I turned to him, voice steady, asking the question that mattered most to me. “Then, can the wedding between Rigel and me still happen?”
“Of course! Absolutely! If Liora doesn’t mind my grandson being in a coma, once he recovers, our family will treat you with the utmost respect. A proper wedding, no broken promises!”
Relief washed over me as I nodded, finally at ease.
To my surprise, word of my skills spread quickly. Tessa and James announced my success, and overnight, Greenville buzzed with the news that I had brought Rigel back to life.
Everyone was shocked. Wasn’t I the same useless girl who had once trailed behind Jaxon?
The next morning, Jaxon’s phone exploded with calls from his best friends. When he checked, his screen was flooded with unread messages.
One of his closest friends caught his eye. It had a bold headline. [Greenville’s Miracle Doctor! Rigel Revived! Wedding in Three Days! The Entire City Sends Blessings!]
The glaring word wedding struck his eyes like a bolt of lightning. In a fit of rage, he smashed his phone onto the floor, the screen shattering into pieces.
"Good job, Liora! You really grew some guts!"
Trying to win him back with this trick? Not happening.
