In the hospital's VIP ward, Amanda wrung out a warm towel and carefully wiped Dorian's pale forehead.Under the light, he looked as handsome as ever. His pallor only lent him a certain fragility that somehow made him even more sympathetic."Dorian, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I frightened you again." Amanda's voice was thick with guilt.The sight of the heavy cast on his wrist made something twist painfully in her chest.Dorian smiled weakly and reached out with his uninjured hand, gently laying it over hers. "How could this be your fault? Jake, he... was just caught up in the moment too. Don't be angry with him. Though he really does lose control too easily."The more he spoke, the worse Amanda felt.'Just look at Dorian. He's always so gentle, so kind, so understanding. Then there's Jacob, who only seems to know how to hurt the people closest to him with the cruelest words,' she thought."You're just too kind for your own good!" Amanda withdrew her hand, her chest aching,

Amanda's voice trembled. "I wasn't wrong! Jacob was the one in the wrong!"Cornelius looked at his daughter, who seemed utterly convinced of her own righteousness, and his anger flared even hotter."You're out of your mind!" He raised his hand, ready to strike her again."Cornelius!" Katherine caught his arm just in time. "Cornelius, have you lost it? You're hitting your own daughter over that worthless man? You've never so much as raised your voice at her, not once in her entire life."Katherine's intervention brought Cornelius back to his senses. He looked at his daughter's face and realized he had let his temper get the better of him.He let out a heavy breath and lowered his hand. Then he pointed at Amanda, his voice thick with heartbreak. "You have truly disappointed me. How did I raise you?"A daughter of mine can be strong-willed. She can be domineering. But she cannot lose all sense of right and wrong!"Jake is your husband! He's the man you're supposed to spend the rest

Cornelius slammed on the brakes in fury. "Such a foolish woman!"Katherine's body lurched forward with the sudden stop, nearly sending her into the windshield."Cornelius! Have you lost your mind?" she shrieked as she hurried to smooth her tangled hair and straighten her dress.Cornelius turned to her, his eyes dark. "I'm warning you one more time, Katherine. Stay out of the children's business."And don't you dare say another good word about Dorian in front of Mandy. Don't bring up divorce either.""You..." Katherine flinched at the chill in his eyes, but her tongue remained just as sharp. "That slap today isn't the end of this."She snorted, turned away, and began furiously typing on her phone.…At the Guldner villa, Amanda sat alone on the sofa, still dazed from her father's slap.Once she had calmed down, everything that had happened at the hospital that day replayed in her mind, scene by scene.She remembered Jacob pinned down by the two bodyguards and forced into that

"No... No, not at all. What's going on?" Amanda's voice softened instantly."It's nothing important. I just suddenly got a craving for the herbal soup from Chuck's Cafe. I don't know if it would be too much trouble for you..." Dorian's tone carried a careful, tentative hesitance."Not at all! Of course not!" The words tumbled out of Amanda's mouth before she even had time to think.Whatever Dorian asked of her, she never said no."I'll get up right now and bring it over to you!"She hung up and pushed back the covers, revealing a pair of long, slender, fair legs. She stretched, and the silk nightgown outlined the graceful curves of her body.She got up and walked into the living room.Jacob's bedroom door stood open, and the room was empty.'He must have gone to the hospital to see his adoptive mother,' she thought.Amanda pursed her lips as a flicker of irritation rose within her. Jacob really was getting pettier by the day. He had not even bothered to say a word before leavi

A fresh burst of agony slowed Jacob's movements by half a beat. The thugs swarmed him at once, raining fists and pipes down on him like hail.Jacob had no room left to fight back. He wrapped his arms around his head, curled tightly into himself, and protected his vital points as best he could.He let the blows fall where they would.Just then, the phone in Dorian's pocket buzzed. He pulled it out and glanced at the screen. A message had arrived from the man watching the hospital entrance.[Amanda's car has entered the hospital grounds.]A surge of satisfaction swept through Dorian. He lifted his head and looked around.A moment later, he spotted a red Maserati sports car turning the corner and pulling into an empty spot nearby.The door opened, and a long, slender leg clad in a sheer black stocking emerged first. Then Amanda stepped out, tall and striking.She had dressed with unusual allure today in a fitted white knit top, a black pencil skirt, and sheer black stockings that
