Tristan Grayson hadn't gone far. Instead, he leaned against a wall not far from the hospital room and started smoking, one cigarette after another...
Once he had finished the entire pack, Tristan Grayson finally walked toward Maggie Monroe's hospital room.
Looking at the small figure curled up in a ball on the hospital bed, his brows furrowed for a moment before smoothing out. In a cold, hard voice, he said flatly, "Let's get married."
"Tristan..." Maggie Monroe, who had been sobbing quietly with her head buried in the sheets, suddenly heard those three words. She snapped her head up and cried out, her voice trembling in disbelief.
"But..."
Before Maggie Monroe could even recover from her shock and elation, Tristan's follow-up word terrified her.
She gazed at Tristan, anxious and tense...
"But, Maggie, the one person in this world I never want to lie to is you."
