Chapter 289
Adam’s grip on Aria’s shoulders was firm but not aggressive—desperate, as if the last thread of his past had suddenly yanked him from the void. Behind her, the suited men stiffened like drawn bows, a single command away from unleashing force.But Aria raised her hand sharply. “Stand down.”Her voice was calm, yet held enough authority to snap the tension like brittle glass.She turned back to Adam, her eyes softening. “Mr. Manchester... our madam has been searching for your mother for years. Only recently, we uncovered something—new leads. There's a chance... your mother might still be alive.”Adam froze.His mind blanked for a heartbeat. His hands slowly released her shoulders. “Alive?” he whispered.Aria nodded. “We believe so.”For a man like Adam—who had faced down gun barrels, buried brothers-in-arms, and walked out of warzones soaked in blood—few things could still shake him. Tessa was one. The mysterious artifact was another. But his mother? That was sacred. Untouchable.“Take

“Stop! Don’t touch him!”The voice rang out like a whipcrack in the silent hospital corridor.It wasn’t just loud—it was commanding, almost regal, freezing everyone in place like a blade drawn in a sacred hall.Heads snapped toward the entrance.From the gleaming double doors of the hospital lobby, a woman strode in with unshakable authority. She was tall, maybe in her late twenties, dressed in a tailored black miniskirt and blazer that screamed power without saying a word.Her long hair flowed like a river of obsidian, and her heels clicked sharply against the tile, each step echoing like a countdown.Her face was serene, but there was something cold in her eyes—like a silent storm coiled behind a polished front. She wasn’t here for drama. She was here for business.Behind her followed over a dozen men in pitch-black suits. Their movement was flawless—sharp, precise, and synchronized like a special ops unit. The way they spread out wordlessly around the room made one thing clear: thi

The room was tense, still echoing with the beeping machines and the fading pulse of Mr. Langston's near-death experience. Sweat clung to every brow, and hearts still raced from what they had just witnessed. Yet despite it all—despite the miracle they'd all seen with their own eyes—the snide remarks returned almost immediately.Dr. Ross adjusted his coat, sneering at Adam. "Even if you did something, you're still not qualified. You have no medical license. You don't belong here."Adam's jaw tightened, his voice cutting through the room like a blade. "I just brought a man back from the brink of death. While the rest of you stood around with your degrees and your arrogance, I saved him. And now you're questioning me?""You're nothing," Zayden interjected, stepping forward with that same smugness that had painted his face from the moment he walked in. His voice carried like he owned the hospital. "How dare you speak to us like that? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"Adam turned

The corridor was still ringing with Dr. Faye’s eager bow when Adam finally stepped forward, his voice calm — but it cut through the moment like a blade.“So now… family-only suddenly includes outsiders too?”Dr. Faye blinked, caught off guard.Zayden paused mid-smirk, slowly turning his head toward Adam with thinly veiled contempt.Adam continued, voice even, “Because a minute ago, you were blocking me from entering that room — said I wasn’t family. But now, the red carpet’s rolled out because he brought a famous name?”Dr. Faye’s smile vanished.“Excuse me?” she snapped. “Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself to Mr. Zayden Rhys? One of the wealthiest men in the city? And Dr. Ross is the most celebrated surgeon in Royal City!”Zayden folded his arms, scoffing. “Trash like you should know when to shut up. I brought in the best man in the country to save Mr. Langston — and you’re what, some driver playing hero in a white knight fantasy? Stay in your lane.”Adam’s gaze
Chapter 285
THE DIVINE HOSPITAL The emergency entrance of Divine Hospital buzzed with quiet urgency — the sterile white lights above buzzed faintly, the scent of antiseptic clung to the air.Adam pulled up with a screech.Before the car had even come to a full stop, Ava threw the door open and bolted out, her heels clacking violently against the pavement.“Dad!” she called out, voice tight with panic. “Where’s my father?!”Hope followed behind her, still visibly shaken, clutching her purse against her chest like a shield.Adam exited last, locking the car with a single tap. His eyes scanned the glass doors ahead. His mind wasn’t racing — it was calculating. Fast.They stormed through the sliding doors into the lobby.A young female doctor approached them immediately, clipboard in hand, wearing the standard Divine coat with a name tag that read: Dr. Lena Faye.“You’re the Langston family, correct?” she asked.“Yes,” Ava nodded breathlessly. “We’re here for my father, Bernard Langston.”Dr. Faye g

The silence in the lab was thick with the scent of smoke, dust, and blood.Adam stood still, towering over Draven’s unconscious body. The veins that once pulsed violently beneath the man’s skin now dimmed like dying embers.With one last glance, Adam turned his back on the wreckage and pulled out his phone. The screen flickered to life, revealing a name glowing on the display: Mia.He tapped to call.The line connected almost immediately.“Boss!” Mia’s voice came through, crisp, steady, and laced with adrenaline. “We’ve secured all the target zones. Every lab that showed up on the satellite grid has been hit.”“Status?” Adam asked, his voice low and controlled.“We’re administering the antidote now. The former test subjects... most of them are stable. Side effects are minimal so far. They’ll all be cured in a few hours, if nothing changes.”Adam exhaled slowly, his knuckles relaxing slightly.“And what about the higher-ups?” he asked, his tone sharpening. “The ones running this nightm
