Sean stepped into the room, his eyes landing on Gig, who was standing over his sister. His expression darkened the moment he saw Liana lying on the floor.Because the place was far from any medical center, he hadn’t been able to drive as fast as he wanted. He had only managed to arrive as quickly as possible.Liana suddenly began twitching again, and Sean felt his heartbeat stop, then explode like a roar in his ears. She wasn’t just slumped in a chair anymore. She was on the floor, twitching, her breath thin and broken.“Liana,” his voice cracked.Her fingers clawed weakly at the concrete, her bound wrists trembling, her eyes barely open. She was fighting and fighting to breathe.That was all it took. Sean rushed forward like a bullet.“Hey, stop him!” Sink yelled, already terrified after witnessing Sean’s speed.Two of the men lunged at Sean, arms raised to strike, but he didn’t even slow down. His muscles reacted before his mind did. He veered slightly, dodging their grab.Sean’s f

The men rushed forward without hesitation, their eyes burning with confidence that Sean was helpless.As long as he had Liana in his hands, he was going to be easy to take down. Since he wouldn’t let her drop, they planned to teach him a big lesson.Sean didn’t move, at least not at first. He adjusted his grip on Liana, securing the oxygen tank between them and protecting it with his forearm. Her head rested against his chest, shielded from every direction.The first man reached him, fist pulled back, aiming straight for Sean’s chest, right where Liana was, forcing Sean to expose himself to protect her.Sean stepped slightly to the right, movement small and controlled, then swung his leg out. His foot connected cleanly with the side of the man’s head.It was a single sharp impact.The man’s body went limp instantly. He dropped to the floor like a cut wire, unconscious before he even hit the ground.Silence filled the room. Every man rushing at Sean halted, eyes widening in disbelief.

Gig knew one thing for sure. He was doomed if Sean came for him, and he knew that nothing he did now would save him.Even though he knew Sean had let them go, Sean’s fighting skills were nothing to play with.“Get the car ready!” Gig ordered the nervous guy. “And let us get out of here.”The nervous guy began fidgeting, then turned and hurried out the door.Gig turned to Sink and raised his hand to his ear like a phone. Sink arched his brows, not understanding the signal.Gig repeated the gesture, waiting for Sink to get it, but Sink only stared like he was making a stupid sign.“We need to call the guy who tipped us off,” Gig said sharply, since Sink clearly didn’t understand. “Since we didn’t get a cent from her brother, we’re getting the money from him instead.”Sink’s eyes widened. “Now? Are you insane? There’s no time. If her brother really has that kind of money and he’s seen our faces, he’s coming. We need to run. Far. Like now.”“Run with what? Empty pockets?” Gig snapped. “Yo

Seven hours later,Sean sat next to his sister’s bed, a book in his hands as he crossed his legs.It had taken a while for the surgery to happen, and now he was quietly watching for his sister to wake up.She had been stabilized and was out of harm’s way, and her heartbeat was proper now, but Sean wanted to be there when she woke up.“I need to find them,” he muttered to himself as he tried his best to sit down on the chair and look at the book he was reading. “But she has to wake up first.”He glanced at her again, and a soft look appeared on his face.Two more hours went by, and by this time, it was almost noon.It was taking a while for her to wake up, and if it kept on going like that, he might not be able to do what he wanted to do.However, she was important to him, and he wasn’t going to just leave like that.“Sean.” Dr. Havel called, his head peeking from the door to the ward.Sean glanced at the doctor.“I would like to have a word with you.”Glancing back at Liana, Sean’s ey

Evan flinched since he had been right about them coming for him because he had made them believe that Sean was going to give them money, even though he had no idea if Sean was really going to provide them with it.However, he had believed that Sean was going to give them since he was spending so much on his already sick sister that her treatment couldn’t be found and hadn’t been created.After all, it hadn’t been created; the sickness had not existed before, but gladly, it wasn’t one to be contaminated by others or spread.“He should have given you some money if you really did the kidnapping job well,” Evan said, lips trembling. “I gave you all the passwords to get into the building through the front and back door. I evedoorsve you with the location of where she was staying and the description of what she looked like. I even told you how much he spends on her every month!”Evan had come across the spending sheet by mistake one day.While he had entered Dr. Havel’s office without permi
