Chapter 11: Dirty plan
"The old man never does anything without careful calculation, Callum," Marcus said. His voice was low, breaking the silence of the vast room. Callum turned his head. "Do you know what he’s planning behind the walls of that great house in Thornwall?" "I know exactly what’s inside that old bastard’s head," Marcus stepped slowly toward the small glass table in the corner of the room. He reached for his silver cigarette case lying there. "He sent his men to look for me not just because his health is declining or because he misses me," he said. "But you seem interested in their arrival," Callum crossed his arms over his chest, calmly observing Marcus’s movements. "With your character, you would have driven them away immediately." Marcus lit his silver lighter. A small yellow flame illuminated the sharp line of his jaw for a second before he snapped the lighter shut with a sharp click. "I’m interested in seeing how far that old man is willing to use what remains of his critical brea

Chapter 12: A visit to the hospital
The rental car driven by Marcus stopped in the parking area of the hospital where Edwin was being treated. Without lingering, he immediately turned off the engine, stepped out, and walked casually toward the main lobby entrance. His slightly faded black leather jacket fluttered gently in the breeze. The hospital lobby floor was covered with spotless white marble. In this place, most people arrived in neat suits or expensive formal attire. Marcus walked straight toward the reception desk located in the center of the lobby. Behind the curved desk, two female nurses in clean white uniforms were busy checking documents on their computer screens. "Is there anything I can help you with, Sir?" the first nurse asked. However, her face quickly turned flat after her eyes scanned Marcus's simple appearance, from his wrinkled shirt to his slightly dusty old boots. "I came to see the hospital director," Marcus said without small talk. The second nurse sitting beside her immediately st

Chapter 13: Tony Brown
Quinn wanted to run across the marble lobby. The urge to grab Marcus’s arm and drag him out was overwhelming. However, a nudge in her mind told her not to move just yet. There was a small conviction urging her to wait and watch the situation unfold. She stared at Marcus’s straight back as he stood in front of the executive elevator corridor. The first security officer yanked the black leather jacket roughly. "Come with us now, don’t provoke a bigger disturbance!" The second officer snorted. "Already poor, still causing trouble. Aren’t you afraid of getting arrested and fined?" Marcus had initially had no intention of using violence in this medical building. This place was where Edwin was being treated. He wanted to maintain peace out of respect for his wife’s family’s struggle. But when the second officer grabbed his shoulder from behind, Marcus decided to no longer care about that rule. His ice-flat gaze narrowed sharply. His patience had been crossed. Marcus moved his left

Chapter 14: Standing up for her husband
Quinn stepped forward from behind the concrete pillar that had been hiding her. Her footsteps cut through the silence of the corridor with rapid beats. "Stop all of this!" Quinn shouted loudly. She positioned her entire body right in front of Marcus. Marcus froze upon seeing the back of the woman who had suddenly appeared. He immediately grabbed Quinn’s shoulders with both hands and pulled her behind his body. "Why did you come out?" Marcus asked in a low tone right near Quinn’s ear. "Step back now, Quinn," he continued. Quinn stared at the firm silhouette of Marcus’s back in front of her. "I can’t just stand still and watch them treat you like this," Quinn replied while clutching the edge of Marcus’s leather jacket. Marcus shook his head slowly without fully turning around. "I’ve already promised to handle everything in this place," Marcus said. "Stay behind me." Tony observed the interaction between the two with a sharp gaze. He snorted loudly and then crossed his arms over

Chapter 15
Fresh blood dripped from Tony’s chin. The thick red liquid fell onto the white marble floor.Tony collapsed disgracefully onto the lobby floor. Both his hands clutched his throbbing lower jaw.“What did you say?” Tony hissed.He steadied his body after stumbling backward. His hand wiped the remaining blood at the corner of his lips.“What did you just call me?” Tony’s voice rose, breaking the silence of the lobby.He lifted his head to stare at the man in the leather jacket before him. His eyes widened, flashing with hostility.“Brown dog?” Tony repeated with his jaw clenched tightly. “You dare call me a Brown dog?”Tony shouted until his face turned red.“Who are you calling a dog here, bastard?” he barked.Marcus gave no reaction. He stood firmly in his original position.Both of the man’s hands remained tucked inside the pockets of his leather jacket. His gaze fixed on Tony as cold as a block of ice.“Answer my question!” Tony shouted while pointing at Marcus’s face. “Who are you c

Chapter 16
The sharp sound hung in the air. Tony's face was thrown to the side from the sudden impact.His jaw locked tight. The smirk he wore seconds ago vanished. His neatly styled hair fell across his forehead, ruining his groomed image.Quinn stood her ground. This time she did not retreat behind Marcus. Quinn's chest rose and fell rapidly. Her breathing sounded heavy in the silent room.The insults Tony threw at her husband echoed loudly in her mind.She raised her right hand high once again. She aimed her open palm directly at the other cheek.A low, hoarse growl came from Tony's throat.He turned his head just in time. His hand lashed out like a whip. He caught Quinn's wrist right before it hit his face.His fingers gripped Quinn's pale skin.Quinn gasped. She tried to pull her arm back.Tony's grip only tightened. He pressed his fingers deeper into Quinn's flesh."How dare you?" hissed Tony. His voice sounded like a venomous snake.He yanked Quinn's arm forward. He forced her to step clo

Chapter 17: Crimson Duet
The middle-aged doctor let out a loud scream. All the color drained from his face in a matter of seconds. He ran frantically toward the reception desk. The man bumped into several chairs in his desperate search for cover. The two nurses also screamed in panic. They did not know what to do. The troops walked closer without showing any emotion. Suddenly, the men in dark suits stopped simultaneously two meters in front of Tony. They lowered their bodies together. Dozens of men dropped to one knee on the floor. They bowed their heads before the well-dressed man. "We await your orders, Young Master!" shouted the fierce-looking man at the front line. The echo of the troops’ shout reverberated across the ceiling of the VIP lobby. Tony flinched for a moment. A high-pitched laugh suddenly burst from his mouth. The man raised one hand into the air. He signaled to the medical staff around him. "Calm down," Tony said arrogantly. "They are merely my newly arrived guard dogs."

Chapter 18
Silence took over the VIP lobby.Soft groans echoed one after another. Several tall, burly men writhed helplessly on the floor.Quinn adjusted her clothes. Her breathing gradually steadied.Her eyes swept across the chaos around her without expression. Soon, she turned her body to face Marcus’s sturdy back.Without warning, Quinn raised one hand into the air. Her fingertips landed on Marcus’s broad chest.The gentle push halted Marcus’s movement. The man in the leather jacket glanced sideways only to meet a pair of narrowed eyes."You used my body as a living shield against their blind attacks," Quinn continued. "How heroic, Marcus."Marcus lowered his head, letting out a faint, almost transparent smirk. He then dropped his gaze to Quinn’s finger on his chest."Sorry," Marcus replied.Quinn pulled her hand away. She crossed both arms in front of her chest. She said nothing more.Behind the long reception desk, the medical staff stood frozen like statues. The on-duty doctor and the two

Chapter 19: Director’s arrival
The Director of the elite hospital finally arrived at the scene.Seeing his superior’s arrival, the attending doctor immediately straightened his back. He brushed imaginary dust off his uniform with trembling hands.His head then lowered deeply to greet his superior. The two nurses behind the reception desk hurried to imitate the gesture.They bowed as low as possible. Their hands clasped tightly to restrain their tension.Amid the chaos in the lobby, Tony Brown also turned his head. The arrogant man, still sprawled on the floor, realized the Director’s presence.Tony wiped the trace of blood at the corner of his lips with the back of his hand. A disdainful smile slowly formed on his battered face.He forced his body to prop itself up on one elbow. His ribs throbbed painfully in protest of the movement.Tony assumed the Director had come down to stop the situation for his sake. The conceited man felt his position return to safety and comfort.He stared at Marcus with a sharp glint of

Chapter 20: Dismissal
The silence of the VIP lobby instantly shattered. That form of address slipped freely from the Director’s lips. The middle-aged man’s voice trembled."I apologize for my lateness, Sir," said the Director. His head was still bowed, staring at the tip of Marcus's shoes.The faint title "Sir" echoed against the marble walls. That respectful address resembled a bomb exploding in the middle of the room. Wild speculation immediately surfaced in the minds of everyone who heard it.The attending doctor’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. The jaw of the man in the white uniform dropped wide open. His breath caught in his throat.The two nurses behind the reception desk clutched each other's arms. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Their gazes shifted rapidly from the Director to Marcus.The man in the worn leather jacket before them was receiving special treatment. The highest authority of the hospital was willing to bow his head and lower his dignity. This fac
