LOGINMeanwhile, in another hospital room, Crystal lay on the bed as the doctor examined her, while Luciano sat nearby, watching with concern.After a thorough examination, the doctor finally spoke."Nothing serious."Luciano frowned."How could it be nothing serious? She was having difficulty standing on her own. Did you check the bones?""Yes," the doctor nodded.But Luciano could hear the hesitation in his voice."Is anything broken?" he asked."No. It's only superficial injuries," the doctor explained."That's great," Luciano said with a sigh of relief."I'll prescribe an ointment for the affected area," the doctor added.Luciano nodded."Will she need to be admitted?""There's no need. She can go home," the doctor replied.Luciano glanced at Crystal, who was lying on the bed. She hadn't said a word since the examination ended."Crystal," he called.There was no response.Worried, Luciano moved closer.Only to discover that she had fallen fast asleep."That fast?" he thought.Then he re
Slade immediately left for the bathroom.Daxiel walked over to Arya and sat in front of her. He picked up the spoon and held it out to her.Arya didn't take it."My hands are injured. I can't feed myself. You have to do it," she said.Daxiel glanced at her bruised hands, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes."I really want to kill those three brothers again," his wolf muttered through gritted teeth.Daxiel picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and brought it to her mouth.Arya refused to open it."What now?" Daxiel muttered irritably."You should blow on it," Arya instructed.Daxiel's gaze darkened."Don't overstep your boundaries.""I'm not. The porridge is hot. It will burn my mouth," Arya replied with an aggrieved look.Daxiel wanted to slam the bowl onto the floor and walk away, but his wolf immediately warned him."Don't you dare. It's the least you owe her."Daxiel gritted his teeth in frustration.Finally, he brought the spoon closer to his lips and blew on i
"Kid," Daxiel muttered.Arya tried to open her eyes.After being plunged into darkness for so long, the sudden intensity of the light made her eyes twitch uncomfortably.She winced in pain."Ugh..."Slade's eyes became teary.His daughter was finally awake.Daxiel raised a hand to block the light from reaching her eyes.Arya's eyes finally opened.Daxiel didn't know when a slight smirk had formed on his face.His wolf breathed a sigh of relief."She's finally awake.""Water," Arya muttered.Her throat was so dry that she felt she might pass out from thirst at any moment.Slade quickly poured a glass of water and brought it to her lips, carefully helping her drink.But Arya took several large gulps and nearly choked.Slade gently patted her back."Easy," he murmured.When Arya had finally had enough, she pushed the glass away.Slade understood immediately and lowered it.Arya rested back against the pillow and closed her eyes weakly.Both Slade and Daxiel were at a loss for what to do.
Back at the hospital, Slade approached Finn once again and begged him to let him go inside.To his surprise, Finn agreed.They had both heard Daxiel's earlier instruction for Finn not to let anyone in, but Slade still decided to try.He looked at Crystal, and she nodded."I'll keep watch for you," she said.Slade gave her an appreciative smile and hurried into the ward.He sat beside Arya's bed. Her eyes were still closed.He let out a heavy sigh and held her hand."When will you wake up, dear?" he murmured.The doctor had said she should wake up within twenty-four hours.Twenty-four hours had already passed.He gently patted her hand."Papa is getting worried."Arya showed no reaction, and Slade could only sit there silently, holding her hand.Meanwhile, outside the ward, Crystal rested her head against the doorframe.Her eyelids felt heavy.She was both exhausted and sleepy.She had stayed beside Arya for more than twenty-four hours.She yawned loudly and covered her mouth."Gosh, A
"Shane, Ryan,” Kane muttered in disbelief.Shane and Ryan tried to muffle some words, but they couldn’t as their mouths were gagged.Luciano clapped his hands. “Talking stage over,” he said, then stepped back. “Let’s get down to business.”Daxiel stepped forward, holding a remote in his hand.The three brothers couldn’t tell what the remote was for, but they guessed it wasn’t for anything good.Daxiel kicked Kane off the chair, and he fell to his knees like his brothers.Four stepped forward and removed the gags from their mouths.They quickly began to plead, “Please let us go, we won’t do it again.”If only they knew their pleas were useless, Luciano thought.Or maybe they knew and just chose to live in denial.Four and Luciano stepped far backward.Then, click — Daxiel pressed a button on the remote.They wondered what it was for, but they weren’t left in confusion for long.The side where Daxiel was standing leveled up, and the remaining surfaces were soon covered with sharp blades.
Daxiel and Luciano arrived at Daxiel's mansion and immediately headed for the torture room.When they entered, they found Kane tied to a chair. A black cloth covered his eyes as he struggled and screamed hysterically."Let me go! Who the hell do you think you are to kidnap me?" he shouted."If my brothers find out where I am, they won't let you off the hook!"Daxiel walked up to him and said coldly,"I really want to find out what they would do to me."A chill ran down Kane's spine.He still couldn't understand how he had ended up here.According to the plan, he and his brothers were supposed to kidnap Arya.His role had been simple. He was to bring the electric chair they intended to use to execute her to the abandoned house in the middle of the forest.He had done exactly that.But when he arrived, his brothers weren't there.At first, he thought they had failed to capture Arya.So he turned around and headed back.However, before he could leave through the forest exit, something st
She continued enthusiastically,"He even agreed to be my boyfriend and bought me lots of clothes."At that point, Slade was stunned beyond words.Arya went on and on about everything Daxiel had done for her.For a moment, Slade wondered if he was hallucinating.How could that be possible?The Daxie
Slade hugged his daughter to himself, the happiness contained inside him couldn't Express in words So he just held to himself."Papa, did you miss me?" Arya said pulling away from her father looking at his face."How can I not miss my little trouble maker,Of course I do," Slade replied.Arya giggl
The next morning, Arya woke up to the call of nature.After washing up and changing into fresh clothes, she headed downstairs.As she descended the staircase, her thoughts drifted to yesterday's barbecue date.To be honest, it hadn't gone exactly as she had imagined. Finn and Luciano had interrupte
"Is someone there?" Arya wondered when she heard the stranger's voice.She lifted her head from Daxiel's chest and turned toward the newcomer.Her eyes widened in surprise.He looked strangely similar to Daxiel.At first glance, they didn't seem alike at all. The stranger had brown hair while Daxie
