Cassian stayed silent for a moment.
Then he finally looked at Elias seriously.
“He’s not cursing Amara,” Cassian said quietly. “He was telling the truth.”
Elias froze.
“What?” he asked sharply, confusion immediately covering his face.
Cassian sighed before continuing carefully.
“I started digging into Amara because of what we talked about before,” he admitted. “You know… when we thought she might have another man.”
Elias frowned harder.
“But I didn’t find another man,” Cassian continued. “I found something much worse.”
Elias immediately stepped closer to him.
“What the hell are you talking about?” he demanded.
Cassian looked directly at him before speaking.
“Amara had a brain tumor,” he said seriously. “She went through surgery while you were in Australia for those three months.”
Chapter 18
Elias stared at him in complete disbelief.
For a second, he looked genuinely stunned.
Then his expression darkened violently.
“Have you lost your fucking mind too?” Elias snapped, fury flashing across his face. “You’re really going to pull this bullshit on me because of that bastard?”
He stepped closer aggressively.
“I swear to God, I’ll kill both of you.”
But Cassian’s expression never changed.
Instead, he calmly pulled his phone out of his pocket.
Then he turned the screen toward Elias.
“Look at this,” he said quietly.
His voice remained serious.
“I found the files and information myself,” Cassian said quietly. “I was actually on my way to meet you today to show you everything…”
His eyes flicked briefly toward Zoe’s room before returning to Elias.
“But then all this chaos happened, and things ended up like this instead.”
Elias stared at Cassian in disbelief before snatching the phone from his hand.
His brows furrowed deeply as he looked through the files, shock slowly spreading across his face.
