2024-10-28 14:58:43As soon as Liam spoke, the room erupted in anger. It was one thing if he did not know how to heal Natalie, but what he was saying now was outright insulting.
“Who the hell do you think you are to question Dr. Barret?” Michael snapped irritably, “Do you even know who he is?”
“I think it’s time you leave since you’re just going to keep interfering with Dr Barret’s treatment.” He demanded coldly.
Liam shifted his gaze across the room and was met with cold, annoyed looks.
He shrugged and heaved a tired sigh.
Over the years, he had cured thousands, but he had also seen hundreds of people die because they refused to trust him. As a healer, he couldn’t force his treatment on anyone.
“Believe it or not, you are actually putting her life at risk by leaving her in the hands of that man.” He said his voice calm but resolute, and without waiting for a response, turned and walked out.
“Get out!” Lisa roared with anger.
However, just when Lisa roared, she heard a scream from a maiden.
"Madam...Miss Natalie..." The maiden's voice trembled.
Lisa turned back shockingly, and she was frightened by what she saw.
Natalie started moaning in pain, her body trembling in discomfort.
Lisa rushed to Doctor Barret, panicking,
“Doctor, please do something.” Lisa cried out.
Noticing that Liam had left the room, Doctor Barret sneered and turned back to the girl, “That arrogant bastard thinks he knows more than me?” He said, his pride clearly hurt.
Lisa tried to smooth things over with him,
“Doctor Barret, please forgive us. Just save my daughter.” She said apologetically, trying to appease him.
“That’s okay,” he replied, and turned towards the maids,
“Hold her still, I’m going to administer the shot.” He added with a look of confidence.
Without question, some of the maids held Natalie down and he administered the injection.
Almost immediately, Natalie’s body became relaxed.
“I told you she’ll be fine,” Doctor Barret said with a smug smile.
“Just give her five more minutes and she’ll be able to get up on her feet.”
For a moment, it looked like he was right. Natalie’s breathing calmed and she became more relaxed.
But, precisely ten seconds later, her breathing suddenly became heavy, and her body shook violently.
Lisa gasped, her mind racing in panic as Natalie vomited blood, and her nose began to bleed, “Doctor, what’s happening to her?”
Mark’s face drained in color as he watched in horror, blood starting to seep from Natalie’s eyes and ears.
“Do something!” He shouted at Doctor Barrett, “I thought you said she was going to be fine, how can this be happening?!”
Doctor Barret stepped back, his confidence shattered, “I…I don’t know how this is possible.” He stammered, staring helplessly.
Michael snapped, his heart racing, “You’re supposed to be an expert!” He yelled helplessly, not sure what to do, “Don’t just stand there, do something! She’s my daughter!”
If his daughter died, he would never be able to forgive himself.
However, right at that moment, he suddenly remembered what Liam had said, his eyes widening in shock.
The young man was right.
Just as he realized this, his phone suddenly rang, stirring him out of his thoughts.
He quickly glanced at the screen and saw that it was Jack Gunter.
Without delay, he quickly answered the call, “Mr. Young, has the Young Master arrived yet?” Jack’s voice came over the other end of the line.
“Young Master? What are you talking about?” Michael asked in confusion.
“I asked Master Moran to help treat your daughter. He should have arrived by now. Haven’t you seen him?” Jack asked curiously.
As soon as Michael heard those words, his hands weakened in shock, his eyes widening as realization hit him like a punch.
The young man he’d just driven away was the famed Master Moran, and the thought made his stomach churn in fear.
Without hesitation, Michael ran out of Natalie’s room, fear and panic surging through him.
He could not believe he’d just spoken so rudely to his young master and only hope of saving his daughter’s life.
He reached the driver just as Liam was waiting for a taxi.
Desperate, he threw himself in front of the car, dropping to his knees with hands clasped in a plea.
Startled, Liam frowned and stared at the man blocking his path.
He stopped the car and quickly stepped out, approaching him with concern,
“Young master, please forgive me,” Michael cried, his forehead pressed to the ground, “I had no idea who you were… You’re the only one who can save my daughter. She’s dying in there. Everything you said was true. Please, please help her.” Michael begged.

Fracture
Aria“Please,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Just let me go.”For a moment, the man didn’t move. Neither of us did, we just stood there in silence torn over what to do next. But then, his jaw tightened and he stepped closer, not aggressively, more like someone approaching a cliff he didn’t want to fall from.“You don’t understand,” he muttered. “You shouldn’t be out of your restraints.”“I can tell you don’t want to do this.” My breath shook. “I saw it that night. You hesitated. You’re not… you’re not like the others.”He flinched like the words stung him.“Don’t say that,” he said quietly. “Don’t make this harder.”I took another step, slow and cautious, keeping my hands where he could see them. “You’re a good man. I can feel it. Whatever Ellen told you, whatever she promised you, this isn’t who you are.”He shut his eyes, but still I could see the pain ripping across his expression as he ran a shaking hand over his face. “You need to stop talking.”But his voice cracked even as
The Meeting
AriaMy eyes were closed for a long time after Ellen walked out of the room following her threat, but my mind was clawing at every sound.I laid on the cold concrete floor exactly where Ellen had left me, and my body twisted at an angle meant to suggest unconsciousness. My wrists burned where the rope dug into my skin and my cheek stung from the slap she’d given me when I refused her ultimatum.‘Leave Zion or destroy him.’The madwoman actually believed threatening the man I loved would bend me. But Ellen made one mistake. She must have thought I couldn’t still hear.I listened through the slow and shallow breaths as two of her new allies entered the warehouse. Their boots echoed between the steel beams.“She’s not going to talk,” one said.“She doesn’t need to,” another replied. “Tonight fixes everything. Ellen’s meeting the guy at the abandoned shipyard.”My pulse stopped the moment I heard them. Shipyard. Right then, the thought suddenly occurred to me. She’s luring Zion.My stomac
The Deadline
ZionI couldn’t sleep or even blink after George gave me the information on the mercenaries, or as it turned out, a hidden network. Every second without Aria felt like someone carving pieces out of my ribs. I paced the length of the woods endlessly, trying to piece things together. Who were these men? What did Ellen have to do with them?Detective Mallorwe had guards stationed around the estate, and drones sweeping the grounds, units patrolling the city border… and still, nothing. Nothing but the echo of Aria’s scream in my skull.Suddenly, my phone buzzed. At first, I stared at it like it was a hallucination. But the second I saw the attached video thumbnail of Aria unconscious, tied, and bruised, my breath left me suddenly. I hesitated for a moment, but then opened it. It was truly her. Her breathing was shallow and her wrists bound.And Ellen’s voice could be heard behind the camera. “Zion… if you ever want to see her alive, you’ll come alone. I’ve sent you the coordinates.”The vi
Ellen’s New Game
AriaI sat on the concrete floor with my wrists tied behind my back and the faint hum of generators echoing somewhere behind me. Every now and then, I heard voices, they tried to be quiet and sounded professional, not like street criminals. These men moved like they were trained for war. And for some reason, they ended up working for Ellen… I still couldn’t process that part.But then the metal door creaked, and my entire body tensed as I heard the footsteps approach delicately, almost graceful. Only one person walked like that in this nightmare. It had to be her.Ellen stepped into the dim cone of light, folding her arms with an eerie calm. She looked refreshed, almost peaceful, as if she’d slept well knowing she had me trapped here.“Good morning, Aria,” she said softly.I glared at her. “It’s still night.”“Well,” she tilted her head, “for you, it doesn’t make much difference, does it?”She walked closer, and her heels tapped on the concrete with a rhythm that made my skin crawl. T
Unleashed
Aria“Ellen,” I whispered, trying to keep myself steady even when her name tasted like poison on my tongue. She stood in front of me, emerging from the darkness of the room like she’d been carved out of the shadows themselves. The faint, sickening smile on her lips told me everything I needed to know. That she wanted this. She wanted me.Before I could speak again, the masked man behind me shoved something over my nose, a cloth drenched in something chemical and my vision spun as soon as I inhaled it, and my strength started fading. Ellen watched me with quiet amusement, like someone observing a struggling insect.“Sweet dreams, Aria,” she murmured.And then the world stopped.ZionWhen Aria’s scream tore through the safehouse, my blood ran cold. I sprinted so hard down that my legs barely felt like they were going to break off. The guards were shouting into radios, and all the alarms were blaring. The air was thick with panic, but I heard none of it. All I heard was Aria. And then no
The Vanishing
AriaThe moment I screamed, everything exploded into chaos. The cold air from the broken window whipped across my skin, and before I could even process the sound of boots thundering toward my door, something…someone yanked me backward. My body hit the jagged edge of the frame, and the pain shot through my ribs as my legs kicked uselessly at the air.“Let go!” I shouted, clawing at the gloved hand clamped around my mouth. My fingers scraped the fabric but it wasn’t enough to keep me in place.Zion was shouting my name somewhere behind me. The guards too. The whole place had gone loud, frantic, but all I could hear clearly was the violent thud of my own heart slamming in my ears.The masked intruder didn’t waste a moment. They hoisted me through the window as if I weighed nothing. My elbows scraped the concrete as we dropped to the ground outside. I gasped, and fought the stars sparking in my vision.“Let me go, you psycho! I swear…” I twisted, trying to break free.“Quiet.” The voice s
