Ronald Wakes Up

When Murphy pushed open the hospital room door, the scene before him froze him in place--glass shards littered the floor.Robin lay stiffly on the ground, while Cecilia sat cross-legged beside him, holding a piece of broken glass and trying to slide it underneath his body.Hearing the noise, Cecilia immediately stood up."Don't move," Murphy said, raising a hand to stop her. "There's glass everywhere. I'll have someone clean it up first."She seemed not to hear him at all. Stepping directly over the shards, she walked toward him, her voice tight. "How is he?"Murphy paused. "He's been taken to the ICU.""The ICU?" Cecilia's legs went weak. She reached out to brace herself against the doorframe. "Does that mean... he's still in danger?"Murphy didn't answer right away."I thought everything Robin said was true," she said quietly, her fingers digging into the wooden grain of the frame. "Turns out he was lying to me after all.""I'm not a doctor," Murphy finally said, his tone steady. "R

The Injection

Cecilia pushed open the hospital room door.The man on the bed heard the sound and slowly turned his head. His voice was hoarse from dehydration."I never thought... you'd be the first one to come see me.""I didn't expect to rush here either," Cecilia said as she sat down in the chair beside the bed. Her gaze swept over the steadily blinking heart monitor. "Everything looks fairly stable."Ronald curled his lips into a faint smirk. "Judging by your expression, Liam probably isn't doing so well. Looks like I won this round after all.""Yes, he was badly hurt." Cecilia reached out, her fingertips casually brushing one of the monitor's knobs. The heart-rate line on the screen wavered slightly. "Too bad his heart is still beating stronger than yours."Ronald's eyes darkened. "Did you come here to kill me?""Why would I kill you?" Cecilia picked up the oxygen mask from the bedside and gently placed it over his face. "I sincerely hope you... recover as soon as possible.""You think I'd bel

Negotiation

Cecilia had just reached the doorway of the hospital room when Rebecca hurried toward her."Cecilia!" Rebecca's eyes lit up. "Liam's awake. He's been transferred back to a regular room!"Cecilia's heart clenched. She pushed the door open and rushed inside.On the bed, Liam still looked pale, but his eyes were clear and focused.When he saw her, he didn't speak--he simply opened his arms slightly.Cecilia slowed her steps, walked to the bedside, and sank down on one knee. She gently rested her forehead against his shoulder."You said you'd come back safely."Liam lifted a hand and stroked her hair, his voice hoarse. "I'm sorry.""You should be," Cecilia said, gripping his hand, her fingers trembling slightly. "After the accident, not a single person told me. Were they planning to wait until you were lying there cold like Nick before letting me come say goodbye?""Don't say things like that," he murmured."Then why are you lying here?" She bit her lip and steadied her breathing. "I know

Miscarriage

Harriet stood on the steps of the fire escape, her back to her daughter, gazing out the window."You heard everything.""Mother..." Rebecca's voice trembled. "I always thought you were just domineering, controlling--maybe even obsessed with status. But I never imagined you'd say something like that.""Rebecca, there are no purely good people in this world." Harriet turned around, her tone calm. "Even the kindest person can be forced by reality to become something else."Rebecca took a step back, avoiding the hand Harriet reached out to her."That's not true. You're already the matriarch of the Sinclair family. Why do you still have to fight for more?""And who do you think I'm fighting for?" Harriet lifted her chin and let out a humorless smile. "You're right--I sit in the position of matriarch now. It looks glorious from the outside. But what about you? What has your father ever given you? The Sinclair empire is massive. Power went to Murphy. The medical sector went to Robin. Now tha

Twins

A faint scent of rice lingered in the hospital room.The woman on the bed stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Cecilia froze for a moment before realizing she was in a hospital ward.Not far away, Liam sat in a wheelchair, his head lowered as he reviewed some documents.She turned her head and noticed the dinner laid out on the table. Her expression changed abruptly. Throwing back the covers, she rushed straight into the bathroom.When Liam looked up at the sound, he only caught a glimpse of her retreating figure.A moment later, suppressed retching echoed from inside the bathroom.He set the papers aside and wheeled himself closer to the door.After a while, Cecilia came out, her face pale, one hand still covering her mouth."Could you have the food taken away?" she asked weakly.Liam frowned slightly. "You threw up again?"She shook her head without answering, the discomfort clearly written between her brows.Liam gestured for the caregiver outside to come in and clear the dishes. On

Protecting Her

Outside the ward, the moment Liam saw the doctor step out, an inexplicable tension tightened in his chest.When the doctor gestured for him to go in, that unease only deepened.Robin pushed the wheelchair forward and shot the doctor a look. "Bad news?"The doctor simply shook his head, smiling as he pointed toward the room. "You'll see once you go in."Still confused, Robin wheeled Liam inside. Cecilia was leaning against the headboard, her expression distant and dazed.Liam gently took her hand, lowering his voice. "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"Cecilia looked at him, nodded, then shook her head. "It just... doesn't feel real."Liam immediately turned to the doctor.The doctor explained softly, "She may be a little nervous. Carrying twins does put more strain on the body than a single pregnancy.""Twins?" Robin reacted first."Yes. It's been confirmed. Once the pregnancy progresses further, we'll

Are You Really Happy?

After pushing Liam back into the ward, Robin quietly left with the doctor.Cecilia leaned against the headboard, lips pressed together, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the man slowly approaching her.Liam lightly pressed a hand to his chest. "My wound hurts a bit.""Playing the victim," Cecilia muttered.He sat down beside the bed, his fingers brushing gently across her cheek."Cecilia... are you really happy?""Why wouldn't I be?" She leaned her head against his shoulder. "Other people have to go through all this twice. I get two at once. They have to give birth twice--I only have to do it once. Isn't that lucky?""Other people only get kicked by one baby," Liam said quietly. "You might get double. And you still think that's lucky?""But you'll get to see two babies lying beside you at the same time," Cecilia said, her eyes brightening slightly. "Two calling you 'Dad,' two clinging to you and acting spoiled.""And two fi

Cutting Ties

When Liam pushed the door open and returned to the ward, Cecilia was already sitting up, quietly watching him.She had wanted to get out of bed and go outside. Although the conversation beyond the door had been deliberately kept low, she had still caught fragments of it. If not for the child in her womb, she would have rushed out long ago.Liam rolled his wheelchair to the bedside. "Lie back down. Don't move around.""Rebecca's baby..." Cecilia began."There will be another chance," he said softly. "Rebecca is still young."Cecilia's eyes reddened slightly. "She's so kind. Why would something like this happen to her?""There are too many accidents in this world." Liam held her hand. "That's why you have to be even more careful. Some things, once they happen, can never be undone. Do you understand?"She nodded quickly. "I won't be reckless again.""Good. Then get some sleep." He tucked the blanket around her. "When you wake up,

Suicide

Ronald lowered his head.The sharp edge of defiance and hostility he'd shown earlier seemed to drain out of him all at once. His shoulders slumped, and his voice came out hoarse."I'm sorry, Mom."Madeline took two steps closer, her fingers clenched tightly around the hem of her coat."I warned you long ago to stop. Why wouldn't you listen?""Mom, you know me," Ronald said, tugging weakly at the corner of his mouth. The smile that appeared was bitter and hollow. "I've never lost this badly before. And honestly... I wasn't wrong about one thing just now. You and Dad--you never taught me what was worth holding on to, or what I should learn to let go of. What you taught me was this: if I want something, I take it by any means necessary. I just did exactly what I was taught."Madeline swayed slightly, as if the words had stabbed straight through her heart. Her lips parted, but no sound came out. Wasn't he right? Hadn't she played a part in leadi

You Don't Deserve Happiness

When Cecilia saw the news, her first reaction was that there must be a mistake with the name.A woman like Madeline--proud, educated, dignified--how could she choose such a tragic way to leave this world, even if her marriage had been unhappy?Liam still hadn't returned. He was probably visiting Rebecca.After a moment of silence, Cecilia reached out and pressed the call button.A nurse quickly pushed the door open, her expression cautious. "Do you need something?"Cecilia gestured toward the wheelchair by the window. "I want to go out for a bit.""Now?" The nurse hesitated. "The doctor instructed that you need bed rest--""It won't take long," Cecilia interrupted softly."But--""I'm just going to see a friend," Cecilia said, lifting her eyes. Her tone was calm but left no room for refusal. "It's in this building. Very close."The nurse hesitated for a few seconds, then finally nodded.When the wheelchair
