Alicia gently put her hand on Louis's, feeling how cold it was. She held it for a moment, then quickly let go, worried that if she held on too long, she might change her mind.
Louis whispered, "Madelyn's been in a car accident too, and she's unconscious in the operating room. I've sent people to look into Sauron. We'll have the evidence we need to stop him soon."
Alicia gave a sad smile. "When will this cycle of revenge end?"
She touched her cold belly and said, "No matter how much I seek revenge, my child isn't coming back. Lucas won't come back either. If our marriage continues, who knows how many more people will get hurt of even die?"
With Madelyn in a car accident, Gregg wouldn't just stand by. The cycle of revenge would go on and on, with people getting hurt and dying.
Louis looked at her, his eyes dark and deep. "Could you bear to lose me?"
