I paused for a moment, letting my words settle in the air before continuing, "Or perhaps... Miss Myers enjoys playing the role of a mistress?"
Scarlett's expression darkened instantly, the proud gleam in her eyes flickering away as my words hit home. I watched her composure slip as she let out a small laugh. "So what? You must have heard this saying that the one who isn't loved is the real mistress. I only had to pull a few strings to make Caleb leave you behind. He still loves me the most."
She sat up straighter, puffing out her chest like a peacock on display. "I am Caleb's eternal first love. No matter what you do, he'll never forget me."
I stood up, towering over her as I looked at her. "Miss Myers, you're even willing to hurt yourself just to get his attention. I guess you must not value your life much."
With that, I reached over and swiftly pulled the IV needle from the back of her hand, ignoring her pained gasp as I turned and walked out of the ward.
Opening the door, I slipped into the back seat where Caleb sat in the driver's seat.
