sorry about—about Marco.’ She had to say it, even though the nurse had indicated that Franco wasn’t ready to talk about his best friend. ‘But you must know as well as I do that I don’t belong here.’

      ‘I want you here,’ he stated grimly.

      Lexi shook her head. ‘You’re going to be OK. In a couple of days you’ll be wondering why you wanted me to come here at all.’

      ‘I know exactly why I want you here.’

      Ignoring that, ‘I’m going back to London,’ she said.

      ‘Go through that door and I will pull out these tubes and come right after you, Lexi,’ Franco warned her flatly.

      She uttered yet another sigh. ‘Why would you want to do something as stupid as that?’

      ‘I told you.’ The line of his mouth was severely compressed now, ‘We need to talk.’

      ‘We can talk through our lawyers.’ Lexi continued determinedly towards the door.

      ‘You will have this particular talk to my face, cara, because I don’t want a divorce.’

      She swung round yet again. ‘Until today we haven’t so much as spoken a word or set eyes on each other for three and a half years!’ Lexi reminded him. ‘Of course you want a divorce. I want a divorce.’

      That said, she turned and reached for the door handle, heard a sound from behind her that sent a cold chill racing down her spine, and spun right back to discover that Franco was sitting up and attempting to pluck out the shunt from his hand. But his coordination was obviously wrecked by the drugs.

      ‘What do you think you are you doing?’ Shrieking alarm sent Lexi darting back to the bed to cover his hand and the shunt with her both of her own hands in an effort to stop him, but he just changed tack and threw back the covering sheet instead. Even as she tried to grab it the cage went flying onto the floor. The next shock wave hit her when she saw for the first time what the cage and sheet had been covering up. More bandaging strapped one powerfully structured thigh, but it wasn’t that that shocked. Even in the gloom she could see the sickening extent of his bruising, which spread right the way down his left side.
