THERE IS STILL HOPE
The gynecologist did not move immediately. Ethan stood directly in front of him, his expression cold enough to remove any doubt about how serious he was. Behind Ethan, Brigadier General Lorne and the other Tribunal officer remained silent, but their presence made the narrow hospital corridor feel even smaller.The doctor drew in a slow breath. “Mr. Xavier, I understand that you are worried, but your wife needs rest. She has just come through a serious medical crisis, and unnecessary emotional stimulation is not what I want for her right now.”Ethan did not move aside. “I don’t need to wake her. I need to see her,” he said, keeping his voice low. “I have already stood outside those doors while you did what you said was necessary. I am not leaving this hospital without seeing her.”The gynecologist tried to remain firm. “I’m asking you to respect my judgment. Your wife is still being monitored, and I have a responsibility to decide what is best for her condition.” He straightened slight
TAKE ME TO MY WIFE
The gynecologist stopped. “Mrs. Xavier responded to treatment,” he replied carefully. “Her condition required urgent attention, but she has shown a response.”Ethan studied the doctor instead of accepting the answer. He had spent too many years listening to officials hide bad news behind careful language. Right now, he had no patience for it.“What exactly does that mean?” Ethan asked.“It means we managed to stabilize certain immediate concerns,” the doctor replied.“That still sounds like you’re avoiding the question.”The gynecologist held his gaze. “Then ask me exactly what you need to know.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed. “Are they alive, my wife and child?” he asked. He did not allow the doctor to hide behind vague words. “I want a direct answer.”The doctor nodded. “Your wife is alive. We are continuing to monitor her and the pregnancy closely.” His voice became more reassuring. “She has been through a severe crisis, but there is reason for hope.”Ethan released a breath he had not rea
THIRTY MISSED CALLS
Ethan had never hated a closed door this much. He paced along the hospital corridor with both hands behind his back, turning every few seconds to look toward the emergency ward. Brigadier General Lorne and another Tribunal officer stood several feet away, watching him without saying much. Neither man needed to be told that Ethan was barely holding himself together.His phone vibrated inside his pocket again. Ethan pulled it out, glanced at the screen, and saw another call from Xavier Group headquarters. He rejected it without hesitation and slipped the phone back into his pocket. Less than a minute later, it started ringing again, this time from a senior Tribunal military personnel contact.Ethan stared at the name until the call ended by itself. Under normal circumstances, repeated calls from both Xavier Group and senior Tribunal personnel would have demanded his attention. Tonight, he could not force himself to care.The Tribunal officer glanced at the phone. “Sir, should I find ou
THE INJECTION
The gynaecologist knew what he was doing. He meant to kill her and he hated the fact that a junior nurse was getting in his way.He could not simply dismiss her concern without explanation. Ethan was only outside the ward, and one frightened nurse raising an alarm could bring him back within seconds. The doctor needed obedience, not panic.“Doctor, I’m not questioning your position,” the nurse said carefully. “I’m questioning whether this is worth the risk.”His jaw tightened. “Your concern has been heard. Now follow my instruction.”The nurse glanced toward Selene again, clearly dissatisfied. "I...I am not sure about this." She said.The doctor’s noticed her and then his gaze hardened. “Are you taking responsibility for this patient now?” he asked. He held out his hand and waited. “If you intend to override the attending specialist, say it clearly and place your name behind that decision.”The challenge changed the atmosphere immediately. Another nurse nearby stopped arranging equipm
A DANGEROUS CHOICE
Ethan’s expression hardened the moment the gynecologist ordered everyone out of the ward. Selene had warned him only minutes earlier that something terrible was waiting inside this hospital, and now the first person she had trusted with her pregnancy wanted him separated from her. He remained beside the stretcher and held Selene’s weak hand. “No. You treat her, but I’m staying here.”The gynecologist did not show irritation. He had expected resistance, especially after seeing how closely Ethan had followed the stretcher from the entrance. “Mr. Xavier, I understand why you want to remain with your wife,” he said calmly. “But we need room to work, and we need everyone here focused completely on her condition.”Ethan looked around the ward. There was enough space for the nurses to move, and nobody appeared unable to work because of him. “My standing beside her isn’t stopping anyone,” he replied. “I won’t touch your equipment, and I won’t interfere with your staff. I’m staying where she
THE ENEMY IN A WHITE COAT
“You’re frightened,” Ethan said, though he was no longer sure he believed his own explanation. “That’s all. They’re going to help you.”Selene tightened her grip again. “No.”Ethan stared at her.She pulled him closer, her voice becoming weaker. “Something terrible is waiting here.”Ethan searched her face. This was not the stubborn Selene who usually challenged him without fear. Whatever she sensed had frightened her at the exact moment when she was already physically helpless.“What are you afraid of?” Ethan asked. “Someone in this hospital?”Selene struggled to focus on him. “I can't tell.”“Then how do you know we're in danger?”“Because I've felt this before,” she whispered.A chill ran through him.He immediately looked around.Doctors moved between rooms. Nurses pushed equipment through the corridor. Patients sat near the emergency stations while security officers remained farther behind.Everything looked normal.That was the problem. Ethan could identify an armed threat, a su
