The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 145 Truly Timely Aid
Sunset City Private Convalescent Hospital.Avery had changed into a crisp new white coat, her chest bearing the elegant nameplate engraved with "Doris Morris." The fabric of the coat still carried that fresh, just-issued scent, and the nameplate caught the light with every movement she made.The deputy director personally led the way, not only speaking with extreme courtesy but also assigning her the most sun-drenched independent senior consultation room in the psychology department. It had a massive floor-to-ceiling window that let the spring light pour in, warming the wooden desk until it was pleasant to the touch. The view overlooked the hospital's manicured gardens, a sea of green stretching toward the horizon.However, such an unprecedented "parachute" appointment—a stunningly beautiful newcomer landing directly in the department's most coveted position—landed like a massive bomb in the eyes of the other senior doctors.During the lunch break, the break room was thick with the ar
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 144 The Flying Bird and the Blind Eagle
The entire conference room fell into a brief, suspended silence.The five senior experts exchanged glances, each seeing the same shock reflected in the others' eyes. Some shifted uncomfortably in their seats; others stared at Avery as if seeing her for the first time. But the deputy director seated at the center did not immediately relent.He removed his glasses and began wiping them slowly, deliberately, with a pristine white cloth. Behind the lenses, his eyes gleamed with sharp, calculating shrewdness."A brilliant theory, Dr. Morris."The deputy director replaced his glasses and leaned back in his chair, studying her with a hint of arrogance that was clearly meant to test her composure."But Sunset City Private Convalescent Hospital has never lacked talented young professionals since its founding. What we require is absolute reliability. You've just arrived in Sunset City. You have no local medical connections, not even a single influential reference to vouch for your background. H
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 143 The Peace of Sunset City
April in Sunset City. The air carried the faint sweetness of returning spring, the scent of fresh grass and blooming flowers mingling in the gentle breeze that drifted through the open windows.In the high-rise apartment building, afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, warming the wooden floorboards until they were almost hot to the touch. The light slanted across the room in long, golden rectangles, casting soft shadows against the pale walls.Outside the windows, clusters of lilacs swayed in the soft wind, their pale purple hue painting the entire street below in a wash of delicate color. The blossoms seemed to go on forever, a sea of purple stretching down the boulevard.This place was peaceful, warm, slow-paced. The rhythm of life here was unhurried, the streets quiet, the air clean.It was a world away from the cold, industrial gloom that had hung over Obsidian City and Diamond City like a permanent shadow—the constant hum of machinery, the grey skies,
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 142 The Hunter's Net
The roar of the engine stretched long and thin through the pounding rain, a relentless howl that seemed to go on forever.The black SUV tore down the highway leading to the international port, tires slicing through standing water and sending up plumes of white spray half a meter high into the darkness.Outside the windows, rain hammered against the glass in a relentless, crackling assault, each drop striking like tiny bullets. Inside the cabin, however, the silence was absolute—as still and heavy as a moving grave, broken only by the low hum of the engine and the harsh rhythm of Dominic's breathing.Dominic leaned back against the rear seat, his head tilted slightly, his face pale beneath the dim interior light.His eyes had received emergency treatment and cold compresses. The doctors had assured him there was no permanent damage, that the blindness would pass with time and rest.But his vision remained nothing but void. No light. No shape. No shadow. Not even a flicker of grey at th
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 141: The List
After the interrogation ended, Avery returned to the small courtyard.She kept watch by her mother's bedside for half the night. Sleep came in fragments, shallow and restless, never quite settling into true rest. Every rustle of the sheets, every shift of her mother's breathing pulled her back to the surface of consciousness. She dozed in the chair beside the bed, her hand still resting on her mother's wrist, checking the pulse out of habit even in her half-conscious state.At dawn, the nurse arrived to take over the shift. The sky hadn't fully brightened yet, a pale grey light barely seeping through the curtains, casting long shadows across the floor. Avery was already up, pulling on her coat and stepping back into the black sedan arranged by the Winster family.The car was cold, the leather seats stiff and unwarmed, the air carrying the faint scent of rain and rubber. She leaned back against the headrest, her gaze fixed on the streets scrolling past the window. Her mind was blank, h
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 140 No One Sleeps Tonight
When she sat down, Green let out a low, mocking laugh. He tilted his head toward Avery, his posture completely relaxed."Look at you. All that effort getting her out, and she doesn't even know her own name anymore."He licked his dry lips, his fractured spectacles hanging precariously from his ear."You think getting her out of Obsidian City was the end of it? Line 030 is locked inside her, but she can't tell you a thing. You carried an empty shell for three days. And now what?"Avery's fingers curled into a tight, rigid knot against her knees, her nails driving sharply into her open palms.The chaotic images of their flight from the facility, her mother's hollow, unfocused eyes, and the shadow of Dominic's back soaked in crimson beneath the midnight rain—countless memories tore through her thoughts simultaneously, each one sharp and unrelenting.Yet she kept her face still. She maintained an absolute visual lock on his, forcing her heart rate into compliance as she silently waited fo
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 74 Scorched Touch
Dominic’s hand, which had been ruffling Dorothea’s hair, froze completely mid-air.The flawless, untouchable image of the sovereign of Obsidian City collapsed instantly under a six-year-old girl’s flawless, unprompted cross-examination. Avery watched the fleeting look of astonishment and sheer awkw
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 72 Boundless Fear
"Burn it."Dominic pressed his left hand firmly against his earpiece, his voice cold and definitive.A split second later, a deafening explosion shattered the night. The directional charges he had strategically planted around the gallery’s exterior transformers detonated precisely on cue. The groun
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 71 The Countdown
Victor stood outside the ballistic enclosure, peering through the dense glass at Dominic, who was shielding Avery with uncompromising finality."Kessler, you honestly think I didn't know your people were cutting the signal outside? You wanted to use the Thornes to break me? A calculated ga
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 70 Meeting at the Summit
The rain in Obsidian City always arrived without warning, a sudden, violent deluge that blurred the neon-drenched streets into smears of distorted light.In the distance, the faint, echoing wail of sirens cut through the thunder—a grim confirmation that the clean-up net Dominic had s
