“Uncle Shane! Stephanie is missing! We were playing near the river and then she was gone!” Jane said, eyes wide and innocent. Shane’s face went pale. He and Jane immediately ran back to the river area to look for her. That’s when they saw her. In the distance, Stephanie was half in the water, half on the bank, desperately trying to drag a boy out. Her face was blue from the cold and she was shaking, but she refused to let go. “Stephanie!” Shane shouted. He and two other men rushed in and helped her. Together, they pulled both children out of the river. Stephanie was on the verge of drowning herself. She had used the last of her strength to keep Nathan’s head above water. Both children were rushed to the hospital immediately. Nathan had swallowed a lot of water and had a fever for three days. Stephanie had a bad cold, but she recovered quickly. Although Stephanie was unconscious and didn’t say a word, Mr Robinson knew that no one would dare try to harm his grandson

She was afraid that her mother would make a move on Stephanie children first and that would trigger Stephanie to post the pictures on the internet, If Margaret found out Jane was still seeing Jorge, she would lose it. Two years ago, Margaret had warned her: to cut ties with Jorge.saying he was useless. And would ruin her . She had told Jane to focus on being Nathan’s wife , even if Nathan doesn’t love her and would never touch her , at least they would continue loving life of luxury . Jane had promised she had cut ties with Jorge . If her mother found out she lied, she would be in even more trouble. Margaret stopped pacing and looked at her daughter. Disappointment, fury, and fear all warred on her face. “You’re stupid, Jane,” Margaret said coldly. “You can’t even do anything tight . Just hope that does your accomplice doesn’t betray you. If not , even if Nathan doesn’t come for you , the police would . After all kidnapping is illegal. Jane’s jaw clenched. In her heart, a vo

5:00 AM.Jane woke up feeling groggy and disgusted.Her back ached. Her hair smelled like cheap detergent. And her skin itched from the scratchy hotel blanket.She had stayed in a small, rundown hotel on the outskirts of Star City last night because she was terrified of going home.Mr. Robinson, Nathan’s grandfather, had assured her yesterday night that "Nathan wouldn’t dare touch her."But Jane knew Nathan better than anyone. They had grown up together.If Nathan was determined to do something, no one could stop him. Not even Mr. Robinson.Jane was afraid that Nathan would send his men to her house in the middle of the night to drag her away. So she made the decision to disappear for a few hours.Staying in a five-star hotel was out of the question. Most of the luxury hotels in Star City were owned by Robinson Group. It wouldn’t take Nathan 10 minutes to find out which room she was in.So for the first time in her life, Jane slept in a cheap motel.The moment she walked into the room

Nathan also knew that Stephanie wouldn’t tell him anything until he woke up. So he forced himself to close his eyes and drift into sleep.He lay down on the stiff hospital bed and stared at the white ceiling for a while. The antiseptic smell, , the dull ache in his shoulder... it all made it difficult for him to sleep . He exhaled deeply , shut his eyes, and let exhaustion take over.A few minutes later, his breathing evened out. He had finally drifted off to sleep.Watching his steady breathing, Stephanie let out a quiet sigh of relief. For now, she had avoided the conversation. But deep down, she knew she wouldn’t be able to dodge it when he woke up. The question was already hanging in the air between them: But she needed time to think. What exactly was she going to say?A few minutes later, the door opened softly and Nicholas and Henry walked back in. Both of them looked tired, but concerned.Stephanie turned to them and forced a calm smile. “Nathan woke up earlier after the doct

Morning light crept through the thin hospital curtains.7:15 AM.Room 301 was quiet except for the steady beep of the heart monitor.Nathan was still not awake.The oxygen mask was gone. The ventilator was gone. In their place was just a thin tube of oxygen under his nose and the heavy bandage on his shoulder. His face was still pale, but there was color in his cheeks now. She knew that Nathan wasn’t awake yet , because Henry would have called to inform her if Nathan was awake.Stephanie walked into the room carrying a themos containing a warm water for Nathan.She had not slept a wink last night , the incident of last night kept replaying in her head. She and Nathan wasn’t that close but when he saw she was in danger , he had rushed in to save her . How could she not feel touch .When Stephanie walked in , Nicholas wax still asleep . He was coiled up in a small sofa in the room fast asleep. He must have dozed off for an hour because even when Stephanie walked in , he didn’t open h

The hospital was unnaturally quiet at 1:40 AM.Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting a cold white glow across the empty corridors. The smell of antiseptic stung Stephanie’s nose the moment she stepped through the automatic doors.Her heels clicked against the polished floor as she rushed to the reception desk. Her hands were trembling.“Excuse me,” she said, voice hoarse. “I’m looking for Nathan Robinson. He was brought in about 30 minutes ago. Gunshot wound.”The nurse looked up, then down at her computer. “Room 301. ICU. Only family is allowed for now.”Stephanie nodded and ran.When she reached the third floor, Nicholas was already there. He was leaning against the wall outside Room 301, arms crossed, his jaw tight. Henry stood beside him, his shirt still stained with Nathan’s blood.The moment Nicholas saw her, his eyes narrowed.“You came,” he said coldly.Stephanie ignored the accusation in his tone. “How is he?”“The bullet missed his vital organs,” Henry answered before
