Chapter 242

Author: Edelweiss W.S.
I threw my arms around Claire and held her tightly, feeling her tremble in my embrace.

"Thank you, Sebastian…"

"It's alright. It will be alright," I said.

I called Metis as our car sped toward the hospital.

The call connected almost instantly.

"Hello?" Her smooth, calm voice came through the line.

"It's me, Dr. Fay. There's trouble, and I need your help," I began. "A friend's grandmother is suffering from cardiac failure. She's lost consciousness, spat blood, and hasn't regained it. We're on our way to Unity Hospital now. Can you help us treat her?"

"I'll do my best," Metis replied solemnly. "Give me her room number, and I'll rush over. As for whether my expertise can help… I need to examine her personally to know for sure."

The call ended.

Metis ignored the long line of patients waiting outside her clinic and got into her car.

Predictably, her patients were not happy.

"Dr. Fay? What gives? Why is the clinic closed all of a sudden?"

"It's about to be my turn! Don't go!"

  • Goodbye, Saintess.   Chapter 454

    Zlatan let out a greasy chuckle, though the vicious glint in his eyes was impossible to miss.Hera trembled, clutching me even tighter."No, my husband's rich," she said desperately, her voice quivering. "A few hundred is nothing to him. It's just pocket change!"Her eyes filled with tears as she looked up at me. "Sebastian, I know I hurt you before. I was wrong. Back then, I was just too busy. But later on, I helped our parents solve that issue, didn't I?"I frowned, caught off guard. "You solved it?" Hera nodded quickly, her words stirring memories I had long buried.After she rejected me that day, I'd been cornered and out of options. I had taken out a loan to deal with my parents' sudden financial crisis. But two days after I sent the money, they transferred it all back, saying everything had been handled and no one was coming after them anymore.So that was her doing?For a moment, my expression softened. I didn't know what to feel—anger, surprise, or something else entir

    "Let go right now!"Zlatan looked up and saw the cold indifference on my face. He assumed they did not know each other, and his temper flared. He lunged forward, brutal and determined, trying to wrench Hera from me."No, he's my husband, Sebastian! Don't you dare separate us! Dear husband, say something. Please, you weren't like this before!"Zlatan's eyes went murderous. Hera froze, panic written across her face, and she stared at me with a pain that cut.Back then, Sebastian had protected her as if his life depended on it. He would step between her and any threat without a second thought. He had coddled her."Back then I complained you were annoying and meddlesome. But now you don't care anymore?"Hera's tears had almost dried. It felt as if the most important thing inside her had been ripped away.I heard her words and snorted inwardly. She had already given me the reason."I don't want to meddle anymore," I said coolly, meeting her with indifference. "Let go.""No! No, you

    Hera could accept that her company had collapsed. She owed money, and debts had to be paid. She had accepted that as well. However, no matter how those men mocked or shoved her around, she could endure it.But one thing Hera would never allow—no one insulted Sebastian in front of her."You still got the nerve to talk back?" sneered the man with the gold chain. "No one can compare? No one can replace? Hah!"He spat on the ground, his tone dripping with contempt. "Then why don't you get your man to pay off your debts, huh?"Hera stayed silent. Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell onto the dirt. Of course she wanted to see Sebastian again. But he didn't want to see her. Maybe even Lord Zeno had denied her that chance.'Lord Zeno, you guided me here. You told me to climb this mountain, to pray with all my heart and hope I could meet him again. So why? Why does it have to end like this?'Her heart twisted painfully as more tears streamed down her face. Her hands clenched into tight f

    I didn't understand what was happening. All I knew was that Luke's figure was slowly disappearing into the crowd winding down the mountain.But I couldn't let it end there. Refusing to give up, I scanned the slope until I spotted a narrow, steep side trail—empty, rough, and mostly untraveled.It wasn't an easy path, but if I moved fast enough, I could reach the base before him and cut him off."Damn it, fine!"With that thought, I broke into a run and plunged down the rugged shortcut. Few people used it, so I could move quickly. Compared to scaling high-rises and walls during my firefighter days, this trail was nothing.Still, I never imagined I'd run into the last person I wanted to see—Hera."What the hell is she doing here?"Ahead of me, she was descending the same path, hurrying as if something or someone was after her.It had been a long time since I last saw her. Gone was the dazzling, self-assured woman I remembered.Now she looked disheveled. Her clothes were wrinkled

    As I gazed up at the mountain road leading to the temple, a sudden thought struck me."This looks like the same Awakenist temple Hera used to visit all the time." My brow furrowed. "Could she be the one pulling the strings behind Luke?"Knowing that woman's venomous nature, it wouldn't have surprised me if she had sunk that low."But Edge Inc. was already investigated and shut down. All of Hera's assets were supposed to be seized by the court. How could she possibly have the means to come after me again?"I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, my thoughts circling as the car climbed the winding road.Even though I had been working nonstop these past few weeks, I had still found time to quietly dig into the scandal that nearly destroyed Sleeping Giant not long ago."Dan's handler… turned out to be Edmund," I muttered. "But where would he get that kind of power? Still, Edmund should be behind bars. There's no way he could've teamed up with Hera."My eyes narrowed. "Unless the

    At the same time, the other core members in the group chat finally relaxed, leaving everything in Dan's hands.[Dan, don't let Mr. Grimwald down this time!][We've got your back. No one's blaming you. We all know who you are.][Go on! If you're helping out at the company, we can finally enjoy our break without worry!]A few moments later, Dan replied in earnest.[Thank you all for your trust. And thank you, Mr. Grimwald!]Relief and gratitude swelled in his chest.…Ignoring the exhaustion from days spent caring for his father and uncle in the hospital, Dan rushed straight to the company and appeared in my office, still dusted from the road."Mr. Grimwald!""Dan." I gestured for him to sit. "Relax. No need to be so tense."Then my tone hardened. "You've seen the message in the group about the flawed formulae. I need you to handle two things."First, I'm not accusing anyone, but we still need a quiet internal check. If you notice anything suspicious, report it to me immediat
