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
WHICH PATIENT?
"What police? Why are they here?"For the first time that entire night, genuine panic appeared across Jerome's face as he stared toward the flashing red and blue lights illuminating the hospital windows.The atmosphere inside the treatment room changed instantly.Only moments ago, Jerome had still believed he could regain control of the situation.Now, that confidence was rapidly disappearing.Several injured security guards exchanged nervous glances while the distant sirens continued growing louder with every passing second.Sally immediately turned toward Scarlett with visible fury, and her face had become pale from shock and anger."Who the hell do you think you are?" she snapped. "What right do you have to bring the police here? This is a private family matter!"Scarlett slowly removed a speck of dust from her sleeve before lifting her gaze toward Sally.Unlike everyone else inside the room, she looked completely calm.Almost bored."A private family matter?" she repeated quietly
STAGE TWO: AWAKENING
"I don't care what you'll do," Jerome commanded in a cold tone, "but that bastard shouldn't leave this room till the blood transfusion is done!" The treatment room was in chaos, while armed security personnel slowly tightened the circle surrounding Ethan.The atmosphere had become suffocating, doctors stood visibly frozen while the nurses retreated toward the walls one by one.Even the medical equipment continued malfunctioning intermittently as if reacting to the abnormal energy filling the room.Ethan remained standing near the hospital bed, the broken restraints lay scattered across the floor around him, his breathing remained uneven as the fragments of anaesthesia is still pulling him down but he is still trying his best to stand firmly.The Dragon Ring continued radiating unbearable heat against his finger while every muscle inside his body felt alive in a way he had never experienced before.The world around him seemed slower, sharper and clearer.Every heartbeat echoed inside
RESTRAIN HIM!
"What the hell is happening in that damn room?" Charlie asked in a confused voice as he couldn't understand anything while watching through the security monitor showing Ethan’s treatment room.The image flickered repeatedly.Static crawled across the screen, medical equipment malfunctioned one after another.For several seconds, Charlie could barely understand what he was seeing.Inside the treatment room, the atmosphere had become increasingly unstable.The temperature continued fluctuating unnaturally.One moment the air felt freezing and the next, it felt suffocatingly hot.Several nurses instinctively stepped backward while staring toward Ethan in growing alarm.The Dragon Ring wrapped around Ethan’s finger glowed faintly beneath the hospital lights.Not brightly.... Not enough for everyone to notice immediately.But enough for Ethan to feel it.The burning sensation spreading through his body became almost unbearable.Every nerve felt as if molten metal had been poured directly
EVEN IF I DIE
“Mr. Jerome….”Jerome raised a hand not allowing the doctor to continue, “stop wasting the time and start the procedure!” The doctor looked toward Ethan again after listening to Jerome.The unconscious man lying restrained against the hospital bed no longer looked like a willing donor.Only someone being prepared for sacrifice.And somehow, that realization unsettled even the medical staff deeply.Several moments later, Ethan’s fingers twitched faintly beneath the restraints.Then slowly, his consciousness began returning.The bright overhead lights immediately stabbed painfully into his vision.A sharp metallic smell filled the room, and machines beeped continuously nearby.Ethan frowned weakly afterward before instinctively trying to move.The restraints stopped him immediately, his eyes instantly sharpened.For several seconds, confusion flickered faintly across his expression before realization slowly settled in.Restrained…. Drugged…. Hospital room.Then Ethan’s gaze shifted tow
