Just One Touch
“Rogan stood near the doorway of the duke’s bedroom as Caroline rushed to her father’s bedside. Dr. Raines stepped away from the bed as Caroline crouched beside it, taking her father’s hand in both of hers. Rogan met the doctor’s gaze, and the physician sadly shook his head in answer to the unasked question.
The duke was going to die.
Rogan let out a harsh breath. The duke was a manipulative busybody, but his motives had always been pure. Everything Belvingham had done, he had done to protect Ca...roline. He would miss the old man, interference notwithstanding.
He looked back at the bed, at his wife staring stricken at her father’s pale face, and knew he had to be there for Caroline when the end came.
“He’s as comfortable as I can make him,” Raines murmured, joining Rogan near the doorway. “I’ve dosed him with laudanum so at least he won’t be in pain.”
“Do you have any idea what’s killing him?” Rogan asked quietly, not taking his eyes from Caroline.
Raines gave a sigh.MoreLess
