Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Masked Symphony of Mrs. Luther: Kabanata 531 - Kabanata 540

They looked at each other. It was easy to feel the tension in the air.Revon scrutinized Gwyneth from head to toe, then broke into a chuckle.He said, "My apologies, Ms. Glen. Given our current circumstances, we had to summon you in such a manner. I trust you understand."His words might have been apologetic, but his tone lacked sincerity.Revon narrowed his eyes a little.When he spoke again, his voice had a hint of threat in it, "Ms. Glen, time is of the essence. I expect you to attend to the patient immediately. I hope your famous medical skills won't let us down."Gwyneth was aware of the rules. She had committed to saving a life, and failure was not an option. If she could not deliver, it would cost her life.She remained stoic, lowered her gaze, and focused her attention on the patient in front of her.The gunshot wound had been neglected for too long, resulting in a severe, pus-filled infection. If she wanted to save the patient, she needed to cut the pus-filled area b

As she stepped out of the hospital, one of Revon's goons greeted her respectfully, "Ms. Glen."This respectful demeanor was a stark contrast to the arrogant attitude he had displayed earlier.Confused, Gwyneth turned to look at him and asked, "What is it?""Chief appreciates your efforts. He wishes to treat you to a meal," the man relayed genuinely.Revon appeared from behind before he could finish, wondering, "Would you do me the honor?" The earlier tension that could be felt in the hospital ward had dissipated, and a sincere smile spread across Revon's face.Gwyneth was unsure of what had changed his attitude during this short interval.Regardless of the reason, she was well aware that someone of his stature would not show courtesy without an ulterior motive.She smiled nonchalantly and replied calmly, "It's not a matter of courtesy, but I typically don't dine this late. If you have something to say, just say it."Caught off guard by her directness, he hesitated momentarily

Even with Revon’s assurance, however, Gwyneth couldn’t help feeling upset during her meal. She couldn’t just abandon her patient… not with her ethical standards. With that in mind, all she could do was hope that Revon would fulfill his promise of quickly delivering Root to her. Given the tone of the man over the phone however… It was evident that he wasn’t going to give in until he achieved his goals. She could only imagine all the suffering that Root was being put through… and all the suffering to come if they waited any longer. Worst-case scenario, Root could even end up being brainwashed! …No, she had to keep herself together! As Gwyneth tried her best to concentrate on her work, her calm façade was unable to hide her emotional turmoil from Revon.Revon, for one, prided himself on being a reasonable man… And though she had done him a massive favor by saving the sniper who was also his most loyal and capable confidant… His men ended up abducting her brother… Burdened with guil

Raising a slight brow, Gwyneth replied, “…You know him?”Clenching his fists, Root resentfully growled, “…When they first kidnapped me, the goal was merely an interrogation… But Chief Revon…! He ordered them to torture me! I overheard it over the phone…! Had I not been weak, I would’ve dealt with those heinous people right there and then…!”Though he was pissed by all this, he was still grateful that Gwyneth wasn’t dragged too deep into all this… Then again, the whole cause of this situation… Biting his lower lip, Root eventually added, “I’m… Sorry for impulsively entering that global tournament… Had I refrained, then none of this would have-”“Hey, you were a victim. Don’t even think about putting the blame on yourself. Besides, wanting to win glory for our country is a noble thought. All in all, just consider this to be a bad experience… Now shush. You still need more rest,” interrupted Gwyneth who didn’t want him loathing himself for another second. Not wanting to go against

Already used to his baseless accusations, Gwyneth simply scoffed, “Please, I wouldn’t be treating her this way if she didn’t continuously test my patience. Can you really blame me for fighting back when your beloved daughter keeps trying to seduce my man in front of me? I guess like father, like daughter, huh?”“You…!”Despite Gaspard’s overwhelming fury, he forced himself to hold back from saying anything else. After all, Liam was standing right there, and from how much that man had defended Gwyneth the last time she was scolded… He couldn’t afford to make history repeat itself. Especially since he had come over to discuss some important matters with him…With that, he eventually calmed down enough to say, “…Regardless of how she acts, she at least cares for me… Unlike a certain someone who will probably be the death of me one day!”Following one final sneer, he turned to look at Liam… and after forcing a smile, he slowly approached him and said, “Um… You’ve heard about the projec
