Chapter 111
Immediately, Penelope could not hold herself back anymore.“This is not fair,” she said, her voice rising with emotion. “This is not right.”She stepped forward, placing herself more firmly between Liam and her brother, as though physically defending the very possibility of hope.“My friend here Liam—deserves a chance,” she said. “I have seen what he can do. I have heard what he can do. I know what he is capable of doing.”Her face was tense now, her eyes bright with desperation, but there was no hesitation in her words.“He literally just saved the governor’s mother’s life earlier,” she said. “I saw it with my own eyes. So why are you acting as if this is impossible? Why are you behaving as though he cannot help?”But the moment those words left her mouth, her brother reacted with explosive force.“Can’t you just be sensible for once?” he shouted.His voice struck the corridor so loudly that even the nurses farther down the hall turned to look.“Leave the governor’s mother out of thi
Chapter 112
At that moment, just as Liam was about to leave the corridor behind, Penelope’s mother spoke up.It was not a loud call, but it carried enough weight to stop him in his tracks.Liam paused immediately and turned around.The corridor fell silent again.Penelope’s eyes moved quickly from her mother to Liam, and even her brother, though visibly unwilling, held his tongue for the moment. Their mother straightened herself as much as she could despite the distress she was under, then looked directly at Liam with the searching gaze of a woman who no longer had the luxury of dismissing possibilities.She did not waste time with formalities.She went straight to the point.“What my daughter just said,” she asked, “is it true?”Her voice was tight, but steady enough.“Is it true that you really healed the governor’s mother?”For a brief moment, no one moved.The question hung heavily in the air.Penelope could almost hear her own heartbeat as she waited for Liam to answer. She already knew the
Chapter 113
At that moment, after hearing what Penelope’s brother had said, Penelope’s mother also turned fully toward Liam.Until then, she had been holding onto hope by instinct, by desperation, by the simple fact that a drowning person will reach for anything that resembles a hand. But now that the questions had been asked aloud questions about training, background, qualification, and origin—she found herself looking at Liam with a different kind of scrutiny.Not hostility, not exactly distrust.But caution.She wanted to know. She needed to know. If this young man was truly being considered as someone who might step into her husband’s case at such a critical moment, then she could not simply rely on stories, impressions, or her daughter’s conviction alone. She needed something firm something recognizable, something that fit within the world as she understood it.And Liam, seeing that expectation in her face, gave a small, quiet shake of his head.“Well,” he said, “as for any colleges or schoo
Chapter 114
At that moment Penelope looked crushed.Liam, however, looked unsurprised.Not because he had expected rejection, but because he understood something Penelope perhaps did not fully grasp in that moment: people do not always choose what is most effective. Often, they choose what feels safest to believe.And so, without anger, without argument, he prepared to leave.He turned slightly, ready to step away from a family that did not know what to do with him, a mother too afraid to trust him, and a daughter trapped helplessly between what she had seen and what no one else was willing to accept.But just as he was about to walk off, everything changed again.All of a sudden, the door to the emergency VIP room was pushed open.The movement was abrupt enough to draw every eye in the corridor toward it.Two doctors came out at once.One was a woman, poised but visibly tense.The other was a man, older, his expression serious in the way only experienced doctors wear when they are carrying news
Chapter 115
Immediately after Penelope whispered those words to him, Liam gave no sign that anything had changed.His expression remained calm, unreadable, almost detached in the way only someone deeply in control of himself could manage. He simply adjusted his posture, gave the faintest nod, and let the moment pass without drawing attention to it.Then, as though accepting the family’s decision at face value, he spoke clearly enough for those nearby to hear.“I’ll be taking my leave now,” he said.His voice was polite, steady, and without offense.He turned first to Penelope and offered a slight bow of the head. “Sorry for everything that happened.”Then he looked at her mother and said, with quiet sincerity, “I’m very, very sorry.”There was no bitterness in his tone, no hint that he had just been doubted, dismissed, and nearly thrown out of the hospital corridor. If anything, his apology sounded painfully genuine, as though he regretted that he had been unable to do more, even though he had no
Chapter 116
Immediately, Liam gave a slight nod.He did not waste time asking unnecessary questions, nor did he show surprise at her return. It was as if he had already anticipated that this was exactly how things would unfold.“No problem,” he said.Then his eyes sharpened, and his voice dropped into something more focused.“Let’s get going. Time is no longer on our side.”That single sentence sent a fresh jolt through Penelope.There was no hesitation left in her now. Whatever uncertainty had clung to her before was gone. They were past the point of wondering whether this was proper, polite, or acceptable. Her father was running out of time. If there was something strange happening behind that door as Liam clearly believed there was—then every passing second mattered.So together, they moved quickly back toward the exact VIP room.The hallway outside it was quieter now, but not in a comforting way. It had the sort of silence that often surrounds danger the stillness before a crisis turns final.

The instant Liam caught her wrist, the female doctor jerked back in outrage.Her entire face changed.The careful professionalism she had been wearing only moments ago cracked, and in its place came naked anger.“What the hell are you doing?” she snapped. “Why are you holding my hand? How dare you?”Her voice came out sharp and offended, but Liam did not release her.If anything, his expression grew stiller.“Well,” he said calmly, “that is not the most important thing right now.”His eyes dropped briefly to the injection in her hand.“Because that injection you are holding,” he said, “is not for emergency surgery.”The words hit the air like a blade.Penelope’s head turned sharply toward him.The female doctor froze for one split second.Liam continued before either of them could interrupt.“It has nothing to do with preparing a patient for surgery,” he said. “The content inside that injection is meant to slow the heart down—gradually, not immediately. But eventually, it can stop the
Chapter 118
Inside the car, Penelope’s brother and mother were still waiting for her.At first, neither of them said much. The silence between them was heavy, filled with exhaustion, grief, and the kind of numbness that settles over people when they have cried too much in too short a time. The engine was running softly, and outside, the hospital grounds seemed strangely calm compared to the storm that had been left behind upstairs.But as the minutes stretched on, Penelope’s mother began to grow restless.She turned slightly in her seat and looked toward the hospital entrance again.“This is taking too long,” she said.Her voice was tired, but now threaded with unease.“Where is she?” she murmured. “Did she misplace the bag or what?”She frowned faintly, trying to recall the exact place Penelope had claimed to leave it.“Did she even check the lobby properly?” she continued. “The place where I sat, where she said she kept it?”Then she exhaled sharply, more anxious now.“This is almost five minut
Chapter 119
By the time Penelope’s brother stepped out of the elevator and into the VIP lobby, his anger had already built itself into something sharp and unstable.He had come up in a rush, driven by suspicion, irritation, and a growing certainty that his sister had deceived him. But the very moment he entered the lobby and found it empty, that certainty twisted into something else.Tension, the place was quiet.Far too quiet.The polished floors reflected the overhead lights with sterile perfection. The expensive chairs arranged around the waiting area sat untouched. No movement. No doctor passing by. No nurse crossing the corridor. No Penelope.The silence pressed in on him at once, and a strange uneasiness crawled up his spine.He stopped in the middle of the lobby and looked around sharply.“Where the hell is Penelope?” he muttered.His eyes moved from one side of the waiting area to the other, then toward the adjoining hallway, then back again.Nothing.He took a few more steps, scanning ev
Chapter 120
The moment those words reached his ears, Penelope’s brother went completely still.It was as if the world had paused around him.The anger on his face vanished so suddenly it was almost frightening. One second he had been blazing with outrage, ready to drag Liam out of the room by force if necessary. The next, he looked as though the ground beneath him had shifted.All the air seemed to leave his lungs at once.His eyes widened, his lips parted.And for one suspended moment, he could only stare.Because he knew that voice.He knew it deeply, instinctively, with the kind of certainty that does not need confirmation.Yet even then, his mind resisted it.It could not be, not after everything the doctors had said.Not after the warning, the percentages, the hopelessness.Not after the terror of watching his father lie there silent and unresponsive, balanced somewhere between life and death.And yet he had heard him, he had heard him clearly.With a trembling voice, hardly trusting what he
