LOGINHe and his brother had worked under Desmond for many years, so no matter what happened, they still trusted him quite a bit.Compared to their previous employers, Desmond had always treated the two brothers far better.After calming Finn down, Desmond immediately went to report the incident to Lucas.But before making the call, he arranged for someone to pull the hospital surveillance footage.The only problem was that there were still no results yet.When Lucas received the call, he was still at home.The moment he answered, Desmond’s anxious voice came through the phone.“Mr. Carter, something happened at the hospital.”Lucas frowned instantly.“What happened? Why do you sound so panicked?”Too many things had happened recently, one crisis arriving before he had even recovered from the last.As a result, his tone was far from gentle.But Desmond failed to notice any of that and answered seriously,“There’s been a problem at the hospital. One of the men guarding the room was injured, a
Right now, there was no point arguing over who was right or wrong.The priority was finding the man who caused all of this in the first place.Desmond could obviously hear the resentment hidden in Finn’s words, but he chose not to argue back.Because if their positions had been reversed, he knew he would have been furious too.If his superior had answered the phone in time, then maybe none of this would have happened to Ray.“You’re right,” Desmond admitted seriously. “That part really was my fault. I was stuck in an important meeting at the time, so I missed your calls.”Then he looked at Finn seriously and promised,“Don’t worry. From this point forward, all of Ray’s medical expenses will be covered by the company. “And I promise you this—you and your brother won’t go unnoticed after everything you’ve done. I’ll personally make sure Mr. Carter knows exactly what the two of you did tonight.”Only then did Finn finally nod in satisfaction.As long as Desmond acknowledged the efforts h
“What happened here?”After steadying his breathing, Desmond finally spoke.His eyes swept across the hallway in confusion.Before this, he had specifically arranged for two men to guard the hospital room, yet now only Finn remained sitting outside the emergency ward.That alone was enough to make Desmond realize something had gone terribly wrong.Not only was only one person left, but Finn himself looked exhausted and shaken.The moment Desmond saw that, he immediately understood that something serious must have happened.Otherwise, Finn would have been standing guard outside Daniel’s room instead of sitting here looking so defeated.After all, this was supposed to be their shift.There was no reason for him to be here unless something had happened.Once Desmond figured that out, his expression instantly turned grim.“Where’s your brother?” he asked sharply. “Why are you here alone?”As he spoke, his gaze instinctively shifted toward the emergency room doors.Was Ray inside?Finn stil
The moment Finn saw his brother collapsed on the floor, he immediately rushed over.Dropping to his knees, Finn’s eyes instantly reddened. He reached out and shook the unconscious Ray in panic.“Ray! What happened to you? What the hell happened?”Finn could not understand it at all.Everything had still been fine when he left just moments ago.His brother had only been confronting that doctor at the door, so how had he suddenly ended up unconscious on the floor?Who would even believe something like this?Beside him, the hospital director adjusted his glasses calmly.“Young man, step back for a moment and let me examine him first. Shaking a patient like this isn’t a good idea.”Finn hurriedly moved aside and gave the director space.“Dr. Watson, please… I’m begging you,” Finn said, his voice already choking up. “He’s my only family. You have to save him. I don’t even know what happened to him.”At that moment, regret overwhelmed him.If he had known things would turn out like this, he
He could not help asking about it.But the guard who spoke first immediately stopped Joseph.“What’s the problem? My partner just suddenly needed to use the restroom. You’re not saying he’s not even allowed to do that, are you?”Joseph did not believe that explanation for a second.The two of them had been standing here the entire time without mentioning anything about leaving, yet the moment he arrived, one of them suddenly needed the restroom?Just thinking about it made it obvious something was wrong.Up until now, Joseph actually believed he was doing a decent job acting like a real doctor.He had even been secretly impressed with himself for not exposing any flaws.But now, realization finally hit him.They had probably seen through him long ago.These guards had simply been playing along while stalling for time.Joseph instantly understood he could not stay here any longer.Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble would follow?If this attempt failed, there could still be another
If he blew his cover now, then everything he had done up until this point would have been for nothing.Forget how furious Yvonne would be afterward—even Joseph himself would never forgive his own failure.Since he had already decided to do this, then he had to see it through to the end.Otherwise, even he would despise himself for backing out halfway.After all, he had already promised Yvonne that this mission would either succeed or destroy him trying.There was no way Joseph could tolerate failure.So, he quickly began covering for himself.“Our hospital already held meetings about this incident before,” Joseph explained smoothly. “That’s why security and monitoring have become much stricter afterward.“That’s also why the hospital specifically sent me over to keep a closer eye on Mr. Lewis’ condition. Leaving him here alone without additional supervision would make the hospital uneasy too.”Joseph spoke with complete confidence, not even blinking as he faced the two guards.In his m
With the truth exposed, Grace lost all interest in the celebration, and the banquet ended on a sour note. Lucas and Aurora drove home in silence. The moment they stepped through the front door, Lucas’ gaze turned intense and possessive. His dark, brooding eyes locked onto Aurora, as if he want
Aurora glanced nervously at Lucas, who returned a look as if urging her not to run away, but to confront the situation directly.Gathering her courage, she reluctantly lowered the window and stared at Joseph in confusion. “Joseph, do you need something?”Joseph’s eyes fell upon Lucas in the car, mom
Aurora’s heartbeat quickened even more, and her face burned as if it were on fire. She turned away, lowering her voice. "It’s really nothing, just a small injury." "Small injury?" Lucas’ one carried a trace of restrained anger. "Your face is this swollen, and you’re still calling it ‘just a sm
Aurora lifted her gaze subtly, her expression unreadable as she took in the sight of a man standing outside the store.He wore a baseball cap and a face mask, his posture slightly hunched as he watched her and Megan intently.Something about him felt familiar.A second glance confirmed it.It was Jo
