And he had the nerve to show that kind of concern for Elissa right in front of her? What did their years together even mean to him? The jealousy in her chest flared into rage. The more she thought about it, the harder it was to keep still. Linda pushed herself up on her arms to sit up. But the second she got up, her strength gave out.
"Ah!" She cried out as the pain shot through her. "Nurse! Nurse!" At the sanatorium, Laney held the door open for Ernest and gestured inside. "Miss Holland is in the living room." "Got it." Ernest nodded and walked straight in.
When she heard footsteps, Elissa turned toward the sound and called, "Who is it?" "It's me," a deep, male voice answered.
The familiar voice made her flinch. Of all people, his voice was the one she least wanted to hear right now. "You..." Elissa's lips parted slightly. "Dilan..." "It's me." Ernest sat down beside her on the sofa, his brows furrowed, and asked sharply, "Why did you request a relocation?" Elissa blinked, caught off guard. "How do you know about that?" "You didn't answer my question," he said, ignoring hers altogether. "Why did you want to move?" Elissa bit her lip, hesitant. After a moment, she decided to be honest. "I don't want to be close to you anymore." "Why?" Ernest asked, meeting her bluntness with his own. "Because I kissed you?" Elissa's eyes widened in shock. "You... you..."

He decided it might as well be now, and start with telling her his feelings.
He drew in a slow breath and confessed, "I didn't kiss you on impulse, nor was I trying to take advantage of you. Elissa, I want to be with you." The words hit Elissa like a tidal wave.
She sprang to her feet and bellowed, "Don't say things like that! You know I have a husband!"
"You'll divorce him." Ernest's tone cut through her protest like a blade. "A man like that—a cheated and abuser Are you really going to spend the rest of your life trapped in a marriage like that?" "That..." Elissa faltered. "That's something to deal with later—"
"I'll wait for you." Ernest's response was immediate. His dark eyes locked onto hers, full of unwavering intent. "I respect your values. And I promise, until your divorce is final, I won't cross any lines." Elissa froze, her mind buzzing with the revelation. What was happening? Did he just confess to her? "Dilan..." Elissa drew in a long breath and shook her head. "Do you even know me? How can you say something like that? We've only met a few times... My past—"
"It doesn't matter." Ernest couldn't stand the way her self-doubt surfaced every tshe brought up her past. "I'm not interested in your past. Not your ex-husband. Not anything that cbefore. What I care about is your future."
