​The ambulance doors slammed shut as paramedics worked frantically over Noah.​"Blood pressure is dropping!"​"We're losing him!"​Alex stood frozen beside the vehicle, Noah's final words echoing endlessly in his mind: “Your mother... didn't die in the accident.” With sirens piercing the morning air, the ambulance sped away.​Outside the Hale Estate, Inspector David watched officers escort Adrian Voss into an armored police van. Strangely, Adrian looked calm—almost satisfied.​David stopped in front of him. "You've lost."​"Have I?" Adrian smiled faintly.​"You'll spend the rest of your life behind bars," David said.​Adrian let out a quiet laugh. "You still think I'm afraid of prison." He leaned closer and whispered, "You should be asking yourself... who opened the prison doors twenty-six years ago."​Before David could ask another question, Adrian climbed into the van, and the heavy door slammed shut.​Alex walked over toward Kendall. His father looked exhausted, and the deep bruis

​Tires screeched against the pavement as Alex's car sped through the city, with Inspector David's police SUV close behind. Alex tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his mind racing.​Hold on, Noah.​At St. Mary's Hospital, four armed men advanced toward Noah's room. The leader pointed a silenced pistol directly at the doctor. "Step aside."​"I won't let you take my patient," the doctor stood his ground.​Pfft!​The silenced gun fired, tearing into the doctor's shoulder and sending him crashing to the floor with a cry of pain as the nurses screamed.​Noah struggled to sit upright. "Leave them alone!"​"We're not here for them," the leader smiled coldly. "We're here for you."​A second attacker stepped toward Noah's bed and reached for the restraints securing his injured arm. Before he could touch him, Noah grabbed the IV stand with all the strength he had left and swung it.​Crash!​The heavy metal pole slammed directly into the attacker's face, knocking him backward.​"You'll re

​"Clear!" Noah's body jolted beneath the doctors' hands, but the heart monitor remained a flat line. "Again!"​Behind the observation glass, Alex stood frozen, unable to move, as Javier held his hand tightly. Beside them, David watched the medical team closely. "Come on, Noah... don't give up."​"Clear!" Noah's body lifted from the bed once more.​Then, a faint sound broke the silence. Beep. Everyone froze. Beep. Beep. Beep.​The doctor smiled with relief. "We have a pulse."​Alex finally exhaled. Twenty minutes later, the doctor stepped outside to update them. "He's alive, but he's unconscious, and we don't know for how long."​"Can we question him when he wakes?" David asked.​"If his condition improves," the doctor replied.​Alex looked through the glass at Noah, consumed by a single word: "Benjamin."​David immediately pulled out his phone. "I'm going to investigate the name."​"Start with everyone connected to Swan Group and Richard Hale twenty-seven years ago," Alex instructed.

​Alex stood motionless, stunned. "My mother..."​David stared at him in disbelief. "Are you sure?"​"I know her voice," Alex said, looking down at the phone in his hand. "I've heard recordings of her. My mother's voice is unforgettable."​Javier stepped closer, her tone gentle. "What exactly did she say?"​Alex swallowed hard. "She told me not to trust my father... and that Benjamin isn't our enemy. She said he's protecting us."​David shook his head, shifting his perspective. "Then we've been looking at this from the wrong direction."​"She also told me to find Daniel," Alex added, glancing toward the hospital entrance.​Before anyone could respond, an officer hurried toward them. "Inspector, we found something in the parking garage!"​David, Alex, and Javier followed the officer downstairs to an abandoned black sedan parked near the garage exit with its driver's door standing wide open.​"Any blood?" David asked, examining the scene.​"No, sir. We're processing it for fingerprints."

​"Make her confess to what?" Alex's question echoed through the empty warehouse.​Daniel looked at him. "Something she never did: the murder of Richard Hale."​Alex's expression changed immediately. "But Richard was alive when my mother disappeared."​"Exactly," Daniel took a slow breath. "That's why the Phoenix Circle needed Evelyn. Richard knew too much, Kendall knew too much, and your mother knew even more. After Richard was arrested, the Circle needed someone else to carry the final blame."​"And that person was Evelyn?" Alex asked, his eyes narrowing.​"Yes. Secretly, the Circle planned to make it look as though Evelyn was responsible for everything by creating fake evidence."​Meanwhile, at the Hale Estate, a black SUV pulled up beneath the old mansion. Evelyn was pulled from the back seat, her hands tied and a hood over her head.​"Keep moving," one of the men growled, shoving her forward through the hidden entrance beneath the estate.​Moments later, the hood was yanked off.
