Chapter 340 Painful Patience

• It wasn't like I couldn't understand where Diana was coming from. After all that Dahlia had been through, it was only natural for Diana to act overly protective of her only sister. In fact, the two sisters had always acted protective of each other, and that was understandable considering that they probably felt that it was just the two of them against the world. It didn't take me long to figure out that all of my attempts to get in touch with Dahlia were blocked by Diana.
• Even though I wasn't allowed to see Dahlia, that didn't stop me from standing guard with my men in front of or close to her hospital room. Dahlia's disappearance from the public only added to the unrest as speculation regarding her relationship with the King escalated until it became uncontrollable. At that point, I was sure that Dahlia was a target for many in all the bad ways that threatened her safety.
• "Why are you here?" Diana asked me the first time that I came to visit Dahlia. She glanced towards the door of her hospital room before pressing her index finger against her lips and smiling my way. I understood right away that she wanted me to shut up so that I wouldn't disturb Dahlia's rest.
