Chapter 256
Three weeks had passed since the specialist doctors Damon hired arrived to treat Edward Sterling. The medical team had worked around the clock, using cutting-edge treatments and procedures to reverse the damage from Vanessa's poison.Damon stood outside his father's hospital room with Arthur, who had just given him an update on Edward's condition."The doctors say it's a miracle," Arthur said, his voice filled with relief. "Your father's kidneys are starting to function properly again. His other organs are responding well to treatment. They think he'll make a full recovery.""That's good news," Damon replied, though his tone was neutral."He keeps asking to see you," Arthur added. "He wants to thank you properly for saving his life."Damon nodded and pushed open the door to Edward's room. His father sat up in bed looking much better than the last time Damon had visited. Color had returned to his face, and his eyes were clear now."Damon," Edward said, his voice stronger as well."I ca

Anthony stared at the text message from Damon for a full five minutes. His hands shook slightly as he read it over and over again.Vivienne had confessed her feelings to Damon. Damon had rejected her gently. And now Damon was telling him this might be the right time to approach her."I can't do this," Anthony muttered to himself, setting his phone down on his desk. "What if she's too hurt right now? What if confessing my feelings makes everything worse?"But Damon's words kept echoing in his mind. She deserves to know someone genuinely cares about her.Anthony stood up and walked to the window of his office, looking out at the city below. He'd been in love with Vivienne for years, but he couldn't say anything to her, there was always some reason to stay silent, some excuse to wait a little longer.But maybe waiting was the problem. Maybe he'd been waiting so long that he'd missed every possible opportunity.Anthony pulled out his phone and called Vivienne's number before he could talk

Damon walked out of the hospital and found Anthony waiting for him in the parking lot, leaning against his car."How did it go?" Anthony asked."About as well as could be expected," Damon replied. "Edward understands I'm not forgiving him, but he's grateful for the chance to live.""And how do you feel about all of this?"Damon leaned against the car beside Anthony. "Honestly? I don't know. Part of me still wants to let him die. But the bigger part knows that's not who I want to be.""You're doing the right thing," Anthony assured him. "Even if it's difficult."Damon's phone rang. He pulled it out and saw Vivienne's name on the screen. He hadn't spoken to her since before the kidnapping happened."Hello, Vivienne.""Damon!" Her voice sounded relieved. "I've been trying to reach you for days. I heard about what happened with Celia and her parents. Are they okay?""They're safe now. We're all recovering.""Thank god. I was so worried when I saw the news. Is there anything I can do to he

Two weeks had passed and Damon stood outside his father's hospital room, staring at the closed door. He'd been avoiding this moment, putting it off day after day, but he couldn't delay any longer.Anthony appeared beside him, placing a supportive hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to do this if you're not ready.""I am ready," Damon said, though his voice didn't sound convinced. "I've made my decision. I'm going to save him.""I'm proud of you for this," Anthony said. "It takes a strong person to help someone who hurt them so deeply."Damon took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Edward lay in the hospital bed looking even worse than the last time Damon had seen him. His skin was gray, his breathing shallow, and machines beeped steadily around him monitoring his failing organs.Arthur sat in the chair beside the bed. He stood up immediately when Damon entered. "Mr. Damon. Good morning."Damon walked closer to the bed and looked down at his father's unconscious face."The docto
Chapter 252
Three days had passed since the kidnapping. Celia and her parents were released from the hospital with instructions to rest and recover at home. Damon had stayed with them the entire time, refusing to leave Celia's side even for a moment.Now they sat in Detective Morrison's office at the police station. Serena had been brought in for official questioning, and Damon had insisted on being present."Are you sure you want to be here for this?" Morrison asked Damon. "It might be difficult to control your anger.""Don't worry about that, detective. I need to hear it," Damon replied firmly. "I need to understand why she thought killing innocent people was acceptable."Morrison nodded and pressed the button on the intercom. "Bring in Miss Vance."Two officers led Serena into the room in handcuffs. She had bandages on her arms and a cut on her forehead from the van crash. But her eyes immediately locked onto Damon with desperate hope."Damon!" Serena said, trying to move toward him. The offic
Chapter 251
The hospital waiting room was filled with police officers, medical staff rushing back and forth, and the sound of Serena's voice still screaming from somewhere down the hallway where they were treating her injuries. Damon sat in a chair with his head bandaged, holding an ice pack against his bruised ribs. The doctors had checked him over and confirmed nothing was broken, just badly bruised. He refused to leave until he knew Celia and her parents were okay. Detective Morrison approached with his notepad. "Mr. Sterling, I need to get your full statement about what happened tonight." "Where's Celia?" Damon asked immediately. "Is she okay?" "Miss Greene is being examined in room three. She has cuts and bruises but nothing serious. Her mother is with her." "And her father?" Morrison's expression became more serious. "Mr. Greene lost a lot of blood from the head wound. They're working on him now. The doctors say he should recover, but they want to keep him here for observation." Damo
