Alicia swallowed. Her throat felt so dry that it resembled sandpaper. Even speaking felt difficult, yet she forced herself to answer. “…Yes.”“Excellent.” Doctor Drake moved closer and produced a small penlight. “Follow the light for me.” He shone it into her eyes. Alicia winced at the brightness but obeyed.Her gaze followed the moving beam as it shifted from side to side. After several seconds, he clicked the penlight off.“Pupils look good,” he commented, then he made a brief note before looking back at her.“Do you know your name?”Her brow furrowed. For a moment, she simply stared at him.The answer should have been easy, yet strangely, it took a few seconds to surface, and her lips moved almost instinctively. “Alicia Sawyers.”“Good.”“And do you know where you are right now?”Alicia glanced around the room briefly. The sterile smell, the medical equipment, and the white walls all made the answer obvious.“I am in a hospital.”“Correct.”Drake glanced down at his tablet again be

The timing, the location, and even the series of events…all felt too deliberate.For several long seconds, Daniel's gaze lingered on Ethan. There was something about the entire situation that refused to sit right with him. Too many coincidences had aligned perfectly, too perfectly that it felt odd. And Daniel had long ago stopped believing in such coincidences. After weighing everything in his mind, he ultimately chose to let the matter rest for now.He leaned back on the chair helplessly then his thoughts drifted back to the mark he had seen the previous night. Immediately, his expression darkened. “What about that person?” he asked quietly. “Have you found any leads?”Ethan instinctively swallowed. A trace of tension flashed across his face as he looked into the rearview mirror. “None,” he admitted.Daniel's gaze shifted toward the passing scenery outside the window. “It's been eight years,” he murmured.“But, sir...” Ethan started. Before he could continue, Daniel interrupted hi

“You will have to spend the day with her. Under no circumstances should she be discharged without my consent,” he warned calmly, his tone carrying an authority that left little room for argument.“I understand,” she answered immediately, lowering her head.Daniel's brow furrowed slightly. He suddenly had the distinct feeling that the woman had completely misunderstood what he meant.“She is too badly injured to leave without proper treatment and adequate healing,” he clarified without delay. “I hope you will persuade her to stay when she wakes up.”“But I am only a paid caregiver, not her boyfriend,” Esther replied cautiously, keeping her head lowered. “I doubt she would listen to me.”As she spoke, she dared to steal a brief glance at the man standing before her.Looking at this demigod-like figure, she had absolutely no desire to offend him and accidentally find herself caught in the crossfire of his displeasure.Besides, after witnessing everything he had done for the woman, she co

Alicia's brow knitted together as though she had heard every single word that left his mouth. The faint crease between her brows deepened slightly, giving her unconscious face an almost stubborn appearance.Daniel noticed it immediately.Without thinking, he reached out and gently rubbed the space between her brows with his thumb, smoothing away the frown as though he found it unpleasant to look at.“There's no need to frown,” he said quietly. “If you really die, then I will assume you are quite willing to do so.”The words had barely left his lips when Alicia's fingers twitched. Once. Twice. Then several times in rapid succession before becoming still again.The movement was subtle enough that most people would have missed it entirely, but Daniel's sharp eyes caught every single motion.A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.For some reason, he could almost imagine her opening her eyes and immediately arguing with him.He could practically hear her voice scolding him for sa

Lucas fell silent immediately after hearing that.Meanwhile, Dalton suddenly smirked before turning toward Prisca. “Hey, P, relax a little tonight.”At that exact moment, another handsome young man stepped into the room. No doubt he is a gigolo. Prisca’s eyes widened instantly as disbelief crossed her face. “Dalton, are you serious?”“Completely serious,” Dalton replied calmly. “I just hope you won’t end up being the only one left out of the fun.”Prisca instinctively glanced toward Daniel, wanting to read his expression, but his face remained completely blank as though it did not matter to him who she chose to be with.Her shoulders slumped immediately. “Not interested,” she muttered unhappily as she folded her arms.Meanwhile, Daniel remained seated quietly with the cigarette balanced lazily between his fingers. His gaze looked distant, almost absent-minded, as though his thoughts had drifted somewhere far beyond the noisy private room.Then suddenly, he felt movement beside him.

“No boyfriend, dude.” She retorted. Daniel looked genuinely surprised. “None?” Almost instantly, Prisca’s cheeks flushed red. The reaction alone answered everything. Daniel nodded knowingly. “A secret crush? Who is he?” Having her thoughts exposed so directly, Prisca immediately slapped his shoulder. “That’s rude to say to someone who has been waiting so patiently for your return.” Her embarrassed expression only made the others inside the room burst into laughter. “Enough, both of you.” The one who spoke was Dalton. A fair, exceptionally handsome young man with amused brown eyes and an easygoing aura. He rose from the couch with a grin while shaking his head helplessly at their childish exchange. “You two are still exactly the same.” He knew perfectly well where that discussion was headed, and he had absolutely no intention of allowing it to continue. Tonight had already taken too many unexpected turns, and the last thing he needed was unnecessary emotional drama ruining t

Albert’s expression stiffened instantly. His gaze darkened as he stared at Daniel across the table. “You…” Daniel leaned back slightly in his chair, completely relaxed despite the heavy tension filling the room. “I truly wonder whether Altman Drake is aware that you scare away investors and busin

Daniel exited the hospital and released a long breath of relief. The cool evening breeze washed over him gently and, for the first time in hours, the heavy smell of antiseptic slowly faded from his senses. The atmosphere outside felt entirely different from the suffocating tension inside the eme

The nurse hesitated briefly before answering honestly. “It’s difficult to say for certain. It depends entirely on how her body responds to both the surgery and the trauma.”Daniel’s gaze returned to Alicia.Even while unconscious, exhaustion was written all over her pale face. She looked like someo

The doctor gave a small nod in acknowledgment, visibly relieved by Daniel’s response. The tension that had been sitting heavily on his shoulders seemed to ease slightly after hearing Daniel agree without further arguments.“I’ll have her moved to the ward,” the doctor said promptly.“Make it a priv
