Chapter 248: Never Loved Her
Lennox’s POV
Sofia...! It was really her.
Even though we hadn’t seen her in more than three years, we recognized her instantly. Nothing had changed. She still looked just like Olivia... just an older version. Same eyes. Same nose. Same soft lips that used to curl into the same kind of smile that made everything else disappear.
My chest tightened the moment I stared at her. It was like seeing a ghost. A ghost of Olivia...
Then suddenly, everything shifted. Damien panicked and rushed forward, scooping Sofia into his arms like she weighed nothing. Her body was limp, her eyes half-closed.
"Call the healers!" he shouted at the nearest guard, his voice sharp with fear.
Before we could ask anything, he turned and sprinted into the mansion with her in his arms. My brothers and I exchanged confused looks. No one said a word. But we all followed.
By the time we reached Damien’s room, he was already kneeling beside Sofia on the bed, clutching her hand tightly.
"She’s burning up," he whispered, brushing her hair back from her forehead. "Come on, baby. Stay with me..."
His voice cracked. The fear in his eyes wasn’t fake. The pain in his expression wasn’t fake. He still loved her. He never stopped.
So why? Why did he marry Rebecca? Why bring her here and call her his Luna when his heart clearly still belonged to someone else?
The healers rushed in behind us and began their work. One of them placed glowing hands over Sofia’s chest, while another crushed herbs into a paste.
