyes filled with disbelief. "She hates Lennox— he hates her too! What if she tries to kill him in his sleep?"
The room fell into stunned silence.
