Sainz arrived at the hospital entrance, but she didn’t feel like herself.Her mind was far away.She didn’t even remember getting out of her car or walking into the hospital. Her body was moving, but her thoughts were somewhere else.Everything around her felt distant.People walked past her. Nurses rushed by. Patients talked quietly in the halls.But Sainz didn’t notice any of it.Her mind kept replaying the conversation she had just had at the police station.Every word.Every sentence.It kept repeating in her head over and over again.Her face looked blank, almost lifeless, like someone moving without thinking.She looked like a zombie walking through the hospital corridor.Then suddenly a voice snapped her back to reality.“Sainz! What the hell?”She blinked and slowly looked up toward the person who called her name.Zara was the first person to see her. She had just come back from the cafeteria, holding a tray with coffee for herself and the others.She squinted for a moment.“I

“What?” Sainz asked, confused by the question.Cherry gave a short, bitter laugh.“Did you really think we would suddenly become family?” she said. “Why? Because I’m blind now?”Her voice was sharp.“Do you think I’ll be alone now and that no one will care about me because I can’t see?”“N…no,” Sainz said quickly, trying to explain. “I never thought that way.”She moved a little closer to the bed.“You’re my family,” she said softly. “Why wouldn’t I be here for you when you need me the most?”Cherry turned her head toward her voice.“Who said I need you?” she asked coldly.Sainz froze.“What?” she whispered, shocked.Zara stepped forward, looking angry and ready to say something, but Kendrick gently grabbed her hand and shook his head.Zara sighed and stepped back.Sainz looked hurt but tried again.“Why would you say something like that?” she asked. “I’m your sister. I’ll always be your sister. And I’ll always be there when things get hard for you.”She reached out to hold Cherry’s h

They wheeled Cherry out of the hospital building and into the parking area.Zara and Jayson were already waiting there.Zara immediately looked at Paul, silently asking him how things went inside the room.Paul simply shook his head.Zara sighed heavily. Her eyes moved to Cherry, who was being carefully helped into the back seat of Sainz’s car.She rolled her eyes.“What a bitch,” she muttered under her breath.After Cherry was seated comfortably in the car, Sainz turned to the nurse.“Thank you so much for your help,” she said sincerely.The nurse smiled politely.“It’s nothing,” she said. “I was just doing my job.”Then she turned and walked back inside the hospital.Sainz looked at her friends.“Thank you all for being here for me,” she said gratefully.Kendrick gave a small smile.“Like I said before, we’re family,” he said. “If I can’t help my family, then who will?”Sainz smiled warmly at that.She shook her head slightly, feeling grateful.Soon everyone got into their cars and

Victor had just stepped out of the building. He walked straight to his car and got inside.As soon as the door closed, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.The call was answered almost immediately.Victor leaned back in his seat with a satisfied smile.“He took the bait,” he said calmly. “I didn’t think it would be this easy.”There was silence on the other end as the person listened.“Don’t worry,” Victor continued. “Everything is already in motion. I have things under control.”Without saying anything else, he ended the call and tossed the phone onto the seat beside him.Then he started the car and drove away from the building.Not long after, the news of what happened at the conference had already spread everywhere.Different news channels were reporting the story.On one television channel, a news anchor sat behind a desk, looking serious as the camera focused on her.“Good afternoon. This is Global News Network, and we have breaking news concerning businessman Kendrick

The VIP room in the restaurant was quiet and elegant. Soft music played gently in the background, almost too faint to hear. The room was decorated with dark wooden walls and warm golden lights. A large window showed the bright city skyline outside. In the middle of the room was a long table neatly arranged with glasses, bottled water, and folded napkins. Kendrick sat at the table, calm and composed. His face showed no emotion, but his eyes were focused as he scrolled through his phone. The room felt tense even though nothing had happened yet. Kendrick glanced at his watch and frowned slightly. “He’s late,” he muttered under his breath. He placed his phone on the table and rested his hands in front of him. Just then, the door slowly opened. Victor Kane walked into the room. He looked relaxed, dressed in a perfectly fitted dark suit. His face carried the same confident smile he had worn earlier at the conference. Behind him stood his assistant, who quietly stayed near
