Chapter 169: The Safest Hands
"Daniella!!"The sound of Moses' continuous screaming tore through the morning stillness of the hospital corridor. And in no time, the door to his room bursted open.Two nurses entered first, followed closely by a doctor. Their presence filled the room quickly as they closed around Moses' bed."Sir, you need to lie back–""Careful, he mustn't strain–"Moses barely heard these. His gaze darted wildly, searching the room in great horror."Daniella...she was just here–" he forced out, his voice cracking against the dryness in his throat. "Daniella–!"His body lurched once more, a crude attempt to rise that only collapsed under the weight of pain. One of the nurses quickly moved to steady him, her hands pressing firmly against his shoulder."Please sir, you're going to worsen your condition–""Get off–!" The resistance came too weakly. "My shares. The–my rights to ownership!"The doctor stepped closer. "He's clearly facing a trauma. We need to calm him down."Moses shook his head, breath
Chapter 168: The Quiet Transfer
Consciousness returned to Moses in fragments. Pale light first pressed against his eyelids before he could properly open them. When his eyes finally parted, everywhere was blurred.He blinked severally just as a dull ache began to rise. But it was quick to spread all through his body.A strained breath left him as he attempted to move. But his muscles responded very poorly, and the pain he felt sharpened violently.He swallowed hard, his throat dry. He tried to speak, but his throat failed him.When he tried once more, his second attempt was better."Dan–"A hand instantly pressed against his chest."Easy my love," it said. "Don't try to move just yet."Moses stilled, turning his head slowly toward the sound. His vision struggled again, then steadied just enough for a face to form out of the blur.Recognition came quickly."Daniella...." he muttered. Relied flickered faintly across her features, softening the seriousness in her eyes."I'm glad you're awake," she said gently with a
Chapter 167: A Jolly Old Man or More
Derrick changed into a pair of loose dark pyjamas before stepping out of the room with Ivy.Everyone was already seated around the dining table when they got there.Pa Lorenzo sat at the head of the table, his posture upright. His face carried a sort of brightness that Derrick hadn't seen in a long time. Ma Lorenzo sat right beside him, her expression composed but distant, and her fingers resting lightly against her cutlery.Ivy's parents were seated just further down. They were engaged in a quiet conversation as Derrick entered. Elissa, Samantha, and Jane occupied the other side right next to Moses’ mother.She sat slightly apart, her posture relaxed, and her face unreadable as always. She had no visible strain, and no sign of grief in any way–only the same blank stillness that made it impossible to tell what she felt. Derrick inclined his head slightly. “Good evening all."“Ah, Derrick!” Pa Lorenzo responded almost immediately, his voice carrying a cheerful weight that made Derric
Chapter 166: Fragile Outcomes
"They're alive," Derrick finally said. "Unconscious, but alive."The tension in Ivy’s shoulders eased a bit."That's quite a relief to hear," she said in a near whisper.Derrick leaned back slightly, then exhaled.“The doctors stabilized them for now,” he continued. “But it’s not simple. There’s internal trauma, and they're being monitored closely. The option of surgery hasn’t been ruled out yet."Ivy’s fingers tightened together in her lap.“And because of that,” Derrick added, “they asked for someone from each of their families or friends to stand in. Consent, decisions. You know...just in case anything urgent comes up.”Ivy nodded slowly.“So...who stood in for Moses?” she asked.Derrick shifted slightly.“That woman,” he said. “The one we’ve seen around him at the Lorenzo Group. She was contacted. She showed up almost immediately.”Ivy’s brows drew together faintly as she processed that, but she didn’t linger on it."Okay," she said. "And Vivian?"This time, Derrick hesitated. The
Chapter 165: What Remains
Derrick stopped the moment he stepped through the hospital doors.His eyes met Ivy's across the lobby, and in that instant, she saw the urgency that lay in it.For a second, neither of them moved.Then Dominic brushed past Derrick, his pace unbroken. He swiftly headed toward the direction the stretchers had disappeared. But Derrick didn’t follow. He remained where he stood, eyes still fixed on Ivy. He didn't expect to meet her there, as he thought she would have left for home by then. Now, here he was–standing right before his wife with no reasonable explanation.Ivy took a step toward him, her gaze flicking briefly around the lobby before settling back on him."Go," she said in a voice barely above a whisper. There was no hesitation in her voice, only understanding.Derrick nodded once, then he turned and dashed forward—his stride quick and purposeful as he disappeared down the corridor after Dominic.Ivy watched him until he vanished from sight. Then she exhaled slowly.“You’re luc
Chapter 164: Convergence
“I’m sorry… what?” Ivy said, her voice breaking with disappointment.She was standing near one of the pillars in the hospital lobby, one hand resting lightly against her lower back. The afternoon light filtered in through the glass panels, and it cast a calm glow over the polished floors–the kind that brought reassurance with it.But Ivy's expression had shifted. Her brows drew together as she rubbed her forehead slowly, trying to make sense of what Derrick just told her.“Derrick,” she continued, her tone steadier now but edged with confusion, “that wasn’t the plan we made.”Just a few feet away, a nurse passed by with a clipboard. A child also laughed somewhere near the entrance.“You said you were picking me up,” she added. “So what’s really going on?”There was a pause.Derrick exhaled quietly on the other end, glancing briefly at Dominic before turning his attention back to the call.“Something came up,” he said, keeping his voice even. “It’s… quite urgent. I need a little more t
