Hazel let out a long sigh. She knew what he was thinking about.“What are you going to do next?” Hazel asked, sitting beside him and gently rubbing his arm.Evander took another heavy breath. “I’m going to find Noah. After this, it will probably be easier for me to leave my job,” he answered, half lost in thought. “It seems my prayers were answered. God gave me this injury so I’d have a good excuse for my superiors,” he continued with a bitter laugh.“I can’t see clearly, Hazel,” Evander said again.Hazel pres
Elena felt as if her feet were floating, her steps weightless and her mind a complete blank. The only thing she could see was Noah's face. After so many years apart, after a long and agonizing search, she had been just a breath away from holding her son again. Yet, God had blocked her path, placing Dom squarely between her and Noah.The man had refused to grant Elena any access, not even a simple glimpse of her son.“Ma’am…” Emily sobbed softly, looking at Elena. She could feel the woman’s heart shattering after what had just happened.“What am I supposed to do now, Emily? My life is meaningless if I can’t hold Noah again,” Elena said. Her eyes stared blankly into the distance, her face cold and stiff from the tears that had long since dried.“Don’t give up, Ma’am! We have to keep trying to convince Mr. Dom to give you a chance to see Noah!” Emily said, wiping her own tears away as she held onto Elena, who seemed to be walking without a soul.Emily then guided Elena to a small stone b
Evander winced against the glare as the doctor removed the bandages from his eyes."Don't force it just yet, Sir," the doctor advised.Evander nodded. His eyes still felt sore and painful, though it had subsided slightly now that the metal fragments were gone."Try to open your eyes slowly," the doctor said, "and then tell me what you see."Evander blinked slowly, gradually opening his eyelids, allowing the light to filter in as his retinas adjusted.Finally, his eyes were fully open. Evander looked around, his gaze scanning the room."Can you see the object over there?" the doctor asked, pointing to a painting of flowers on the wall.Evander followed the doctor's finger, but his gaze fell on Elena. He could see her standing there, watching him. Only..."It's a little... foggy," Evander said softly.They all exchanged glances. The doctor understood Evander's condition immediately."It seems there's a slight visual impairment. We'll conduct further examinations later," the doctor said.
Hazel kicked the door down when she heard a commotion coming from the bathroom. She had just returned to the room to find Evander gone from his bed. She assumed he was in the bathroom, and she was right, though something sounded very wrong. Hearing a curse from inside, she didn't hesitate for a second, ramming the door with a powerful kick.The door flew open, torn from its hinges. The scene that followed made her eyes widen in shock."Evan!"He was cornered, a knife aimed straight for his face.The attacking woman was startled when the door behind her was violently thrown open. Sensing her assailant’s momentary lapse in strength, Evander shoved her, sending her stumbling backward.Realizing the situation was no longer in her favor, the woman scrambled to her feet and fled the room. Enraged, Hazel gave chase. In her haste, she accidentally collided with Elena in the hospital corridor. It seemed Elena had come to visit Evander."You?!""Please, just watch him for a minute!" Hazel shout
The once-festive atmosphere had curdled into panic as they realized the threat of a bomb held by a teenager. Evander now faced him, trying to negotiate, to persuade him to hand over the backpack presumed to contain explosives."Come here, kid. Give that to me," Evander requested, slowly stepping forward.This only made the desperate-looking teenager step back. "Stay back! Or I'll press it!" he shouted, brandishing a small, single-button remote control in his hand. A wire connected it to the backpack he was clutching.Seeing this, Evander grew more cautious, his mind racing. He searched for a way to disarm the explosive without harming the boy."Okay, I'm backing up," Evander said, raising his weapon and then placing it on the ground. He then retreated two steps while raising both hands in the air."My name is Evan. You can talk to me. What's your name?" Evander asked."Ri-Riley," the boy answered, his eyes darting between Evander and his surroundings."Okay, Riley. Hand that over to m
Evander emerged from his superior’s office with a grim expression. His request to resign from his duties had been denied. As one of the top agents, on par with his partner, Hazel, his departure was out of the question."What's making you so defeatist, Captain? You're the best agent we have. There's no reason for us to approve your resignation request. Your promotion is just around the corner."That was, more or less, his superior's answer."Do I have to cut off my own leg to get a retirement?" he grumbled under his breath.Before he could finish the thought, Hazel appeared from another direction, her face tense. She strode toward Evander with wide steps."What exactly are you trying to do?" Hazel blurted out, her jaw tight as she kept her voice low. She had heard that Evander had submitted his resignation.Evander let out a long sigh. "I just want to focus on finding Noah," he said softly.Hazel, who had been on the verge of anger, closed her mouth. She looked like she wanted to say s
