Date de publication:
2026-10-31 09:02:00Dane took the call in his hospital room.
Marco's voice was rougher than usual. The people were out, he said. Vasily and the others at the scene had stayed to explain what happened. Some contents of the employee's envelope hadn't been recovered.
“What documents?”
“Old security duty rosters, he says.”
Dane stopped moving.
Marco continued. Before working at the warehouse, the employee had wor

The Mafia Boss’s Captive Doctor Chapter 59. Then Later
The following afternoon, a bank employee checked Evelyn's ID and the terms of her authorization again.Dane stopped at the limit of the area where he was allowed to accompany her. Before going inside, Evelyn looked at him. The wish to ask him to open it with her rose to her throat, but she didn't know how many other people's names might appear in the materials.“I'll go take a look.”“Take your time.”He sat in a waiting chair. The way he supported his right arm was still awkward. Evelyn looked at his arm, then remembered that she had to go inside first.Box 704 held two thin document envelopes and an old notebook.There were no elaborate devices, no sealed drugs. The corners of the envelopes had been pressed down for so long that the papers bent slightly as she took them out. At the place the employee had shown her, Evelyn carefully unfolded them.&nb

The professor put his glasses back on. Though the lenses were clean now, he still seemed to find it difficult to meet her eyes.“I only saw part of it.”“And you didn't show me that part.”“No.”A long silence followed the brief answer. Evelyn wanted to press him. She wanted to ask whether the man who had come to her mother's funeral and held her had already known something then. But the professor's breathing grew labored. She stopped speaking and called a nurse.Her wish to care for a patient and her need for answers were pulling in different directions. Evelyn stepped outside the room for a while. As another doctor assessed him inside, she took a drink of water and bit hard on the rim of the cup.“I'll ask him again later.”She told Dane beside her. When he didn't answer, Evelyn looked up.“Do you think I'm being to

He looked unfamiliar without his white coat. Even while removed from clinical duties, he seemed unwilling to lose his place in the hospital, lifting his head whenever an employee passed.His gaze went to Evelyn's hand.“What did the professor give you?”Evelyn put the key in her bag. When Adrian took a step closer, Dane rose beside her. Evelyn didn't reach for him. She could give her own answer first.“He asked me to check some materials he keeps privately.”“You can't remove them if they belong to the hospital.”“I'll have their ownership formally established. Who decides whether someone has the authority to take them from here?”Adrian's lips tightened. He looked toward Dane as though to sneer, but Dane said nothing. Instead, he stood along the route they would take, looking ready to stop any hand that tried to snatch Evelyn's bag.

Outside Professor Hale's room, more checks were needed.The hospital said it was restricting visitors. When Evelyn explained that she had spoken to the professor directly and arranged the visit, the employee said they would check again.The wait outside the door grew longer.As Dane started toward the hospital employee, Evelyn said she would ask herself. He couldn't hide his displeasure, but stepped aside. Evelyn asked them to confirm whether the restriction had been set by the medical team or requested by the patient.A little later, the attending physician came out.Professor Hale was being treated for worsening heart failure, the doctor explained, and visiting times were being adjusted according to his condition. Evelyn said she didn't intend to interfere with his treatment; she had received a call saying he wanted to see her.The attending physician check

The next morning, aboard the boat leaving the port.Dane sat with his right arm supported as instructed at his appointment. The security officer traveling with them carried the luggage. When Evelyn sat beside him, he gave her the window seat.After reaching the airport, they had to wait for their scheduled passenger flight. Departure was slightly delayed. Dane was about to speak to an employee when he saw Evelyn take a book from her bag, and sat back down.“Even the boss has to wait.”Evelyn said. When he turned to her with a disgruntled look, she smiled and opened the book partway for him. Dane spent longer noticing how close her shoulder was than looking at the words.At the same time, in a small meeting room at the Harwood University Medical Foundation.Richard Cross was reading an additional request to preserve records. A matter he had thought settled by

Leo was making a road in his little sand play area. When Evelyn sat close, he cleared a space along one side of it for her.Evelyn moved nearer and knelt to bring herself level with his eyes.“Leo.”At her gentle voice, his head shot up and his face broke into a bright smile.“Mom!”With sandy hands, he caught the hem of her white coat.Evelyn gently brushed his forehead and chose her words with care.“Your uncle and I have to go away for a few days, starting tomorrow. I need to visit the hospital where I worked and see someone I know.”She said. Leo didn't answer at once. He pulled the shovel out of the sand, then pushed it back in.“Is Uncle sick again?”“We're not going there for treatment this time. But your uncle still has to be careful with his arm.”
