At the very instant the dagger was about to pierce his ribs, Robin’s body shifted. The blade missed by the barest fraction, grazing his shirt and skin. A thin wound opened across his side, blood trickling down.

“You!” the thug snarled, furious that his strike had failed. His eyes blazed with madness. “I said die!” he roared, thrusting the dagger again with vicious force.

But Robin, though still half-blinded, had already locked onto his intent.

Two fingers snapped forward, catching the blade mid-thrust.

The thug’s face twitched violently. He pressed with all his strength, veins bulging in his neck, but the dagger refused to move an inch forward. It was as though an iron clamp had seized it. Snarling, he tried to yank it back, but it still wouldn’t budge. His bloodshot eyes widened in fury.

“Let go!” he bellowed.

“Hmph.” Robin’s cold snort cut through the air. With the slightest pressure of his fingers—

CRACK!

The dagger shattered into two pieces, fragments clattering a

    A forbidden art?Never attempted before?Only a one percent chance of success?Each word from Robin seemed to drain the color from Chester’s face. His heart sank like a stone. Certainly because it was a forbidden art and its chance of success—that was the reason the art had never been tried before. So, if the odds were that low, how could Mr. Ramsey be sure it would even work? Still… as hopeless as it sounded, there was at least a sliver of possibility—and that was enough to cling to. Swallowing hard, Chester turned to Robin, his voice unsteady but earnest. “If… if it fails, what happens to my Miss?”“She’ll be gone forever,” Robin said plainly.Chester’s knees nearly buckled. His hands trembled, and his throat tightened as tears stung his eyes. He’d never known fear like this before, not even when he was facing the thugs from Abyssal Dominion.“H-how confident are you that it’ll work?” he managed to ask, his voice breaking.“I won’t know until I try."That vague answer made Chester’

    “What?” Robin’s words struck the room like a bolt of lightning. For a moment, it was as if time itself froze. The air grew still—so still that the only sound that could be heard was the quickened breaths of everyone present. Raise someone from the dead? That was madness. No one—no doctor, no scientist—had ever accomplished such a feat. It defied logic, defied everything they knew about life and death. Besides, Robin wasn’t a miracle worker, and he certainly wasn’t a priest, that they'd say he'll perform a miracle, so just how could such a thing be possible? “That’s absurd!” Julian barked, his voice breaking through the heavy silence. “When has anyone ever brought the dead back to life? Do you think you’re some kind of god? Hah! What a joke! You’re nothing but a liar running your mouth!” But then, as if something suddenly clicked in his mind, his words halted. His eyes narrowed sharply, and a sly sneer curved his lips. “Oh, I get it now,” he said darkly. “You’re just saying thi

    The door to Lena's ward swung open and Chester, Robin and the rest walked in.At a corner sat Julian with his legs crossed, his expression nonchalant as if he owned the place. On sighting Robin, a sneer curled his lips. The punk was finally here. But he didn’t bother to stand to greet him—instead, he lounged deeper into his chair. Why would he greet him? The brat was his peer. If anything, he should be the one to greet him. This was the same reason he refused to go down with the others to welcome Robin. He felt such things were beneath him.No one paid him much attention anyway. As soon as they entered, Chester quickly led Robin to the bed. “Please, Mr. Ramsey,” he gestured nervously.“Really clinging to the hope that someone can wake the dead?” Julian remarked snidely, chuckling sarcastically. “I’ve never seen people so delusional.”“Julian, respect yourself!” Clara scowled.“Haha," he chuckled, completely unfazed. “I just can’t wait for your hopes to be crushed.” How sweet it would

    Sheila didn’t protest, sensing the urgency in Robin’s tone. As much as she disliked the idea of him being in the same building with that girl, she knew she couldn’t control his every move, especially when the matter seemed pretty urgent. Besides, it wasn’t as if he seemed to care about Clara that much anyway. With a small nod, she gripped the wheel tighter and swung the car around, heading back toward the hospital.It took a little over an hour before they finally pulled up outside. Sheila had driven as fast as she could, but considering the distance they’d already covered, the return trip naturally took just as long.At the hospital entrance, Clara, Walter, and Chester stood waiting. Chester paced restlessly, checking his watch again and again, unable to stay still for more than a few moments. His anxiety was written all over his face. "Are you sure he’s really coming?" he asked, his voice tight."You’ve asked me that more than twenty times in the last hour, Mr. Chester," Clara repli

    A heavy silence hung in the air as the call started ringing. Julian stared at Clara, stunned she’d actually gone through with it. Was being with him so unbearable that she’d rather pin her hopes on something impossible? He couldn't tell how he felt. But the sudden pain in his chest was unbearable. In Sheila's car, the vehicle was silent as it navigated the streets. Both figures appeared to be deep in their respective thoughts.Just then, the sound of a ringing tone cut through the air, shattering the silence.Robin picked up his phone, frowning at the unknown number. After a brief hesitation, he answered and put it on speaker, too tired to hold the phone to his ear.Just as he did, Clara's voice sounded through the speakers: "Hello, Robin."Sheila's gaze instantly snapped toward the phone, her brows narrowing. Wasn't that the voice of that girl back at the hospital? Why was she calling Robin? Had she not already make it clear Robin was hers?Meanwhile, Robin, hearing the voice, furro

    Chester’s vision burned red at Julian’s words. The gall of this brat! He must have a death wish! A storm of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but before he could lash out, Clara beat him to it... She shot Julian a venomous glare, her voice cold and cutting as she snapped at him, "Shouldn't you be attending to the patients? What are you doing here?" Naturally, Julian would have been furious at her tone, but this time, he felt nothing but bitter satisfaction. He lifted his shoulders in a careless shrug, lips twisting into a smug grin. “I’ve already finished with the patients. Why shouldn’t I be here?” his voice dripped with smugness, one would think he'd won the lottery. But then, it was only his sheer excitement of having the opportunity to undermine Robin, Clara's Knight in shining armor, and getting her so worked up. The feeling was more satisfying than an orgasm could ever be. Clara’s glare only deepened. “Fine, then stay," she hissed, "but keep your mouth shut! Stop st
