He knew that from this day forward, he would have to bury his feelings for her deep in his heart.
"Well, I should be going. Melody has finally recovered, and I can't be away for too long."
"Okay," Ashley Bowen said, her voice hoarse as she waved at him.
Goodbye.
Adam Sinclair rose, gave the woman on the bed one last, reluctant glance, then turned and left without looking back.
As he reached the door to the room, someone bumped right into him.
When Chloe looked up, her face was deathly pale. She apologized at once, "I'm so sorry, Your Highness. I didn't mean to."
"It's nothing," Adam Sinclair said with a graceful smile, and left.
Chloe came in, but Ashley Bowen still hadn't recovered from her sadness.
She quickly wiped her tears away and asked, "How is the investigation going?"
Chloe glanced outside, told the soldiers to keep watch, and shut the door.
"Imperial Concubine, we've found out everything. The matter you spoke of... it barely needed investigating."
