I DON'T KNOW
"I'm not sure," Ethan sighed heavily while staring at the letter. "I don't even understand what exactly Grandfather was trying to tell me with this."Scarlett remained silent for a moment before finally asking the question that had been lingering in her mind."Do you trust your grandfather?"Her quiet voice broke the heavy silence hanging inside the hospital room.Morning sunlight was still passing through the large windows, but neither Ethan nor Scarlett paid any attention to it anymore.The letter remained spread open between them, more specifically, the final page.The page containing only a single name, nothing else, there's no explanation or clue, not even evidence to prove the claim of Ethan's grandfather.Just one name, as if it decides everything.Ethan stared at it silently for a long time, his expression remained unreadable, yet something inside his eyes had changed, because out of everything his grandfather could have left behind... He left this.Scarlett continued watching
THE REAL TARGET WAS YOU
"Did you even look at yourself?" Scarlett scolded while folding her arms across her chest. "You look paler than a ghost, and your body is weaker than a child's right now. The only things you're supposed to do are eat properly, rest, and focus on recovering."Her voice broke the peaceful silence inside the private hospital room the following morning.Golden sunlight filtered softly through the windows while the city slowly returned to life outside.For the first time in a long time, the atmosphere felt calm.No police sirens.... No reporters.... No family drama.Only Ethan and Scarlett inside the room.Ethan sat against the hospital bed while finishing breakfast reluctantly under Scarlett's supervision.Across from them stood one of Scarlett's trusted security personnel.The man held a sealed envelope carefully in his hands."We found this among the belongings recovered from your grandfather's private study in old Carvendish Mansion, Mr. Ethan," he explained respectfully.Ethan immedia
YOU'RE THE PATIENT
"How much more can one person endure before he finally breaks?"The senior doctor's quiet voice carried through the hospital room while Scarlett stood silently beside Ethan's bed.Outside, the chaos surrounding the Carvendish family's arrest continued dominating every news channel.Inside the room, however, the atmosphere felt completely different, quiet, heavy…. Painfully quiet.Ethan remained unconscious beneath the white hospital blankets.Several bruises were visible along his arms and shoulders from the struggle earlier.The Dragon Ring rested quietly against his finger once again as if nothing unusual had happened.Scarlett stood near the bed while the doctors continued reviewing Ethan's latest examination results.The more they looked, the darker their expressions became.Finally, one of the senior doctors removed his glasses, his face looked troubled."Mrs. Scarlett..."Scarlett immediately looked toward him."Tell me."The doctor hesitated briefly, then quietly answered. "Mr.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT
“Ethan is my son, and I have every right to decide what happens to him,” Jerome said coldly.Hailey immediately nodded in agreement.“That's right,” she added emotionally. “We are his parents. You have no right to question us. Ethan is our son, and he is obligated to obey us.”Several officers exchanged glances before one of them stepped forward.“No,” the officer replied firmly. “That argument might have worked years ago, but not anymore. From what we've gathered, your family severed ties with Mr. Ethan long ago. According to multiple statements and records, you repeatedly denied any responsibility toward him. You don't get to disown someone when it's convenient and then claim ownership over them when you need something…. Even if he is your son, still you've no right to put his life in danger, Mrs. Carvendish…. Ms. Scarlett clearly asked us not to spare anyone who touched her husband.” Jerome's expression instantly darkened.Sally immediately lost her temper and shouted angrily. “Wh
I BELIEVE WE HAVE ENOUGH TO PROCEED
"How about you explain something first, Mr. Charlie Carvendish?" The investigator crossed his arms and asked in a calm tone that sounded more dangerous than a loud or aggressive tone. "Why were you informed by the hospital that everything had been prepared before Ethan even arrived? And why were you granted access to the security footage of the room where Ethan was being restrained? These aren't privileges given to ordinary patients, so I'd like to know exactly what was going on."For the first time since the interrogation began, Charlie's composure visibly cracked.His fingers tightened unconsciously around the hospital blanket while several police officers watched him carefully.The room remained completely silent.Nobody rushed to answer for him.... Nobody interrupted.Because the evidence sitting inside the investigator's hands had already made excuses far more difficult than before.Charlie forced a weak smile onto his face."You are misunderstanding everything here," he said qu
WE FOUND SOMETHING
"Yes," the man nodded with a hesitated face, "he has been watching everything...." "What exactly do you mean he was watching?"The question escaped Hailey's lips almost immediately after hearing the investigator's words from the doorway.Neither gave a proper reply to her, they're just busy with their investigation.The atmosphere outside Charlie's hospital room turned noticeably heavier.Several police officers exchanged glances while one investigator continued examining the surveillance logs displayed on the tablet in his hands.His expression remained serious.Far too serious."This security system records every access request," he explained calmly. "According to the logs, Mr. Charlie Carvendish was connected to the camera feed monitoring Mr. Ethan Carvendish's room."Sally frowned immediately."So what?" she demanded. "Charlie must be worried about Ethan. Maybe he wanted to know what was happening."The investigator slowly lifted his gaze toward her."The connection remained acti
