publish date:
2026-11-05 10:00:00Outside 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 con

The Mafia Boss’s Captive Doctor Chapter 68. A Home Within a Child's Reach
The next morning, Elio said he wanted to take leave.Dane asked how long he needed to rest. Elio said he hadn't decided yet.“I need to go home and sort through my older brother's things too.”It was something he had put off since his brother's death. Evelyn remembered the old handcart she had seen in the greenhouse. She had thought of it only as something repaired for the child, but Elio had other memories attached to it too.“Leo will look for you.”Elio took hold of the door handle. Thinking he was about to leave, Dane called his name. Without opening the door, Elio looked back.“I chose a time when Leo was asleep to come and tell you even now.”Dane's gaze stayed on the handle.“Take the leave. I'll explain to him.”Elio bowed his head. Even after thanking him, he didn't release the handle. Si

When they switched their phones on after the plane landed, several messages arrived.Leo had been examined and given instructions for further observation and a follow-up visit. There was no news of a serious injury. Elio's hand wound had been treated, and for the time being, he needed to avoid work that got it wet or involved lifting heavy objects.The fire on the island had burned part of the warehouse. How the work vehicle had gained entry and the cause of the fire were under investigation. Everyone had already moved to accommodation on the mainland.Reading the messages, Evelyn opened a photo of Leo sent from the hospital. The boy sat beside the nurse, holding bread. The gauze was still there, but his eyes were turned away from the screen. One photo couldn't tell her everything was all right. Even so, the fact that he was hungry and eating something made her feel she might cry.Dane looked at the

“You must've been so frightened.”“What about Teddy?”The child asked about his toy at once. Evelyn realized he hadn't brought it out. She couldn't tell Marco to fetch it now.“We haven't been able to check yet. First, you and the people who are hurt need to go to the hospital. Once it's safe, we'll look for him.”Leo's face crumpled.“Mom gave him to me.”“I know.”At that, the child began to cry. Evelyn didn't tell him not to. She didn't order him to keep holding the phone either. When he turned his face away, she asked the nurse to stay beside him.From beyond the phone, she heard Elio's voice.“Want to sit next to me?”Leo didn't answer. A moment later, the screen tilted down, revealing Elio's wrapped hand. He was adjusting the boy's cap with his uninjured hand.&nb

There were many blanks in Professor Hale's answers. Copying down only the dates he was certain of, Evelyn stopped her pen. When she wrote the questions she needed to ask again, they took up more lines than the answers. After adding a question mark to the last one, she couldn't send them for a long time.There was still no answer about the cause of her mother's death. The pathology records were undergoing further checks, and what could be determined might depend on the condition of the old materials. Thinking of her mother still unsettled her.Evelyn closed the documents and folded the laundry.She could have used a hotel's laundry service, but she had washed a few light garments herself. While her hands were moving, she didn't have to read the same sentence again. Each time she straightened a damp sleeve and hung it up, she felt she was putting a little more of the day in order.One button on Dane's

Richard looked at Evelyn for a moment.“Ms. Morgan also viewed the early research positively. Research has both achievements and limitations.”“Up to what point are you referring to?”Evelyn waited for his answer. If she spoke quickly to press him, she felt she might miss the part she wanted to hear.Richard said he couldn't recall every detail of old meetings here.“Please also examine the objections she raised afterward. They concern the classification of adverse reactions and the need to continue follow-up care.”In the audience, the sponsor's representative turned a page. What Evelyn had sent in advance was part of the meeting materials with other people's names concealed, and questions about record preservation. There were no images of someone's death or photographs of their body.Adrian took the microphone.“Tak

After they sat down, a former colleague approached. He greeted her after so long and cautiously asked how she was doing. Evelyn started to say she was well, then said she wasn't sure yet.Her colleague looked uncomfortable.“I heard your case was settled.”“The disciplinary action was withdrawn. What comes after that is still ahead.”“That's a relief.”With nothing more to say, he touched his water glass. Evelyn knew her inability to give him a bright smile right away was making him uncomfortable. Still, she didn't hurry to tell him everything was fine.After the colleague left, Dane asked in a low voice,“Was he there then too?”“We worked together. I'll find out what he did first. Don't make him an enemy before that.”Before Dane could look as though he intended to make an enemy of everyone she
