Chapter 1339:
She truly couldn’t understand why Margo kept approaching it this way. Was she planning to apologize to Dunn every single day?
Meanwhile, Dunn turned his head aside, concealing a flicker of loneliness beneath his lowered gaze.
“No, Mrs. Hopkins. I…” Margo shook her head, her palms damp with cold sweat. “I’m here to apologize to you p>
“To me?” Myah echoed patiently. “What do you have to apologize for p>
Margo pressed her lower lip between her teeth, forcing steadiness into her voice as she spoke.
“I regret the promise I made to you p>
Myah glanced briefly at Dunn before a faint smile crossed her lips. “So what is it you want to say p>
“I’ve come to realize something. I have feelings for Dunn,” Margo said without hesitation.
Dunn’s grip on the quilt tightened, but he kept his gaze averted.
“Is that so?” Myah’s eyes gleamed with restrained curiosity. “If you’re saying this because you heard Dunn woke up and you’re hoping for his forgiveness, then I suggest you leave p>
“No!” Panic surged through Margo. “That’s not why I’m here p>
She drew a shaky breath, forcing herself to stay steady. “I know how ridiculous my words must sound right now. I thought what I felt for him was guilt and discomfort, but it’s more than that. I genuinely care about him… even if I still can’t fully understand my own heart p>
Her voice grew hoarse, and her sentences began to tangle, uneven and raw.
“I know it might be too late to say any of this, but I needed him to know. I’ve been selfish p>
Margo wrapped her arms around herself, holding on as if she might fall apart otherwise. Yet the moment she said it, she couldn’t help feeling foolish.

She claimed she wasn’t here to ask for forgiveness—but was that really true? Somewhere deep down, she still longed for the chance to stay by his side.
The thought made her want to slap herself awake.
“What I want is Dunn’s answer. Even if he rejects me outright, I don’t care,” Margo admitted, her eyes filling with tears again.
More than anything, she wanted to hear his voice—to see him, even for a second.
A flash of anger crossed Myah’s face. She finally snorted, unable to hold it back. “Miss Perez, do you not see how selfish you’re being? Who do you think you are p>
If Myah hadn’t investigated Margo beforehand, she would have suspected an ulterior motive.
Margo fell silent, unable to defend herself.
“So you plan to break your promise?” Myah pressed.
The ward went quiet at once.
Myah turned toward Dunn, who sat on the bed, and sighed helplessly.
“Have you fulfilled your desire p>
Margo thought Myah’s question was directed at her. She lifted her head, her expression blank, only to realize Dunn had turned as well.
