Chapter 278 Something's Not Right

• ELIAS'S P.O.V
• I had a gut-churning feeling that something bad was happening. I couldn't take my eyes off the gaping wound on Shanti's stomach. My heart was crushed at the sight before me. I should've treated her better. I should've noticed her. But it was only now that I felt anything. Now that I was on the verge of losing her. I was consumed with guilt for how awful I had treated her. She had a rough life, and being with me was no better. I only lit the match that caused her to go aflame, metaphorically speaking.
• "Something's not right," I said to my mother, who breathlessly repeated her chant, ignoring my words.
