To Love a Shadow To Be the Sun novel Chapter 355

The kiss left Elara breathless and weak, and when he finally released her, she sagged against his chest, gasping for air. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist to steady herself.

A low chuckle rumbled from his chest. "What's this? Can't bear to let go?"

Elara, regaining her composure, gave his chest a light tap. "How can you be so reckless in a place like this?"

Zane raised an eyebrow. "You won't let me kiss you in public, and now you won't let me do anything in private. Is that how a couple is supposed to act?"

His words left her speechless.

"Have you seen Jason today?" he asked.

Elara's gaze dropped. "Not yet."

"I've found him the best neurosurgeon," Zane said. "If he can't be cured, we'll just get him a new brain."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Elara quickly stepped out of his embrace. Zane, looking slightly annoyed, placed the container on his desk and called out, "Come in."

To Elara's surprise, it was Renata who entered.

"We've got the evidence on Ellis Vincent," she announced, her voice tinged with excitement. "The lab, supposedly for new energy battery research, is full of hazardous materials. We also have records of smuggling and proof that Neely was working for him. He's looking at life in prison, at least."

Before Elara could respond, Quincy Shelton burst into the room, his expression grave. "Bad news. We just received word. Ellis had a sudden heart attack in custody. They couldn't revive him. He's dead."

In less than a minute, Elara's emotions had been on a roller coaster. "A heart attack?" she said in disbelief. "I'd believe it if you told me he starved to death, but a heart attack? Brian never mentioned he had any heart problems."
