Chapter 484:
“I don’t want to be here anymore,” she whispered. Her voice was a dry, broken rasp. “I have nothing left. I just want it to stop p>
Easton’s chest tightened. The absolute defeat in her voice felt like a blade twisting between his ribs. He knew the sedatives were keeping her body calm, but her mind was still trapped in that dining room, convinced that the only source of warmth in her life had been brutally destroyed.
He could not wait another second.
“June, listen to me,” he said. He leaned over the bed and placed his uninjured left hand gently on the mattress near her shoulder. “You need to look at me. What you saw in that house was a lie p>
June closed her eyes and shook her head weakly. She didn’t want comforting lies. She had seen the bloody fur.
Easton straightened up. He turned and walked toward the far corner of the room.
Sitting on a small table was a large, temperature-controlled pet carrier, covered with a dark blue hospital blanket.
Easton reached out, took hold of the edge of the blanket, and pulled it away in one smooth motion. He unlatched the metal door of the carrier and swung it open wide.
For a moment, nothing happened.
Then a soft scratching sound came from inside the plastic carrier.
A small, twitching pink nose poked out of the darkness. A second later, a fluffy, pure white head emerged.

Snowball hopped out onto the linoleum floor, shook her long ears, and immediately began sniffing the leg of the table.
June’s breath hitched.
Her eyes snapped wide open. She stared at the white rabbit moving across the floor. Her mind short-circuited completely.
She stopped breathing. She did not blink. She was terrified that if she moved a single muscle, the hallucination would dissolve and disappear.
Easton walked over, bent down, and scooped Snowball up carefully with his good left hand. He carried the rabbit back to the bed and placed her gently onto the white blankets, right beside June’s waist.
Snowball hopped forward. She nudged her soft, warm nose against June’s cold fingers, demanding to be petted.
The sensation of warm fur brushing against her skin sent a violent, electric shock straight through June’s entire body.
“She is real,” Easton said quietly.
He looked down at June’s stunned face. “After the poisoning, I had my team place the veterinary clinic under twenty-four-hour surveillance. They spotted a man matching the exact description of the Beasley driver loitering near the staff entrance this morning. We knew they were coming back to finish the job. We intercepted the orderly before he reached the VIP ward and swapped the carriers. The animal they took was a decoy p>
He reached out and stroked the top of Snowball’s head. “Snowball has been sleeping in my apartment all morning. She is perfectly safe p>
June stared at him. She processed his words — the impossible reality that this man had anticipated a lethal attack and executed a flawless, high-stakes rescue while she slept.
The dam inside her chest broke.
