    The news of Robert's death spread like an avalanche. There was no way to keep it hidden.Public opinion quickly split into two camps. Some mourned him, saying he was a star who had fallen before he could fully rise.The national ski team had suffered a tremendous loss.But far more people began digging up the past.Robert's fans banded together and repeatedly wrote petitions, sending them to the authorities overseeing the White Dove Rescue Team, the national skiing federation, and the relevant sports authorities.They asked just one question: had Captain Wilson's decisions during the mountain rescue actually complied with rescue protocols?They wanted to know why Robert had been abandoned when he was clearly closer, and why a professional rescue captain had offered the absurd excuse that she needed to avoid the appearance of favoritism.Finally, unable to withstand the pressure any longer, the higher authorities released the findings of their investigation."After investigation

    Blake went deathly pale with terror and screamed, "Help! Help! Someone's trying to kill me! Somebody, help!"The neighbors across the hall heard the commotion and opened their door. When they saw what was happening, they rushed over.It took several men working together to pull Irina away."Ma'am, please calm down! What's going on?""Wait! Is that someone lying on the floor?"One of the neighbors caught sight of Robert's body and sucked in a sharp breath. He immediately pulled out his phone and called the police.Several people held Irina back as she struggled relentlessly, her eyes never leaving Robert's corpse. She stared at him lying there without a trace of life, like some discarded piece of junk.Anders arrived soon afterward. The moment the young man entered and saw the scene, he froze in shock.The instant Irina saw him, she seemed to find strength from nowhere. She broke free of the people holding her and rushed over, grabbing him by the collar."Why did you lie to me?

    Irina's mind went blank.He'd gone home. Why hadn't he contacted her?He had no legs. How was he supposed to live on his own?Irina clenched both hands into fists and rasped out a thank-you. Then she turned and headed straight for the elevators.Blake hurried after her. "Irina, don't panic. Robert might just be angry with us and deliberately keeping his distance."As the elevator doors closed, Irina's trembling fingers dialed her teammate's number.The moment the call connected, she urgently asked, "Which residential complex in the old district caught fire yesterday?"The teammate on the other end gave her the name.Irina's face instantly turned as white as paper. That was... her home address.She could no longer keep her composure. The elevator was moving too slowly. She rushed out and took the stairs instead, taking two or three steps at a time.Her heart pounded wildly in her chest, harder than it ever had before.She rushed out of the hospital, hailed a taxi, and gave th

    Third-Person POVA shrill ringtone rang out in the team's lounge.Irina glanced at her phone and saw that it was Magnus calling. The moment she answered, a panicked voice came through."Irina, your house is on fire! The sensors show no signs of life inside. You need to confirm whether your brother is in there!"But there was too much noise on the other end of the phone.Irina could only make out fragments about a fire and her brother before the call disconnected.On the international awards podium, Irina's heart suddenly lurched twice, hard. She instinctively pressed a hand to her chest, frowning.She knew that feeling all too well.When she was little, the neighborhood kids had bullied Robert, leaving him crying in a corner. At home, her heart had suddenly begun racing.When Robert fell off his bike while learning to ride and scraped his knee until it bled, she had been asleep, yet her heart had started pounding just the same.There had even been a time when Robert accidenta

    The nurse turned the screen toward me. The transaction records showed that the money had been transferred out just ten minutes earlier.I recognized Irina's account as the recipient immediately.My hands trembling, I called her. She answered with obvious impatience. "What is it?"My eyelid twitched. "Did you transfer the money out of my account?"There was a brief silence on the other end."I did. The international competition is coming up, and Blake needs a new ski suit and skis. I have to make sure he's in the best possible condition."My head began to ring."But that was the money for my surgery..." I pleaded desperately. "Irina, the doctor said the infection will get worse if I don't have the surgery soon."She cut me off, her voice icy. "Robert, your surgery can wait, but Blake's competition can't. Can't you tell which one matters more? That's enough. I'm busy. I'm hanging up."The busy signal beeped in my ear.The nurse looked at me cautiously. "Mr. Wilson, what about t

    I looked at the phone screen.Under my post, my fans were speaking up in my defense.[Was the rescue team's decision really justified?][Isn't the principle of professional rescue to save the person who's closest first? Blake's circumstances are unfortunate, but that doesn't mean the rules should be ignored.]Some furious fans had gone to Blake's account to demand answers.Blake was sobbing. "I know everyone likes Robert more. I'm just the runner-up, after all."Irina turned to me. "Robert, I never thought you'd turn into this kind of person."I opened my mouth, wanting to explain that this wasn't what I'd intended.But Irina continued in a tone that left no room for argument. "To make up for the harm Blake has suffered, I've decided to bring him home. Your room gets plenty of sunlight, which makes it ideal for his recovery. So you'll give it to Blake for now."It took me several seconds to process what she'd just said."Irina! That's my room. It's what Mom and Dad left me!"
