Meanwhile, in the city of Yeruss. Rachel managed to escape. She left Thom’s house through the back door, running as fast as she could through the narrow alleys behind the residential area, took a taxi to the train station, changed trains twice, then took a bus to the airport. Everything was done in panic, without a plan, driven only by the instinct to survive. She arrived at the airport with sweat soaking her entire body, her perfume long gone, her sky-blue dress wrinkled and slightly torn at the sleeve from getting caught. She bought a plane ticket to the city of Yeruss, the last available destination. The plane took off an hour later. As the plane ascended, Rachel stared out the window, watching the city that had been the backdrop of her entire life slowly shrink, turning into tiny dots, then disappearing behind the clouds. After landing at Yeruss Airport, Rachel immediately turned on her phone. The screen was flooded with news notifications. Her face was displayed everywhere.
Chapter 253
Mr. Edmund walked out of Madam Yosie’s treatment room with a pale face and trembling steps. His wife was still lying inside, connected to an IV and a heart monitor. The doctor said Madam Yosie had suffered severe shock. Her blood pressure had spiked, then dropped drastically. She needed to be hospitalized for at least one night for observation. Mr. Edmund could only nod helplessly as the doctor explained, having no energy to ask further questions. He walked to the waiting room with a chaotic mind. Rachel had become a fugitive. Rachel had sold her own child. His wife had fainted. And now, Thom stood in front of him holding a piece of paper. "Please read this," Thom said, handing over the brown envelope. Mr. Edmund accepted it with trembling hands. He opened the envelope slowly, took out the paper inside, and read it. His eyes moved from the first line to the last. His face changed from pale to white like the paper in his hands. "How is this possible?" whispered Mr. Edmund, his voic

Before Madam Yosie and Mr. Edmund arrived, before the chaos in the waiting room, Thom had already taken the first step. He could not just stay silent after finding out that his blood was not compatible with Shenina’s. That was the first clue, but not absolute proof. Blood types could lie? No. But DNA never lies.Thom called Doctor Rizki to a quieter corner of the room, far from the ears of nurses and other patients."Doctor, I need something.""Anything, Sir,” the doctor replied.Thom looked the doctor straight in the eyes. "A DNA test. Me and Shenina. Do it now."Doctor Rizki was shocked. "Sir, DNA test procedures usually take several days, even weeks. We have to send the samples to a forensic laboratory in the capital—""I do not have days,” Thom said.Doctor Rizki fell silent, he did not dare to argue with a King of War. So he nodded, “Alright, Sir.”Doctor Rizki nodded. "Alright, Sir. I will take samples from you and from Shenina. The results will be ready in one to two hours."T

A few hours later, the atmosphere in the ER waiting room, which had been quiet, turned crowded. Hurried footsteps were heard from the end of the corridor. Mr. Edmund and Madam Yosie appeared, followed by Jasmine, who still looked pale with red marks on her neck. Jasmine managed to catch up with them after Ukaz drove her there.Madam Yosie’s face was flushed red before she even saw Thom. The moment her eyes caught sight of Thom sitting on the chair, she immediately rushed forward. Mr. Edmund tried to hold his wife back, but Madam Yosie roughly shook off his hand."Thom!" Madam Yosie shouted, her voice echoing throughout the waiting room. Several people turned their heads. A nurse who was passing by paused for a moment, then chose to leave, not wanting to get involved. "This is all because of you! You have never been able to take good care of Shenina!"Thom did not move. His eyes remained fixed straight ahead.Madam Yosie grew even angrier at that indifference. "You should have been m

Ukaz never truly had time off. As Jasmine’s personal bodyguard, he was always on standby twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Even when he was not by Jasmine’s side, his phone was always in his grasp, ready to receive any news.Today, that news came from a fellow Delta Force member. "Shenina has been kidnapped. King is at the hospital. You must return to the house and guard Miss Jasmine."Ukaz did not ask further. He immediately rushed toward Thom’s house in his car, driving slightly over the speed limit.When he arrived at the front gate, he noticed something strange. The front door was not fully closed. There was still a gap. Ukaz stepped out of the car without turning off the engine. His steps were quick toward the door, his right hand already reaching for the pistol grip at his waist.The door swung open wide.Inside, Ukaz saw a scene that made his blood boil.Rachel stood in the middle of the living room, both her hands wrapped around Jasmine’s neck. Jasmine’s face was red

Truly, within ten minutes, Thom returned. The elevator doors on the ER floor opened. Thom stepped out with steady strides, behind him were two female nurses in white-blue military uniforms, each carrying a blue cooler box with a red cross sticker and a Delta Force emblem in the corner. The boxes contained fresh AB blood bags, obtained directly from Fort Memorial Military Hospital.Doctor Rizki, who was still standing near Shenina’s treatment room, widened his eyes. His mouth hung open in disbelief. Beside him, two other nurses also fell silent. A young doctor who had just walked past almost dropped the clipboard in his hand.“How... how is this possible?” Doctor Rizki whispered.He looked at the clock on the wall. Ten minutes. From the public hospital to Fort Memorial Military Hospital alone would take twenty minutes by car at the fastest. Not to mention the administrative process, data verification, retrieving the stock, and the return trip. Ten minutes was an impossible amount of t
