CHAPTER 125 - THE GRAY MANSION (2)
Chris was a man in his early thirties who had already assumed a major role in managing the Gray family's business empire.His expensive suit and controlled posture gave him the appearance of someone accustomed to being obeyed, but the worry in his eyes made it clear that none of his business experience had prepared him for seeing his younger sister lying helplessly on a hospital bed.Maria was seated near Chelsea, her face drawn with exhaustion as she held her daughter's hand.The moment Julia entered, Chris looked toward the door.His expression immediately hardened. "Where have you been?"Julia stopped.Chris rose from his chair. "I've been asking where you were for hours."Julia opened her mouth, but Chris didn't give her the opportunity to answer."You're Chelsea's personal secretary. Your job is to stay with her, especially when she's in a condition like this. Yet while my sister has been getting worse, you disappear without telling anyone where you're going.""I'm sorry, Master.

CHAPTER 121 - REPLACEMENT
The team's head coach had been observing the exchange from near the sideline. He walked toward them with a measured expression, his eyes briefly dropping toward Luke's injured legs before returning to his face. "I'm glad to see you're doing better," the coach said. "Thanks, Coach." "I heard about what happened." The coach's expression became more serious. "It was unfortunate, and I'm sorry you had to go through something like that. How are you feeling now?" "I'm getting better. The doctors said I need rehabilitation, but they expect me to recover." "That's good." The coach paused briefly before continuing. "I'd like to speak with you in my office when you have a moment." Luke nodded. "Sure." The coach turned toward the others. "You guys get back to practice."

Once they reached the hallway, the coa
CHAPTER 120 - DISCHARGE
Outside the hospital, Luke was already sitting in a wheelchair while Ryan stood beside him. Luke glanced down the road impatiently. "Why are we still standing here?" Ryan looked at him. "What do you mean?" "We could have stopped a cab already." Ryan shook his head. "Dylan told me to wait for him." "When?" "Earlier." Luke frowned. "And you didn't think to tell me?"

Then, just as he was about to complain again, a sleek Mercedes-AMG sedan turned into the hospital entrance. The vehicle slowed down before coming to a stop directly in front of them. Luke and Ryan stared at it. Neither of them spoke. Ryan's eyebrows rose. "That's..." Luke stared at the car. "That's an AMG." The driver's door opened. Dylan stepped out. "Sorry I'm late. I got caught up with something at home." Neither Luke
