Joseph asked in a worried tone, "What happened to my daughter, doctor?"Tobias looked at Fiona, who lay on the bed with a pale face and felt extremely complicated. He couldn't make heads or tails of the bizarre emotion in his heart. "We saved her, but she's not out of the danger yet. We'll need to keep her in the ICU for observation," the doctor said."The patient will need some peace now. All of you can't visit her for the time being. You'll have to come back again when she's doing better."The doctor and nurses wheeled Fiona into the ICU. The group of people came outside the ward. They could watch through the glass and see that Fiona had bandages all over her body. Her foot was even in a cast, and her nose and mouth were hooked onto a respirator as well. She looked downright miserable. Tobias saw it and felt a wave of emotions washed over him. He had hated her since he was a little boy, but she had saved him at a critical moment. An unfamiliar emotion rose within his chest

Joey was accusing Lucy, but the latter merely found it ridiculous. She knew she hadn't done anything to offend Joey, but Joey just wouldn't let it rest.Lucy glanced at Joey coldly. "Speak plainly. How am I a skank?"Joey mocked her. "You're such a slut, Lucy. You slept with another man behind Tobe's back, and the whole world has found out about it now. How do you have the guts to act all high and mighty?"At the next moment, someone slapped her hard across the face. Tobias never hit women. His patience must've been spent; otherwise, why would he slap Joey angrily?Joey's eyes widened. She covered her face and looked at Tobias incredulously. She was almost screaming when she spoke. "I can't believe you hit me, Tobe! You hit me for someone like Lucy!"Tobias said coldly, "Joey Shelton, I have severed my ties with you, and I'm no longer your son. Please stop calling me that. You're nothing but a crazy lady to me right now. It embarrasses me to hear someone like you calling me your s

The next day, Tobias woke up as soon as the sun came up. He had been in a foul mood after the whole thing with Joey last night. Now that he caught some sleep, he was feeling much better. Tobias looked at Lucy, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and pecked her forehead. Then, he got out of bed and got freshened up. Lucy felt the movement. When she opened her eyes, she saw Tobias walking toward the bathroom. She rolled to the side and got out of bed as well. Then, she joined him in the restroom. …Meanwhile, Joey had been admitted to the hospital last night. A lot of her body parts were wrapped up in bandages, making her look extremely miserable. Ross said, "Why are you so dumb, Joey? Why would you let things go this far with Tobias?"Joey said irritatingly, "Come on, Dad. It's the bastard's fault. He doesn't have a shred of humanity in him. If I had known this was how it would turn out, I wouldn't have shown him mercy. I would've killed him instead! As expected, he's not my

Joey was in full panic mode when the doctor questioned her, but she maintained her composure and responded, "She's my best friend, doctor. I'm here to check on her.""This is outrageous. You're standing in the ward of the ICU. No outsiders are allowed in here. Get out!""Alright. Fine. I'm leaving now."Joey leaned on her crutch and left. She came to the door and gave the unconscious Fiona a sidelong glance. A hint of maliciousness flashed in her eyes as she murmured, "You got lucky."She had just taken a couple of steps when she saw someone at the corner. She looked carefully and was surprised to see that it was Lucy.Joey gasped. Her eyes were shifty. She wondered if Lucy saw what she was about to do earlier. "What are you doing here, Lucy?"Lucy's eyes were laced with coldness as she said, "How about we have a talk, Joey?"Joey chuckled awkwardly. "Sure thing."Both of them came to the rooftop. There were no other people there. That made it suitable to talk about anything. T

Tobias was on the first floor of Ripley Group. He looked troubled. He checked his watch and looked at the distance from time to time, feeling restless. For some reason, his eyelids kept twitching. He couldn't shake off the sinking feeling in his gut.All of a sudden, an explosion sounded far away. Then, a mushroom cloud rose in the air and attracted a lot of onlookers. "What happened over there?""It looks like something exploded!"Tobias didn't know why, but his heart was pounding like crazy, and his eyelids kept twitching. The sinking feeling in his gut grew more intense. For some reason, he sprinted toward the explosion without a second thought.…The truck had crashed into Lucy's car, leading to a huge explosion. Fortunately, Lucy had run away quickly. She was merely propelled by the explosion's shock wave. Then, she rolled along on the ground and passed out with blood all over her body.A lot of people gathered around to look at the accident. Some of them pointed fin
