The doctor smiled.“Your daughter is fine,” she said.For a second, the words didn’t seem real.But Conor didn’t react the way everyone expected.He didn’t smile. He didn’t relax. He didn’t even move at first.He just stood there, still and quiet, like a man carved out of stone.“Explain,” he said.His voice was low and controlled. But there was something sharp under it.The doctor adjusted the papers in her hands. She had clearly dealt with worried parents before, but something about Conor made her careful in a different way.“We completed a full examination,” she said. “Blood work. CT scan. Neurological evaluation. Cardiac monitoring. Everything we could think of.”She paused, like she was choosing words that would not break something fragile.“Some blood had been drowned away from her,” she added.Conor’s eyes shifted slightly at that.“We also found traces of anesthetic exposure,” she continued. “Most likely inhaled gas. That’s why she’s still sleeping.”Conor’s jaw tightened.“Bu

Olivia remained pressed against Conor’s chest for a long moment.The tears would not stop, every time she thought about Lily being safe, a fresh wave of relief crashed over her.Just hours ago, she had believed the worst.She had heard those horrible words.She had imagined Lily frightened and alone.The pain had been so overwhelming that her mind had simply shut down.Yet now, Lily was safe and right next door.The thought felt unreal, almost too good to believe.Olivia slowly lifted her head, her eyes were red from crying.She looked at Conor quietly.For several seconds, she simply stared at him, then her lips trembled.“Thank you.”The words came out softly, almost like a whisper.Conor looked back at her, she swallowed hard.“No…”A tear rolled down her cheek.“Thank you for bringing her back.”She didn’t know how he had done it.She didn’t know what had happened after she lost consciousness.All she knew was that when everyone else had failed, Conor had brought their daughter ho

She looked at him seriously. “If necessary…” Olivia paused. Then said, “I can ask DragonTech for help.” For one brief moment, Conor almost laughed. Like really laughed. The feeling was so unexpected that he nearly showed it. DragonTech? His own company? His own people?The organization currently waiting for his orders? If Olivia only knew. If she knew that every executive in DragonTech would stand at attention the moment he walked into a room… If she knew that the hospital floor outside was practically locked down because of him… If she knew that half of River City had been turned upside down looking for Lily because of a single phone call from him… The expression on her face would probably be priceless. A small smile almost appeared at the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he controlled it in time. Olivia noticed the slight change in his expression.“What?” Conor cleared his throat. "Nothing.” She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "You looked like you were about to laugh.”

Less than ten minutes later, his phone rang again. Conor answered immediately. “King." Nick’s voice came through the speaker. “We’ve finished the preliminary investigation.” Conor’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Report.” “Yes.” Papers shuffled on the other end. “The Winston family isn’t as powerful as they pretend to be.” Nick paused briefly before continuing. “They’re only a second-rate family in the province. They have some money and local influence, but compared to truly powerful families…” He paused. “They don’t amount too much.” Conor listened quietly, his expression didn’t change. Nick continued. “The private hospital they operate looks respectable on the surface. But after digging deeper, we’ve already found several irregularities, questionable transactions, suspicious agreements and some medical records that don’t quite add up.” A cold look appeared in Conor’s eyes. “What about Titan Group?” “They still have some influence over Titan Group.”Nick answ

“How could this happen to my grandson?!” Her hair was messy, her expensive clothes were wrinkled and her eyes were swollen red from crying. All dignity had disappeared. She sat on the polished marble floor in the center of the living room. Then she started pounding the ground with her hands. “My poor grandson!” Tears streamed down her face. “He was supposed to live!” The servants nearby lowered their heads, no one dared approach her. The old woman suddenly rolled onto the floor, completely losing control. “My grandson’s heart!” “My grandson’s heart is gone!” She cried so hard that she struggled to breathe. “That arrogant martial artist stole it! He killed my bodyguard! And ook the donor away!” Her voice cracked from crying. “He ruined everything!” Several members of the Winston family rushed downstairs after hearing the commotion. “What happened?” “Mother!” “What are you talking about?” A middle-aged man hurried forward, his face was filled with confu
