Cecilia stared blankly at the doctor’s troubled expression, a sharp pain gripping her chest.

It wasn’t physical pain—it was a swell of fear and despair she couldn’t fully comprehend.

She had always believed she was perfectly healthy. Not once had she imagined something like this.

“Breathe. Deep breaths,” the doctor urged, supporting her shoulders. “Inhale… slowly… and exhale…”

After several repetitions, Cecilia’s breathing finally steadied, though her face remained ghost-pale.

Her fingers trembled as she clutched the doctor’s arm.

“Why… why would this happen? I take care of myself. I’ve always been healthy. Why would—why would something like this happen?”

The doctor spoke gently.

“There’s no need to panic. It isn’t irreversible. With treatment and proper care, your body will recover.”

Cecilia released her arm and sank back into the pillows, defeated.

“I understand.” Her voice was barely audible. “Thank you for telling me.”

The doctor awkwardly turned away, preparing to step out.

    Hugh watched the way she hovered over the book, clearly wanting to touch it but not daring to.He chuckled. "If you like it, go ahead and take a look. Don't worry about it."Cecilia's eyes lit up. Only after receiving permission did she carefully lift the book with both hands and hold it in front of her.She examined the cover and the binding first, then gently turned to the inner pages."You know your way around this?" Hugh asked, a little surprised."My mother loved medieval manuscripts when she was alive," Cecilia explained softly, though her gaze was already completely absorbed by the pages. "I picked up a little just from being around her."As she continued reading, her focus deepened. When she turned the pages, her fingers trembled slightly with excitement.Seeing her reaction, Hugh leaned forward unconsciously. His tone carried both curiosity and expectation. "So--what do you see?"Cecilia nodded repeatedly, her words coming faster than before."This really is the handwriting o

    When they returned to the ward, Robin had already finished eating.He was lounging comfortably on the sofa, long legs crossed and propped casually against the edge of the coffee table.Seeing them come in, he raised his brows and teased, "You know, have the two of you ever considered being apart for more than a few minutes? You're glued together all day long--it's getting nauseating even to look at."Liam didn't bother responding. He walked straight to the bed, adjusted Cecilia's pillow, pulled the blanket up to her shoulders, and spoke softly."Get some sleep. Later, I'll cook you some light porridge myself.""Okay," Cecilia replied quietly. She turned onto her side to face the window, deliberately cutting off her line of sight toward Robin.Robin snorted through his nose and swung his foot lazily. "Look at you, waiting on someone hand and foot. You're really dragging the reputation of men down with you."Only then did Liam turn around, as if suddenly remembering something. In a casu

    When they returned to the ward and had just pushed the door open, both of them froze.Robin was sprawled boldly at the coffee table in the small sitting area, head down and eating with gusto.Several insulated food containers were spread out in front of him, filled with rich dishes.Hearing the movement, he looked up, cheeks puffed out as he spoke through a mouthful of food."Well, at least you've got some conscience. Knowing I'd be starving after major surgery and saving food for me."Cecilia's eyes landed on the glossy braised meat and fresh shrimp on the table. The strong smell of food hit her head-on.Her face changed instantly. She shot up from the wheelchair and staggered toward the bathroom, nearly stumbling as she rushed inside.The door slammed shut behind her with a bang.Liam's face darkened immediately. He took several steps toward the bathroom door, pacing once in agitation as the sound of dry retching came from inside.Robin swallowed the food in his mouth with effort, l

    Outside the VIP ward at Robehod Hospital.Two maids who had been sent to deliver food stood stiffly against the corridor wall, hands folded in front of them, faces tight with unease.When they saw Liam approaching, they lowered their heads even further.Liam didn't slow down. He pushed the ward door open directly.Just as he lifted the paper bag in his hand, Cecilia, who was lying on the bed, suddenly raised her arm to cover her mouth and nose, shrinking back instinctively."What is that smell...take it away!" Her voice was muffled behind her hand, thick with discomfort, and her face went noticeably paler.Liam stopped short. Slightly surprised, he opened the bag and held it up."It's the bread rolls from the place you're always talking about. Fresh out of the oven."Cecilia flicked a glance at it, then immediately turned her face away, brows tightly drawn. "It smells strange...Are you sure it's still fresh?""How could it not be?" Liam laughed softly, picked up one of the rolls, and

    The top-floor at SCA.Liam sat behind the broad desk and connected Gia's phone to a data cable.The screen lit up. He entered the password he had just cracked and went straight to the call history.The list was unnervingly clean. Among the recent calls, only one name appeared over and over again: Elva.His brows knit slightly.Elva had asked Gia to meet? Judging from the collision marks on the vehicle at the scene and the scattered personal items, it was clearly not a normal meeting. It looked far more like a premeditated ambush.Yet as far as he knew, the two women had always been friends.He pressed the intercom button. "Check Elva's attendance for today."Ida's reply came quickly. "Sir, Elva called in sick today. She didn't come to work."Sick leave.Liam leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly against the desk. On the phone screen, the last several call records were all from yesterday evening--every single one an unanswered call to Elva.He picked up the phone and di

    At last, the men stepped back.Elva checked the camera screen, then powered it off and slipped it back into her bag.She walked slowly toward Gia and crouched down in front of her.Gia was tied to the tree, her head hanging limply.Hearing footsteps, she lifted her eyelids with extreme effort. Her unfocused gaze slowly settled on Elva's face. Suddenly, summoning the last of her strength, she spat forward--blood-tinged saliva landing at Elva's feet."Karma..." Gia's voice was so hoarse it was barely audible, yet filled with vicious resolve. "Even if...even if I'm like this now...as long as I'm still alive...I'll live better than you ever will..."Elva tilted her head slightly, unangered.She reached out and gently brushed her fingertips across Gia's swollen, split cheek, the gesture almost tender."What a shame," she murmured, as if sighing. "Such a face...even without makeup, it's enough to captivate anyone."She took a small transparent glass vial from her coat pocket. Inside was a c
