The morning sunlight streamed through the floor to ceiling windows of Sophia's office, highlighting the faint bag under her eyes as she shifted through the mountain of paperwork in front of her. She took a deep breath, pressing her fingers to her temples, trying to ease the dull ache that had been building since she woke up.Elena, popped her head into the room, carrying a tray with steamy cup of coffee and a small pastry. “ Good morning, boss. Looks like you need this more than I do.”Sophia looked up, offering a tired smile. “ You're a lifesaver, Elena.”“ Flattery gets you nowhere,” Elena teased, settling the tray on the desk. “ But seriously, you've been here since six . Did you even eat breakfast?”Sophia waved her off. “ I'm fine. There's too much to to do worry about food right now and besides, I don't have appetite for food right now.”Elena folded her arms, unimpressed. “Sophia skipping meals isn't heroic. It's stupid. Atleast eat this pastry while it's still warm.”“I will

Ethan's lips pressed into a thin line, but he didn't argue. The tension in the room was palpable as the doctor waited for someone to take the lead.Due to the tension in the room, the doctor awkwardly stepped aside, sensing the weight of the unspoken words. Jacob hesitated for a a moment before looking at Sophia, his eyes filled with worry . He glanced at the doctor, and then at Sophia again.“ I'll go with the doctor to sort things out,” he said softly, leaning down to brush a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Rest, Sophia.. I'll take care of it.”Sophia nodded weakly, her eyes fluttering close for a moment. Jacob followed the doctor out, his shoulders stiff with protective energy.As the doctor click shut behind them, Ethan moved closer to Sophia's bedside. He stood there for a moment, watching her. Her face was pale, her breathing shallow but steady. The sight of her like this tugged at something deep inside him.He sank into the chair Jacob had vacated and reached for her hand. “Sophi

The doctor raised a brow, clearly taken aback by Ethan's sudden resolve. “ We appreciate your willingness, but this isn't a simple process, Mr…?”“ Cole. Ethan Cole.” He replied curtly, his gaze unwavering. “ How soon can you run the tests?”The doctor nodded, flipping through the chart . “ We'll start with blood type compatibility and proceed the necessary tests. It will take some time, but every seconds counts.”Before the doctor could leave, Jacob stepped forward. “ Hold on,” he said, his voice calm but firm . “ You should test me first. I've known Sophia for years, and if anyone's going to be of help, it'll be me.”Ethan's jaw tightened as he turned to Jacob. “ This isn't about who's known her longer. It's about who can actually help her.”Jacob stepped closer, his expression unwavering. “ Exactly. And I'm sure I can.”The doctor glanced between them, clearly caught in the tension. “We can test both of you. The more options we have, the better.”“ I'm not leaving until this is don

The door to Sophia's room swung open, and a nurse stepped out. “ We're ready to transport her,” she said, her voice professional but gentle.Ethan and Jacob exchanged a brief glance, the tension between them unspoken but palpable.“ I'll follow in my car,” Jacob said, stepping back.Ethan nodded, then followed the nurse inside. Sophia layed on the bed, her complexion pale buy her chest rising and falling in steady rhythm. He leaned over, his voice soft but filled with conviction.“Sophia, you're going to be okay. Just hold on for a little longer.”The medical team moved efficiently, transferring Sophia to a stretcher. Ethan stayed close, his hand briefly brushing against hers as they secured her.Outside, the hospital staff guided the stretcher toward the waiting helicopter. The wind from the spinning blades whipped at Ethan's suit, but his focus remained on Sophia.. Jacob stood a fee steps behind, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.As the stretcher was loaded into the helico

Ethan let out a small, stressful smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. “ How's Sophia?” He asked, his voice strained but steady.Mrs. Blackwood stepped closer, her hand clasped behind her back. “ We haven't seen her yet,” she admitted. “She's still under observation. Dr. Bright said the next 48 hours are critical.”Ethan's expression tightened briefly before he exhaled and leaned back against the pillows. “ She's strong,” he said quietly, more likely to himself than to Mrs. Blackwood. “She'll pull through.”Mrs. Blackwood regarded him carefully, noting the weariness etched into Ethan's features. “What did you do for her…” She began, her voice trailing off for a moment. “ It's more than anyone could have expected.”Ethan shook his head faintly. “ It wasn't a choice. Not for me.”Mrs. Blackwood gave a slight nod, a flicker of respect in her gaze . “ Rest now. She will need you when she wakes up.”Ethan closed his eyes again, the faint tension in his body easily slightly. Mrs.
