Daren and Ethan were standing outside the ward when Joshua finally stepped out and caught sight of them.The moment Joshua's eyes landed on Ethan, they sparked with anger.He stopped briefly, staring at Ethan with such intensity that it was as though he wanted to punch the anger straight through his body. His jaw tightened, and his expression hardened.But Ethan did not flinch.He simply stood there, meeting Joshua's stare without the slightest sign of fear.Joshua continued staring at him.Ethan stared right back.Neither of them looked away.The silence between them was heavy, almost confrontational. Joshua's eyes remained fixed on Ethan as though he was trying to send a warning without saying a single word.Ethan understood the message.And he simply didn't care.Eventually, Joshua grew tired of the silent confrontation. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked away.Ethan's eyes followed him.He remained completely still, watching Joshua's back as he walked farther dow
297. Unexpected Confrontation
Darlington just kept staring at Fiona, his eyes calculating as they moved over her face with such intensity that it almost seemed as though he wanted to devour her.His temper was already rising, but he managed to hide it, concealing his anger behind his tightly clenched fists.He was still trying to recover from the hurried run from the reception to the ward. He had been desperate to stop Fiona from speaking.Darlington couldn't stop himself from imagining what his fate, and that of his reputation, would be if Fiona opened her mouth and told everyone that he was the one who shot her.If the accusation had come from outsiders or other people, it could easily be dismissed as a rumor. It might even be twisted into some kind of romantic speculation. But if the statement came directly from Fiona herself, the victim of the shooting, and she pointed at him as the shooter, it would definitely drag his reputation down.If he hadn't gotten there on time, Fiona would have exposed him and ruined
296. Interrupted
“Mrs. Wong, how does it feel to be alive?”One of the interviewers asked as Fiona sat weakly on the hospital bed.Fiona gave a faint smile, though exhaustion was still written all over her face.“It feels so good to be alive again,” she said softly. “It feels like I cheated death.”Cynthia stood beside her mother, gently holding her hand as the interviewers continued throwing questions at her.“And what can you say about what happened to you, Mrs. Wong?”Another interviewer asked. There was something in her voice, almost as though she had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to ask that particular question.Fiona remained composed.The woman leaned slightly forward.“What can you say, ma’am? After you fell into a coma, so many rumors started spreading. There were all kinds of stories about your shooting.”She paused briefly before delivering the question everyone seemed to be waiting for.“Some people claim that your husband was cheating on you, and when you found out about the be
295. The Broadcast
The father and son were already making their way toward the exit when Rachael's voice suddenly came from behind them. “I will go with you to the hospital.” She had been standing there for quite some time, listening to everything they had been saying without interrupting. Darlington glanced at her but didn't object. Whether Rachael came with them or stayed behind didn't matter to him right now. The only thing occupying his mind was getting to the hospital as quickly as possible and making sure Fiona didn't get the opportunity to speak to the media before he arrived. He simply nodded at Rachael and gestured for her to follow if she wanted to.When they stepped outside, they found Daren already sitting inside the car, waiting for them as though he somehow knew where they were going. He knew exactly where they were headed, but he deliberately pretended otherwise, keeping his expression neutral as Darlington approached the vehicle.“Get the car, Daren. We are heading back to the hospital
294. Panic
Back at the mansion, Darlington was in his room, reading through some business insights when his phone suddenly started ringing.He picked it up and glanced at the screen.This time, the call was genuinely from the hospital.He had already saved the hospital's number and had made it clear to them that, under no circumstances, were they to contact him through any other number except the one he had personally given them.It was because of what had happened a few days earlier.A fake number had called the hospital and instructed them to come over, almost leading them into a trap.Darlington wanted to prevent anything like that from happening again. He had specifically instructed the hospital to contact him only through the number he had provided and saved. And since he was a VIP, the hospital had no reason to ignore his instructions.So, when he saw the hospital's caller ID on his screen, a slight frown appeared on his face.What could be the reason behind this call?He didn't want to th
293. She's Awake
So many questions came at once, and Ethan didn't even know which one to answer first.At that moment, he realized that he was the one who had screwed up. He had allowed his emotions to get the better of him and had used the scene of his parents' death to speak to Cynthia. Now, Cynthia was suspicious of him.He swallowed hard before nodding at her.He needed another convincing lie, something that would fit into the story he had already started. And Cynthia was sitting there, waiting for him to explain himself.Ethan took a deep breath, but he still didn't say a word.Cynthia shrugged, urging him to answer.“Aren't you going to say a word to me? You don't understand the question I asked, or maybe I should ask you again?”Ethan shook his head.“No, absolutely not. There's no need.”He opened his mouth to speak.“You know, you really can't…”But before he could complete his sentence, Cynthia's phone suddenly started ringing.DONG DONG!DONG DONG!The vibration of the phone cut through his
