CHAPTER 159: The Fall of the Empire
Samson offered a subtle smile, deeply moved by Bianca’s affection. She gave him a sense of family that had been missing ever since his mother passed away. Samson had been all alone in the world, so being regarded as a father figure by a twenty-year-old girl at thirty-seven wasn't something he minded in the slightest."Oh! I brought some fruit pudding. Titi and I made it earlier!" Bianca declared enthusiastically, turning toward Itari.Itari smiled gently, watching Bianca’s mood shift so rapidly from tearful hysterics to bright excitement. She reached into her shopping bag and pulled out a transparent container filled with fresh, layered fruit pudding, topped with neatly arranged strawberry and grape slices."That's right, Sam. Ever since she heard you woke up, Bianca refused to leave until she finished making this pudding," Itari said, setting the container on the bedside table. "She insisted her father needed to get his strength back."Samson looked at the container, then shifted his
CHAPTER 158: The Cold War and Loving Promises
The atmosphere inside the VIP suite instantly turned tense, thick with heavy awkwardness.Gopar, Ucok, and Bejo tiptoed backward, hurrying to shut the door tight from the outside before a cold war between the two formidable women could erupt.Once the door slid shut, only Rose, Clara, and Samson remained in the sudden silence.Rose crossed her arms over her chest, attempting to maintain her composure, though the sharp glint in her eyes couldn't conceal her irritation. She darted a brief glance at Samson before shifting her gaze back to Clara, who sat quietly in her wheelchair.Aware of the sudden shift in the room, Clara let out a subtle, knowing smile."How are you feeling, Sam?" Clara asked, easing the awkwardness."Much better. What about you? You really should be resting, Clar. I'm sure your condition hasn't fully stabilized," Samson said."I'm feeling much better, Sam. The doctor said there's no infection and the surgery was a success, so everything is fine," Clara replied with a
CHAPTER 157: Justice Served
"I'm sorry," Samson whispered, reaching out with his uninjured hand. Using his thumb, he gently wiped the tears running down Rose's cheeks. "Don't cry because of me, Rose.""Why are you apologizing?" Rose asked softly."I'm sorry for making you cry and scaring you like that," he replied tenderly.The gentle touch of Samson's rough yet warm thumb against her cheek caused Rose's tears to spill over even more. Rather than subsiding, her tears flowed faster, wetting his fingers.The ice-cold woman who always wore a impassive mask now allowed her defenses to collapse completely in front of him."Don't ever do something like this again, Sam. Promise me you'll put your own safety first," Rose begged, placing her hand over Samson's as it rested on her cheek.Samson looked deep into Rose's swollen eyes. The wall he had spent so long building inside himself finally crumbled. He could no longer hide how he felt—not when seeing Rose looking so fragile before him."I promise, Rose," he answered wi
CHAPTER 156: Beyond Humanity
"Boss."Samson’s three subordinates stepped into the room. Samson was already sitting up on the hospital bed, his arm bound tight in a support bandage."You're all here. Then who's guarding the villa and the Roseland estate?" Samson asked, noticing that Bejo, Gopar, and Ucok were all present."We put trusted security personnel on duty there. A lot of our old crew members want to rejoin us," Ucok explained. "Teno—the guy you trusted—he’s in prison right now on framed drug trafficking charges.""Word is, ever since you disbanded the group back then, everyone’s just been aimlessly drifting," Gopar added. "That's why they were so moved and thrilled when we reached out to them again."Samson fell silent for a moment. "I can't exactly bring everyone in to work for Rose, can I?" he said softly."How are you feeling, Boss?" Bejo asked.The three of them stood gathered around Samson's bed."I'm fine," he replied calmly."I warned you, Boss. You were at your limit—you should have postponed the
CHAPTER 155: Turning the Tides
Nearly two hours bled away in a suffocating silence—an agonizing span of time that felt like an eternity to everyone waiting—until the soft hum of the operating room’s automatic doors finally broke the tension.The red sign reading SURGERY IN PROGRESS went dark, switching to a steady green.CLICK.Rose shot up from her seat instantly. Her fingers dug tightly into the blood-stained backpack in her grip as she hurried toward the doors.Gopar, Ucok, and Bejo surged forward in unison, holding their breath with pounding hearts as they stared at the figure in surgical scrubs stepping out into the corridor.Dr. Handoko pulled down his surgical mask, revealing a pale, exhausted face glistening with sweat. His scrubs were noticeably splattered with blood."Doctor! How is Samson?!" Rose asked, her voice trembling violently as she braced for the answer that would decide everything.Dr. Handoko let out a long, heavy exhale. He looked at Rose and the three men standing behind her, one by one, befo
CHAPTER 154: Standing Watch in the Shadows
"Please save him. I'm begging you, do whatever it takes!" Rose’s voice broke into desperate sobs.Her knees gave out beneath her, and she would have collapsed onto the icy corridor floor if Gopar and Bejo hadn't caught her in time.Inside the trauma bay, the high-pitched telemetry monitor began to beep in an erratic, harrowing pattern.Beep... beep......... beep..."Doctor! Systolic blood pressure dropped to 60! We have signs of cardiac tamponade from blood pooling in the pericardial sac!" a nurse shouted from inside."Prep the thoracotomy tray right now! We need to open the chest to evacuate the clots and clamp the bleeding vessel! Hurry!" Dr. Handoko ordered, his voice tight with pressure.The heavy doors of the emergency operating room slammed shut, and the illuminated red sign above clicked on: SURGERY IN PROGRESS.Rose leaned heavily against the wall, her chest heaving as she fought back wave after wave of hysteria. Her hands trembled violently as she wiped away the tears streami
