Chapter 147 The Price Of Silence

• Leo’s POV
• The hospital was quiet again too quiet. The kind of silence that pressed against the walls and made breathing feel like a disruption.
• Leo sat outside the emergency ward, his elbows resting on his knees, his shirt still wrinkled from the chaos of the morning. Fred paced near the vending machine, his phone in hand but forgotten. The blinking red light above the door was the only sound, the steady hum of machines and footsteps echoing down the hall.
