Semua Bab Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Bab 2491 - Bab 2500

“Alright. If you need my help, just let me know.”Edwin nodded, not bothering with politeness.“I know what you mean. But for this, it’s better if I handle it myself.“Because I know exactly what you’re worried about right now—Daniel’s life.”A faint smile curved his lips. “Don’t worry. My people are already in place. Daniel won’t make it through tonight.”His voice dropped sharply on that last line.Yvonne felt a chill run down her spine.Was this really the Edwin she knew?He felt unfamiliar.And he spoke without the slightest regard for anyone else’s feelings.“Do you really have to…”She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence.She couldn’t help but hesitate.Was going this far really right?She thought about dealing with Daniel before, but now that it was actually happening, how could she not feel afraid?“What, getting cold feet now?”Hearing the tremor in her voice, Edwin found it almost amusing.“Wasn’t this your idea in the first place?”There was a chilling smile on his fa

Yvonne said seriously, “In other words, I just want to feel like I have some value, not be kept in the dark the whole time.”At that, Edwin pressed a hand to his forehead, exasperated.“Why do you have to take this so seriously?”“Put it another way—some things don’t need to be dissected like this. Just follow your instincts.”Yvonne paused, beginning to see his point.At first, she hadn’t realized it, but hearing him say it now, she felt like she might have been overthinking things.After all, Edwin had done what he promised.He hadn’t gone back on his word.“Alright. I understand.”She added, a hint of reluctance in her voice, “But next time, can you at least give me a heads-up? I just want a general idea of what you’re planning, not be completely in the dark.“Worst case, if something happens, I can react instead of having no idea what’s going on.”Edwin didn’t know what to say.On one hand, he couldn’t fully trust her. On the other, he believed his life and plans should stay firml

That night, the plan was for the doctor to inject Daniel with a hallucinogenic—something that would let him die in his sleep.It was quiet, clean, no disturbance and suspicion.Edwin had thought it all through long ago.That was why he had refused to tell Yvonne.The more people who knew, the higher the risk of exposure.So why waste time explaining anything to someone who didn’t need to know?He was better off using that time to make sure every step that followed was airtight.Growing up, he had always trailed behind Lucas. Only recently had he realized that the once-famous studio had been founded by Lucas himself.And despite being older, he had never earned anyone’s respect.Lucas didn’t even bother addressing him with the courtesy someone of his position should have received.Edwin had always been aware of it.People who grew up in darker environments learned to notice everything.They became sensitive and calculating.They learned how to please others and survive in narrow spaces

But in the end, they had no choice but to accept it.Reality was just that harsh.Sometimes, there was no point dwelling on it—one simply had to look at their own situation and what they could actually do.As more people kept glancing toward the room, the guards’ expressions hardened.“What are you all standing around for? Don’t you have your own business to attend to?”“You’re here for your patients, aren’t you? Or are you planning to just stare at someone else’s room all day?”That was enough to make people shift uncomfortably.A few looked embarrassed.The guards had a point—everyone was here to take care of their own loved ones. Lurking outside someone else’s room was hardly appropriate.Some of those who had lingered as spectators wanted to say something, but one look at the guards’ stern expressions made them think better of it.“Alright, alright, we’re leaving.”The more sensible ones quickly dispersed, not daring to stay any longer.Only then did the guards’ expressions ease sl

Seeing Daniel like this, a flicker of doubt crossed the doctor’s eyes.The man was already in such a condition—his chances of survival were slim. Why go to the trouble of administering something to ensure he never woke again?Didn’t that seem redundant?The thought lingered, but the doctor simply let out a quiet sigh and didn’t question it further.An order was an order.In his line of work, it was better to speak less and do more.He was being paid.This was what came with it.And besides, his position at the hospital was steadily improving. Everything was moving in the right direction.There was no way he would jeopardize his future over this.That would make him a fool.So, he chose to follow instructions.“Sorry, Mr. Lewis. If you’re going to blame someone, blame your bad luck or whoever you managed to offend.”He let out a low scoff. “And if you’re looking for revenge, don’t come looking for me.”With that, he raised the syringe and aimed for Daniel’s arm.Just then, the door sla
