Chapter 141 A Pact Of Love

• I sat at Hollis’s side, my heart pounding in my chest, every beat a reminder of how fragile everything had become. The room felt smaller with each passing moment, the sterile white walls closing in around me. The beeping of the machines was deafening, each sound marking another breath, another second that Hollis was still here, hanging on by a thread. But how much longer? How much longer could he keep fighting?
• I squeezed his hand tighter, my fingers trembling. I could feel the warmth slowly fading from his skin, and a sickening knot twisted in my stomach. I didn’t know how to breathe in this room, not with him lying there, so broken, so still. I was suffocating under the weight of it all.
