In Chapter 181 of \u201cWings of Broken Time\u201d by Alina Das, Finley finds himself in a hospital, watching his adopted sister, Honora, animatedly speaking on the phone. Despite the serene garden outside, Finley is consumed by conflicting emotions, particularly regarding Honora\u2019s recent omission about Leopold\u2019s intentions toward Larissa. This deliberate exclusion raises suspicions in Finley\u2019s mind, leading him to question Honora\u2019s motives: is she genuinely protective of Leopold, or is she deflecting blame onto Larissa?<\/p>\n
As Finley reflects on his feelings of estrangement from Larissa, he recalls her past trauma and the possibility that Honora might have played a role in it. This realization fuels his urgency to ensure that Leopold investigates the incident surrounding Larissa\u2019s earlier danger. Finley\u2019s anxiety heightens as he wonders if any significant information has surfaced from Leopold\u2019s inquiries. His internal turmoil is interrupted when Paxton, his father, confronts him about the accuracy of Honora\u2019s account, prompting Finley to tread carefully with his words.<\/p>\n
When Paxton demands that Finley not disclose that Leopold instigated the conflict with Larissa, Finley grapples with the moral implications of this directive. He understands that revealing the truth would jeopardize their family\u2019s standing and chooses to comply with his father\u2019s wishes, despite the weight of the truth pressing on him. The chapter takes a somber turn as Sapphira informs Finley that Leopold has survived surgery but remains in a coma, leaving uncertainty about his recovery.<\/p>\n
Larissa, who is present, expresses her hope for Leopold\u2019s awakening, but her thoughts are complicated by her own feelings of guilt and a desire for confrontation. Although she acknowledges the danger Leopold posed to her life, she is determined to make him understand the consequences of his actions. As she contemplates her next steps, she questions whether her return to the family has only brought chaos, reflecting her inner turmoil and the complex dynamics at play within her family.<\/p>\n

\n**Chapter 181**<\/p>\n
Within the sterile confines of the hospital wing, Finley found himself standing beside a large window, his gaze fixed on the garden below. There, amidst the vibrant flowers and the gentle rustle of leaves, his adopted sister, Honora, was engaged in an animated phone conversation. She appeared completely absorbed in her discussion, her expressions shifting rapidly from concern to determination. Yet, as he watched her, Finley\u2019s mind was a whirlpool of conflicting thoughts.<\/p>\n
Earlier that day, when Honora had recounted the events that transpired, she had conveniently omitted a crucial detail: Leopold\u2019s bold declaration of his intent to pursue Larissa. Finley couldn\u2019t shake the nagging feeling that this omission was deliberate. Was Honora truly acting out of a protective instinct for Leopold, or was she merely attempting to deflect responsibility onto Larissa?<\/p>\n
For the first time, a disquieting sense of estrangement washed over him regarding the girl he had always perceived as a beacon of purity and kindness. Memories of Larissa\u2019s haunting words echoed through his mind\u2014how someone had orchestrated a plot to harm her before she was returned to the fold of their family. And that someone, he couldn\u2019t help but suspect, was none other than Honora herself.<\/p>\n
This realization ignited a fire of urgency within him. It was precisely why he had urged Leopold, who was already delving into Larissa\u2019s tumultuous past, to investigate that incident as well. He felt a growing anxiety, wondering if Leopold\u2019s men had unearthed any significant information in their search.<\/p>\n
Just then, Paxton approached, his presence steady and commanding as he took note of his eldest son\u2019s distant demeanor. \u201cYou were present today. Was Honora\u2019s account accurate?\u201d he inquired, his voice steady but laced with an underlying tension.<\/p>\n
Finley paused, weighing his words carefully. \u201cThe meeting with the client was genuine, and yes, Larissa did arrive, leading to a confrontation between us. It\u2019s just\u2026 there\u2019s more to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMore to it?\u201d Paxton\u2019s expression hardened, his brows knitting together in concern.<\/p>\n
After a moment\u2019s hesitation, Finley felt the weight of truth pressing upon him. \u201cLeopold didn\u2019t return with us. He made it abundantly clear that he intended to confront Larissa, so\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
So, it was Leopold who had instigated the conflict first.<\/p>\n
Before Finley could finish articulating his thoughts, Paxton raised a hand, silencing him with a gesture. \u201cThat\u2019s enough. What matters is that the initial part of your statement is true. The rest is inconsequential! Do not breathe a word of that last part to your grandfather or anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finley opened his mouth as if to protest, but the words caught in his throat. He understood the implications of his father\u2019s directive all too well. Admitting that Leopold had been the aggressor would strip them of their moral high ground, a precarious position they could not afford to weaken.<\/p>\n
Finally, he acquiesced with a nod. \u201cI understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the clock struck eight that evening, Sapphira entered the room, carrying a container of food that Wren had thoughtfully provided.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour father just had a conversation with the doctor,\u201d she announced, settling herself into a chair across from Finley. \u201cLeopold has made it through surgery, but he remains in a coma. Whether he will awaken is still uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larissa, who had been quietly contemplating the situation, nodded slowly. \u201cI hope he wakes up.\u201d After a brief pause filled with unspoken fears, she asked, \u201cWhich room is he in?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sapphira opened the container, revealing an assortment of dishes, carefully laid out. \u201cHe\u2019s on the floor above, in room 712, the VIP suite. But first, eat something. Don\u2019t let your mind wander to darker thoughts just yet. And please, don\u2019t visit him out of a sense of guilt. Paxton and Vivica are probably seething with anger at you right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larissa accepted the utensils, her grip steady. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t go looking for trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n
But in her heart, she felt no guilt. Leopold had made the first move, attempting to take her life. Yet, she had a plan brewing in her mind, one that required her to confront him. She needed him to understand the folly of his actions, to see the bigger picture of their twisted reality. For that plan to unfold, he needed to survive\u2014not that she believed her small crash could have truly ended his life, especially with Crispin managing the immediate crisis.<\/p>\n
Still, she knew that Leopold\u2019s room would likely be under tight security. She needed a strategy to draw his guards away, to create an opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom,\u201d she said suddenly, pausing mid-bite, \u201cdo you think I\u2019m just a curse? That bringing me back has only brought chaos to our family?\u201d<\/p>\n
In the dim light of the hospital room, the weight of unspoken truths hung heavily in the air, binding Finley, Larissa, and their family in a web of conflicting loyalties and hidden agendas. Finley\u2019s heart ached as he watched his sister grapple with her own demons, her question echoing with the pain of uncertainty. The fragile threads of their relationships were fraying, each revelation threatening to unravel the delicate fabric of their family. As he stood at the precipice of understanding, he felt the gravity of his silence, the burden of protecting his family at the cost of honesty. The urgency to confront the shadows lurking in their past and present loomed large, and he realized that the path forward would require not just courage, but a reckoning with the truths they had long avoided.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Larissa\u2019s resolve began to crystallize amidst her turmoil. The chaos she feared she had brought upon her family was, in fact, a catalyst for change\u2014a chance to confront the very darkness that threatened to consume them all. Her determination to engage with Leopold, to challenge him and shed light on the complexities of their intertwined fates, signified a pivotal moment in her emotional journey. As she prepared for the confrontation ahead, a flicker of hope ignited within her. Perhaps, by facing their shared past and the consequences of their actions, they could forge a new path, one that would allow them to rise above the chaos and reclaim their lives. In this moment of introspection, both Finley and Larissa understood that the journey towards healing would be fraught with challenges, but it was a journey they were now willing to embark upon together.<\/p>\n
