The dining table was laid out with an array of exquisitely prepared dishes. Every plate showed careful thought and effort."Here, try this soup. It's been simmering all morning," Ferdinand said as he personally ladled out a bowl and gently slid it in front of Cecilia.Cecilia was a little surprised. She thanked him softly and had just lifted her spoon when, with a dull thud, a piece of rib suddenly dropped into her bowl.She looked up to see Albert smiling at her kindly."Eat more meat. You've lost weight lately," he said, his tone carrying the concern of an elder.Ferdinand frowned almost imperceptibly, then gestured for the chef to bring over a plate of freshly seared lamb chops."You used to love these. I had the kitchen prepare them especially for you."Cecilia held her spoon, unsure whether she should drink the soup first or eat the meat.The two men seemed to be competing, constantly adding food to her plate. She hadn't even finished swallowing before another serving landed in f

With one hand in his pocket, Liam continued calmly,"First, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially determined. Second, even if it was arson, do you have any evidence that points to SCA? Third, what possible motive would I have to do something like that?"The woman trembled from head to toe, yet still screamed, "The world is rotten! You hire killers and silence people, and you won't even let us seek justice!""If you want justice, I can give it to you," Liam interrupted. "I'll contact the police right now and request a full investigation into the fire--how it started, how it spread. I'll give you an answer."She froze, clearly not expecting that response, but still forced herself to retort, "Authorities always protect their own! You think I'd believe any of those reports?""If you don't trust the legal system at all, then what kind of justice are you actually asking for?" Liam countered. "Do you want me to simply confess to arson and murder? Ms., I'm agreeing to an investigation

In the hospital ward, Robin stared at the numbers on the monitor, his brow deeply furrowed.Liam sat beside the bed, his fingers brushing gently over Cecilia's pale cheek before finally closing around her icy hand.His voice was low. "What caused it?"Robin hesitated for a moment. "After a joint consultation, the department heads believe it may have been exposure to something prohibited during pregnancy.""That's impossible," Liam said flatly. "I personally prepared everything she uses.""Based on her physical reaction," Robin added, "it was likely something she's been carrying with her recently. Possibly in her handbag."Liam's gaze sharpened. He stood abruptly. "Her bag?""You thought of something?"Liam slammed his fist hard against the wall and spoke coldly toward the doorway. "Go home immediately. Bring me the white handbag next to the sofa."The bodyguards moved quickly. When the bag was delivered, Liam dumped everything inside onto the table.Robin examined the items one by one

Late at night, the woman on the bed fluttered her lashes and slowly opened her eyes.The moment consciousness returned, the memories from before she blacked out surged back all at once.Her heart tightened. She quickly placed a hand over her lower abdomen--it was still flat, yet she could faintly sense a fragile, rhythmic pulse beneath her palm.She turned her head and gently brushed aside the stray hair falling over Liam's forehead.The instant her fingers touched his skin, she froze.He was burning hot.Ding--She pressed the call button. Medical staff rushed into the room almost immediately.Robin arrived soon after, rubbing his tired eyes.Seeing that Cecilia was awake, he looked surprised. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"Cecilia tried to speak, but her throat was dry and tight. She attempted to push herself up, only to collapse back against the pillow from weakness. All she could do was lift her hand and point faintly toward the side of the bed.With that

Elva slowly turned around.Dressed in white, she stood out starkly against the dark green of the forest. Her face was even paler than her dress, her lips almost completely drained of color.She stepped closer and bent down, ripping the tape from Gia's mouth in one swift motion.Rip--Gia sucked in a sharp breath, pain flaring at the corners of her mouth as if they were on fire.A smile appeared on Elva's face. She turned to the two men beside her and spoke softly, almost reproachfully. "There's no need to be so rough."Gia's heart pounded wildly.Her hands and feet were icy as she shrank back, her voice trembling. "Elva...you lured me here on purpose, didn't you?"Elva clapped her hands lightly, her smile deepening. "I was wondering whether you'd actually show up. I even prepared to send someone to fetch you. I didn't expect you to cooperate so nicely.""I came to apologize!" Gia raised her voice. "What happened that day--I really didn't mean it...Please, forgive me just this once..."
