The Second Round Begins
The Post-Op Recovery Ward was unusually calm for a Wednesday afternoon.Machines hummed softly and the overhead lights casted a bright glow. Nurses moved with the quiet routine of a day that promised usual checks and charting.A patient who had undergone a simple minimally invasive procedure rested peacefully beneath warm blankets, his chest rising and falling in a steady and slow rhythm.His vitals had been stable for about three hours straight.Everything about the ward today was normal. It almost felt like it was staged.Lily had walked past earlier, noting how serene everything looked. Even some of the senior nurses had joked."If everyday was like this, MMG would be like a holiday resort.""Yeah! If only—"Then all of a sudden, without warning. A piercing alarm exploded through the ward.Nurses jerked around and heads snapped towards the monitor showing the crashed vitals. Oxygen saturation had plummeted and blood pressure had completely flatlined.The patient's heart rhythm spas
Lillian's Return
For the first time in what had been weeks, Lillian Monroe stepped through the main glass doors of MMG.Her heels struck the marble floors with a sharp and steady rhythm. It was a sound that once blended in effortlessly with the chaos of the hospital, but now, it just echoed in the building.MMG used to feel familiar. She had grown used to the chaos and drama that it brought due to research crisis or overflowing schedules.But now, it just felt completely different.It was calm, and quiet.Security guards were stationed at nearly every intersection, their expressions taut and watchful. New scanning devices hummed near the turnstiles.The front desk was manned by not one staff, but three instead. There were also robotic surveillance units that glided silently on the ceiling tracks.She stood still with a shocked expression. 'I was gone for just two weeks. How did he change everything in such a short amount of time.'Before long, one or two staffs noticed her arrival, and the news instan
Adrian's Fury
After taking Lily to her office, Eric immediately headed towards the board meeting room with hurried steps.The moment Adrian stepped out of the boardroom, the double doors barely closing behind him, Eric was already there— in the hallway with a clenched jaw.“Adrian,” he said firmly.Adrian stopped mid-stride. He read people the way most read text—for him, one glance at Eric’s posture was enough to know something had gone very, very wrong.“What happened?” Adrian asked immediately.Eric didn't waste time. “It's Lily,” he begins. “She was cornered in the stairwell."Adrian's expression froze completely— his entire demeanor shifted in a heartbeat. The calculating and composed CEO was gone, and was replaced with something colder.“How far did it go?” he asked quietly.Eric shook his head. “I got to her before anything could happen. But she was most definitely being followed. The only reason why I was able to get there in time was because I was around that area, and I was tracking her at
The First Counter-Sabotage
The next night, Adrian decided to spend his entire night in his office once again. Finding out about the Ghost Surgeon made him reconsider all the protocols he had already created.If it was the Ghost Surgeon he had heard about, then the current security systems he had placed would work at all.In front of him sat scattered blueprints laid across his desk and multiple screens, glowing around him and illuminating the dark room. Each of the screens displayed multiple internal security frameworks he had drafted.Adrian's pen scratched across one of the papers with sharp, decisive strokes. Each motion was efficient as he tore apart MMG's existing security structure and reassembled it from the ground up.He kept on erasing entire systems with the casual precision of someone drawing and erasing basic shapes. In their place, he designed new frameworks that were tighter and faster. Frameworks he felt could at least restrict the Ghost Surgeon's access to some things in MMGHe didn't need rest
The Guard's Testimony
It had already been a full week since the Blackout in MMG. And during that week, a lot had happened. Firstly, most, if not all systems had already been restored to what it once was.Of course after watching the news, other medical groups had tried to use the Blackout as a reason to question Adrian and how he took care of MMG and the patients, but sadly for them— Adrian was able to answer each of their questions in a way that made them back of.Some staff also started becoming suspicious of the recent problems MMG had faced. It was becoming to much to be ignored.Some even began to put the blame on Adrian, saying that he never cared about the company and doesn't even care if MMG was destroyed. Of course Adrian ignored all their remarks.His main attention was on finding the Infiltrator before they could cause any more problems, but for some strange reason— there has been no big or small moves made at MMG, everything just moved at a normal pace.Adrian didn't draw any conclusions yet, a
Monroe Family Scramble
The next morning, in William's study room, both Lillian and William sat together in the middle of the room when Robert suddenly burst through the door with a panicked expression."Robert!!!" William shouted. "How dare you barge in here like that! Don't you know how to knock?""I'm sorry!" Robert exhaled sharply as he grabbed his knees, clearly tired since he had run all the way here. "But...have you...seen the news!" He pointed at the large flat screen TV.Both Lillian and William stared at Robert with a questioning gaze. "What the hell are you talking about—?" Lily muttered as she grabbed the remote and turned on the screen.It immediately showed one of the news channels and it immediately caused both of their eyes to widen."I- Isn't that MMG?! What is the news doing there?" Lily questioned as she stared at the TV with a burning gaze.THIS JUST IN!! IT HAS JUST BEEN CONFIRMED BY AN UNKNOWN SOURCE THAT THE POPULAR METROPOLITAN MEDICAL GROUP HAS SUFFERED FROM A BLACKOUT."What the hel
