Chapter 29
Elana's POV
The silence that followed my words was almost deafening.
Hundreds of eyes were fixed on us.
Guests.
Donors.
Hospital staff.
Volunteers.
Families.
People who had come to support a worthy cause and now found themselves witnessing a confrontation none of them had asked for.
For a brief moment, I thought it was over.
I thought Sophia might finally realize how inappropriate this was.
I should have known better.
Her face twisted with indignation before she spun toward Ethan.
"Are you seriously just going to stand there?"
The sharpness of her voice cut through the ballroom.
"Are you going to let them talk to me like that?"
Every eye immediately shifted to Ethan.
I felt Lucas move slightly closer beside me.
Not touching me.
Not interfering.
Simply there.
