Chapter 73
Antonio’s heart pounded as he stood helplessly at the corner of the ward. He had rushed Florence here with every ounce of strength left in him, hoping the doctors would finally bring relief to her failing body. But the moment they arrived, the doctors brushed him aside.“Step back, young man. Let us handle this,” one of them said sternly, pushing him toward the wall.Antonio wanted to argue, but his voice caught in his throat. He could see Florence lying pale and fragile on the hospital bed, her breath shallow and uneven. Every time her chest rose, he prayed it wouldn’t be the last.The doctors moved with brisk precision, preparing instruments, rolling syringes, and discussing her condition in low, hurried tones. Antonio tried to read their faces, but their expressions gave him no comfort—only a cold efficiency.Just then, the door to the ward swung open. Dennis, a junior doctor in his early twenties, walked in. His white coat looked almost too large for his lean frame, and he carried

Antonio’s expression remained cold and unreadable as the torrent of insults and discouragement from the doctors rolled over him like water against stone. He ignored their shouting, their jeers, their warnings about risking Florence’s life. His focus was unwavering; the frail, motionless form of Florence lay on the bed, her breathing shallow, her color ghostly. He moved closer and carefully adjusted her head, tilting it slightly to better assess her condition. He studied her face, noting the pale tinge of blue around her lips, the subtle rise and fall of her chest, the labored pulse in her neck. His fingers pressed lightly against her wrist, measuring the rhythm, the strength. He traced her temples, feeling the faint heat radiating from her feverish body. Everything told him that time was slipping away, that every second counted. After a long period of meticulous assessment, Antonio withdrew a small container from his bag. It was unassuming, its exterior covered with a rough brown wra

Antonio’s eyes were sharp, cold, and unyielding as he turned to face the head physician. His voice cut through the tense atmosphere of the ward like a blade through silence.“I know exactly what I’m saying,” Antonio said firmly. “Step back. All of you. If you truly value her life, give me space to work. I don’t want interruptions.”The team of doctors surrounding Florence’s bed exchanged doubtful glances. Their white coats, pristine under the harsh glow of the fluorescent lights, contrasted with Antonio’s dark, travel-worn attire. Their skepticism was palpable, their professional pride already wounded by the mere suggestion that an outsider—a man they barely respected—dared to tell them what to do.One of them, a short, broad-shouldered man with glasses perched on the tip of his nose, sneered openly. “Step back? Who are you to give us orders? You’re no licensed physician here. You’re a reckless charlatan. Florence is in critical condition, and you think sticking needles in her wi

Antonio’s boots echoed against the polished floor as he moved down the hospital corridor. The sharp scent of disinfectant filled his nose, stinging the back of his throat, but he barely noticed. His mind was fixed on one thing—Florence. The security men he had spoken with had already given him clearance, their eyes softening when they recognized the strain in his voice. They knew why he had come, and they let him through without hesitation.When he reached her ward, Antonio’s chest tightened. The moment the door swung open, his eyes fell on her fragile frame lying on the hospital bed. Florence no longer looked like the vibrant woman he remembered. Instead, she was pale, her once warm skin now drained of color. The machines around her hummed and beeped in a steady rhythm, their wires running into her veins like lifelines struggling to keep her tethered to the world.Antonio froze for a moment, gripping the doorframe as if he needed something to hold him upright. His throat burned
Chapter 69
The shrill wail of sirens seemed to tear through Antonio’s skull as the ambulance screeched to a halt at the hospital entrance. Before the vehicle had even stopped properly, he leapt out, his shoes hitting the pavement with a thud. His chest was tight—not from the sprint—but from the sight of Florence on the stretcher. Her skin was pale, almost ashen, and her breathing came in shallow, labored gasps.The moment the stretcher rolled past him, he fell in step beside it, his eyes darting to every drip line, every monitor, searching for some sign that she was stable.In the next instant, he saw his father, pale with panic, rushing toward the emergency ward. The news had hit him just as hard—Florence had been poisoned. It wasn’t just food poisoning; the doctors had already said it was something far more sinister.“Mr. Antonio,” a doctor called, pulling him aside while orderlies wheeled Florence toward the operating theatre. “We’ve done the initial tests. The toxin has targeted a sensitive

Elaine sat in her office, sipping a cappuccino as Harry leaned casually against the edge of her desk, his tie slightly loosened, a confident smirk on his face. The late afternoon sun streamed through the blinds, casting striped shadows across the polished wood.“You’ve got to trust me on this,” Harry said, his voice smooth, persuasive. “The deal with Nexora Holdings will open doors for you—bigger clients, more exposure. But for it to work, you need to give Estina Bennett full operational authority. Let her streamline the funds; she knows the terrain better than anyone.”Elaine glanced at the contract on her desk. The language was complex, full of legal jargon, but Harry had already walked her through it—at least, that’s what she thought. He had a way of making things sound simple, convincing her that he was looking out for her best interests.“What about our payment schedules?” she asked. “Ardent Core Innovations still has to—”“Relax,” Harry interrupted with a warm laugh. “Cynthia wi
