After what felt like an eternity, Xavier Grayson finally turned off the light and left.

The strong smell of alcohol dissipated quickly after he was gone, swept away by the fresh air flowing in through the window. The room fell so silent it was as if he had never been there at all.

Chloe Bishop opened her eyes. Tears had soaked through her pillowcase...

A week later, Nora had recovered her former peak condition. Caesor had been by her side throughout this period, and their relationship seemed to

    He blinked a few times and stayed silent.Afraid that Xavier Grayson might not believe him, the others quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's right. She always sent a man named Philip to contact us. Philip gave us a photo of Chloe Bishop and told us to kill her. He also paid us a huge sum of money."Xavier Grayson tapped his wine glass lightly. Beside him, Caesor adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, which gleamed in the light, and crossed his legs. "And what does this Philip look like?"One of the men replied, "He's tall and handsome. Monolid eyes. He has an earring in his left ear. Oh, and he has a mole on the left side of his chin."With such distinct features, it wouldn't be hard to find him. Caesor asked again, "Where did you meet? Brookfield or back home?""Back home. Philip said hiring people domestically was cheaper."Xavier Grayson let out a breath and found himself momentarily speechless.Caesor's presence wasn't far behind Xavier Grayson's, but with him around, Caesor usuall

    The men at the front swept their sharp gazes across the room. Finding nothing amiss and no one else present, they bowed respectfully and apologized. "Apologies, madam. We are Mr. Charlie's bodyguards, sent by Mr. Grayson to protect you."Chloe Bishop didn't recognize any of them, but as soon as she heard the name "Grayson," she felt at ease.Little did she know, the young nurse who had just approached the door was now crouched in a corner, clutching her chest and trembling.In the blink of an eye, this many bodyguards?Good thing she hadn't gone in—she wouldn't have known how she died.——Xavier Grayson sat with Caesor on an antique-style sofa, flipping through a stack of portraits. These were all the individuals involved in the riot.More than half of them had been killed or captured.Caesor pulled out a separate set of portraits—all American nationals—and handed them over. "Here are the ones from our country. I knew this wasn't just a coincidence."Xavier Grayson took them, flipped

    A young nurse pushed a cart into the room. Though she wore a mask, her eyes seemed to smile. "Miss Bishop, I'm here to apply your medicine."Chloe Bishop nodded, rolled up her sleeve, and revealed the scrapes on her arm.It wasn't really necessary—but Xavier insisted on three changes a day to prevent infection. The routine was starting to wear her out.The nurse clumsily popped open the cap of the medicine bottle. Chloe Bishop was absorbed in her sketches and only asked casually at the unusual sound, "New medicine?""Mm… yes," the nurse replied.Chloe Bishop didn't look up and continued studying the designs. The nurse drew liquid into a syringe—just as a knock came at the door.Startled, the nurse quickly put the syringe down and grabbed a cotton ball instead.Nora Fatehi and Gwen Grayson walked in. Gwen Grayson was beaming. From behind her back, she produced a giant teddy bear and handed it to Chloe Bishop. "Nora and I went to the market and found a claw machine. Spent some money and

    She slowly sat up and pressed the call bell. Just then, the door pushed open.Chloe Bishop didn't look at the nurse—she picked up her phone instead."Could you please check on my baby…"She looked up as she spoke—and froze.When she saw Xavier's gentle face, she was taken aback. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in New York City?"Xavier walked over, sat beside her, and gently placed a hand on her belly."When I heard the three of you were in danger, I came on a private jet. Last night wasn't a dream—you really did hold my hand and fall asleep."Chloe Bishop's gaze softened. She immediately opened her arms and hugged him. "I'm so glad you came. You have no idea how scared I was when I was alone. That was the closest I've ever come to death. I didn't even feel like this in South Africa."Xavier nodded. "We were prepared in South Africa. This time was different—it came out of nowhere."At that, she looked up curiously. "By the way, why would they attack a hospital? Even in a riot, tha

    Chloe Bishop stiffened for an instant, then turned her head—and saw Xavier's smiling eyes.She gave a faint smile and turned away again."I'm so tired I'm starting to see things," she murmured to herself, closing her eyes.But the tears slipping from the corners of her eyes cut straight through Xavier's heart.He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, took her hands in his, and gently wiped her tears away."Chloe, I came here on a private jet. I was terrified something might happen to you."His voice was soft and tender, careful not to add to her burden—so gentle that it felt dreamlike, almost unreal.Chloe Bishop nodded. "I know."She still thought this was all a dream.So she gripped his hand tightly, not opening her eyes, and whispered, "Don't leave yet. Stay here with me a little longer. Let me sleep. When I wake up, then you can go."Hearing her say that moved him more than words could express.This silly girl—can't even rest without worrying.He pressed a soft kiss to her fore

    Fortunately, the bullet hadn't hit her square—it only grazed her shoulder.Otherwise, she didn't know how she'd have made it through the rest of the escape.She looked around at the unfamiliar buildings, recognizing nothing. So she sat down to catch her breath.Just then, she heard footsteps—many of them—approaching from a distance.Instantly alert, she slipped into a room and grabbed a wooden club nearby. If anyone came in, she wouldn't hesitate to swing."Nora! Nora..."When she heard Caesor's voice, Nora Fatehi looked up with a start, hope surging in her chest."Caesor! I'm here!"Caesor spun around—and in that moment, it felt like a lifetime had passed.His clothes were soaked through with sweat, his damp hair plastered to his forehead, droplets trailing down his cheekbones and into his collar. When he saw her—really saw her—standing there alive...He licked his lips, then took off his glasses.And let out a small, tremulous laugh.Nora Fatehi rushed into his arms, tilted her head

    Outside the Operating Room.Chloe sat on a plastic chair, still wearing her million-dollar designer wedding dress. She was trembling, sitting as still as a lifeless mannequin. The dress, once pure and white, was now stained with dark, wet patches of blood. Against the crimson stains, her skin looke

    Chloe pinched the tiny scrap of black lace between her fingers, her expression filled with pure skepticism. "Are you serious? Is this even wearable?"Wouldn't just pinning him down be faster and more efficient? she thought.Bella rolled her eyes at Chloe’s lack of romantic vision. "What do you know

    “Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t

    Looking into Chloe’s bloodshot eyes, Liam withdrew his probing gaze. He lowered his eyelids, remaining silent and detached, his long lashes veiling whatever emotions stirred beneath.Chloe had always adored Liam’s physical perfection. Even now, standing there in the dim light, he looked like a flaw
