At the hospital, to accommodate Bruce's condition, Isolde and K followed along.They had just returned to the ward when the attending doctor rushed in, his face tight with worry and urgency. "Prince, I have warned you again and again. Given your current physical condition, you absolutely cannot leave the hospital. Look at this. The wound has split open in multiple places. This is life-threatening."Bruce leaned against the bed, his face pale, his tone indifferent. "Just re-dress it. I won't die."The doctor bristled with both anxiety and anger. "Even if you survive, you will suffer serious aftereffects. Your legs are injured. The chance of standing again was already extremely slim. If you keep abusing your body, that tiny bit of hope will disappear completely."Isolde's heart clenched at the words. 'So his legs are not entirely hopeless, yet he still forced himself out, injured and unstable, just to save me.'If this impacted his recovery, she would carry that guilt forever."His

In the corridor, Isolde used Spade's communication system to contact Martin.The moment the call connected, she skipped pleasantries. Her voice sounded urgent and pleading. "Mr. Thompson, I'm sorry to bother you. I heard your family has a private medical team and complete medical equipment. I know this is an unreasonable request, especially under the circumstances, but I truly need help right now. Please, I'm begging you."Martin remained silent for a moment on the other end. When he spoke, his voice carried clear hesitation. "Isolde, it's not that I don't want to help. You know the X-X virus isn't fully under control yet. This medical team is responsible for my entire family. Even if I were willing, my family would never agree."Isolde's heart sank further. A wave of helplessness washed over her, and her hands trembled slightly.Was she really going to stand by and watch Bruce's treatment be interrupted? Would his injuries worsen? Would he truly lose, as the doctors warned, all ho

Isolde drew a steadying breath, opened her laptop, and braced herself to begin the duel.Code poured across the screen as the battle erupted.Within only a few rounds, her defenses began to buckle, driven back step by step by K's relentless pressure.Just as K closed in on her final firewall, Bruce, who had observed the fight in silence, spoke at last. "Left side, third node. Inject redundant code in reverse and force his tracking program into a self-loop."His voice was low and precise. His words cut through the chaos like a lighthouse cutting through fog.Isolde's fingers flew over the keyboard as she carried out the instruction without hesitation.In the next second, K's once-unstoppable assault slammed into an invisible barrier. Its speed dropped sharply, then fractured into disarray.From that point on, Bruce spoke only occasionally. Each time, he used just a few words. Yet every sentence landed with surgical accuracy, striking either the weakest point in K's defense or the

Unable to reason with Spencer, Isolde shoved past him and headed straight for Bruce's bedroom.The moment she stepped inside, she heard running water from the bathroom.The door stood partly open. At a glance, she saw Bruce seated in his wheelchair, struggling to remove his clothes.His movements were slow but stubborn. Each time he lifted an arm, the motion tugged at his wounds, and blood seeped steadily through the bandages.Isolde's temper flared at once. Worry and anger surged together, rushing straight to her head. 'Does he really have to take a shower right now?!'Irritated, she turned and walked out.Not long after, a soft snapping sound echoed through the house. All the lights went out at once, plunging the entire place into darkness.At the same moment, the sound of running water from the bathroom stopped."What's going on?" Bruce's cold voice came from inside.Spencer hurried in with a candle. The flickering light revealed a trace of guilt on his face. "Bruce, it loo

An hour later, Isolde's phone rang. The caller ID showed Sandra.The instant Isolde answered, Sandra's hysterical roar burst from the other end of the line. "Isolde! I already gave you 700,000,000 dollars! We agreed the paternity test would end there. How dare you still send something like this? You lying bitch who goes back on her word!"Isolde sneered, "I went back on my word? Sandra, didn't I warn you when I left Alan's place? Don't play tricks. Don't pretend to cooperate while stabbing me in the back. Since you dared to cut my brakes, you should have been prepared to pay a brutal price."On the other end of the call, Sandra felt as though she had fallen straight into an ice pit. Her entire body went numb.When the ambush failed, she had already expected Isolde to retaliate. She had never imagined Isolde would use a paternity test as revenge."Exposing that the child isn't Alan's does you no good," Sandra said. "It will only make him unable to let you go. He will cling to you e
