He Took My Body, Then Called My Sister’s Name 43

Chapter

The room turned cold

Jack didn’t say a word; seconds dragged into minutes until Olivia’s consciousness began to fade again

At last, his voice cut through the silence. Save Emily first.” 

The nurse froze

Captain Rivers, with all due respectthis is life and death. Miss Ross’s condition is still manageable, but Miss Hart-” 

I said save Emily first,Jack repeated, voice low and unyielding

Olivia let out a faint laugh, tears slipped from the corners of her eyesthen everything went dark

She wasn’t afraid of dying

She was afraid this was how her life would end

As the edges of her awareness dissolved, fragments of her past her mother’s death, her father’s obsession with another woman’s childflashed before her

All those sleepless nights alone in a foreign country, wondering if disappearing might be easier than enduring one more day

But she hadn’t. Because deep down, some part of her still wanted to live. Still hoped for more.All those people who had hurt her were still walking around, untouched, unbothered. So why should 

she be the one to vanish

Then she thought of Jack Rivers

All she had ever wanted was to crack the shell of his cold, disciplined exterior, tear off that uniform

and see those detached eyes reflect only her

It didn’t matter that he never loved her

She had loved him freelyand she could let go just the same

There were still things she hadn’t done, dreams she hadn’t chased, a version of herself she hadn’t 

yet become

Even if she’d been forced to marry into some rural outpost, she believed she could still carve out

life of her own

She didn’t want to die. But maybe, this time, it wasn’t up to her

When she came to, she was in a hospital bed

A nurse was changing her bandages, and her eyes lit up with relief the moment Olivia stirred

You’re finally awake!” 

Am Istill alive?Olivia’s voice was hoarse

Just barely,the nurse replied with a nervous chuckle. You were lucky. Another batch of 

antivenom arrived just in timeany later and things might’ve gone very differently.” 

Olivia gave a faint smile. And Emily?” 

The nurse, assuming concern, smiled back

Oh, she’s fine. Her bite wasn’t serious. Captain Rivers stayed with her the whole time, you know- 

fed her water himself, sat by her bedside all night. Didn’t even answer his phone when the base 

called.” 

The nurse went on about Jack’s attentiveness, her tone warm and gossipy, but Olivia listened in 

silence

Strangely, she felt nothing. Not pain. Not jealousy. Not even sadness

It surprised her too

Your vitals look good, and the toxins are gone. Another day or two and you should be cleared for 

discharge,the nurse added cheerfully

But that same night, Olivia quietly signed herself out

Back at the dorm, she began packingclothes, her journal, the antique pocket watch her mother 

had left herfolding and tucking each item into her suitcase one by one

She was halfway through when the door burst open

She turned sharply, startledonly to see Jack standing there, rainsoaked and breathless, his uniform unbuttoned and disheveled like he’d run straight from a storm

She had never seen him like this

Jack was the picture of restraint, always neat, always composed. Even his collar was usually 

buttoned to the top

Now, he looked shaken, windswept, and for the first time, visibly unguarded

Why didn’t you tell me you were checking out?he asked, voice low

Olivia didn’t flinch

Why would I? You didn’t seem to care if I lived or died.” 

His throat bobbed. For a second, he said nothing

Then he murmured, almost like a confession, You found out.” 

But the next moment, his tone hardened again

Emily saved my life once. I couldn’t let anything happen to her.” 

Olivia returned to folding her clothes, calm and unbothered

You don’t have to explain. That serum was yours. You’re free to give it to whoever you want.” 

That shut him up

Silence settled between them, tense and thick

Then his eyes fell on her suitcase, and his expression changed

In two quick strides, he reached out and grabbed her wrist

What do you think you’re doing?”
