Edeline was standing near a transparent glass wall overlooking the city center, all the buildings below appearing so small, as if to demonstrate her lofty position within the large Xander Group corporation. Her hand held the hot coffee she had just made herself, as there was a coffee maker in her office. Suddenly, Edeline felt uneasy, as if something had suddenly made her feel uneasy. She didn't know what was happening until, without realizing it, the thick, black liquid spilled onto the back of her hand, causing her to flinch and accidentally throw the cup to the floor.The porcelain cup fell and shattered after hitting the marble floor with such force. Edeline gasped in shock and immediately took a few steps back, her face pale, as she clutched her pounding chest."What's going on? Why do I feel something that makes my heart uneasy?" Edeline thought, continuing to stare at the shattered porcelain cup. Valton immediately exited his room and saw his daughter standing there, her face

The atmosphere in the hospital room was incredibly tense. Almero had been holding his wife's hand while Valton remained on guard in the room. He had to make sure his child was okay and that he was waiting for her. Almero was sick and hadn't fully recovered his strength, and at a time like this, Valton wouldn't allow any danger to threaten his beloved son-in-law."Dad, didn't the doctor say that if I was fine, I should go home early?" Almero said, his face clouded with worry."What are you saying? You haven't fully recovered, and you shouldn't even think about going home." Edeline spoke, looking at her husband."But the situation doesn't allow us to stay here," Almero said to his wife with a sad look.Valton, who had been silent until now, now chose to speak up. "What your wife said is true. You should stay here." "I'm not afraid of danger, I just don't want to endanger my father and my wife. You two are the people I love most, and my condition is stable," Almero said, still trying to

"Don't let him go!"Almero could clearly hear the screams of one of the guards echoing through the hospital hallway. The sound of running footsteps echoed, indicating the tension outside.The man in the medical gown lifted his gaze and surveyed the situation. Seeing a nearby guard staring at the door, he took no chances and pushed the man to the floor, then sprinted out of the room."Get him!" Almero shouted, his voice filled with panic.The guard immediately got up and took long strides after the man in the medical gown."Almero, I'm scared," Edeline said, her voice trembling. She hugged her husband even tighter, trying to calm the fear that gripped her."I'm here, nothing will happen to you," Almero said, embracing his wife. His jaw clenched. He couldn't bear to see his wife so frightened, and he hated his current state! He felt like a weak man unable to protect his wife without help. This was truly heartbreaking.Meanwhile, the atmosphere outside the room was tense. The guards cou

The night was growing late. Although Valton had ensured that security around the VIP room corridor had been tightened, calm had not yet returned to the room, as if they knew danger still lurked outside.Edeline finally lay down on the hospital bed with Almero. Her body still felt tense, while her fingers continued to grip her husband's hand as if afraid he would disappear if she let go. The lights had been dimmed, adding to the tension, as if they were in a horror movie.Almero stroked the back of Edeline's hand with his thumb; he had been watching his wife's anxious face."Try to sleep, honey. I'm here," he said, caressing her cheek."You should sleep too. Don't push yourself after the accident." Edeline looked at him with puffy eyes."I'll sleep after you fall asleep." Almero closed his eyes after speaking."Don't lie to me," Edeline said, still watching her husband.Almero smiled faintly. "Okay. We'll sleep together." After speaking, he hugged his wife tighter, creating distance b

Almero continued running, ignoring the throbbing dizziness at the top of his head. For some reason, he felt the distance from the emergency stairs to his wife's VIP room growing ever farther. He kept praying and hoping that his wife would be okay.Meanwhile, Valton and the guards continued running behind him, panting, their faces all looking exhausted, but not a single one stopped climbing the hospital stairs.Almero roughly opened the emergency stairs door and ran down the hospital hallway. The five guards standing guard near Edeline's VIP door stared at him with confused expressions. One guard immediately ran over, sensing danger."Is something wrong, sir?" the guard asked once he was near Almero.Almero, feeling nervous, didn't answer the man's question and continued running toward the door to his wife's room.Receiving no answer, the guard immediately approached his colleague, who was now running behind Mr. Valton."What's wrong?" the man asked his colleague. "The guard guarding
