The car continued along the highway, moving steadily through the afternoon traffic.

Tyson kept both eyes on the road, occasionally adjusting his grip on the steering wheel. His injured hand was beginning to bother him, but he paid little attention to it.

Beside him, Elena remained unusually quiet.

She had been watching him for several minutes, and her eyes kept returning to the small cut on his hand. The sight reminded her of what had happened earlier. He had placed himself in danger without he

  • Chapter 13: A Dangerous Kindness

    The car continued along the highway, moving steadily through the afternoon traffic.Tyson kept both eyes on the road, occasionally adjusting his grip on the steering wheel. His injured hand was beginning to bother him, but he paid little attention to it.Beside him, Elena remained unusually quiet.She had been watching him for several minutes, and her eyes kept returning to the small cut on his hand. The sight reminded her of what had happened earlier. He had placed himself in danger without hesitation, and even now, he seemed more concerned about continuing their journey than taking care of his injury.Eventually, she broke the silence."Tyson?""Yes?""Let me see your hand."Tyson glanced at her briefly."My hand?""Yes, your hand. Let me see it.""It's fine."Elena frowned."You're bleeding. How can you say it's fine?"Tyson chuckled."I've had worse.""That doesn't mean you should ignore it."She reached towards him, and this time, Tyson allowed her to examine the injury.Elena ca

  • Chapter 12: An Unexpected Encounter

    The car moved steadily along the highway, blending into the morning traffic as Tyson continued driving.He kept his eyes on the road, occasionally checking the navigation displayed on his phone to ensure he was following the correct route. Beside him, Elena sat comfortably in the passenger seat, watching the buildings and vehicles passing outside.For almost thirty minutes, neither of them said much.Tyson wasn't particularly bothered by the silence. He had always been the kind of person who preferred listening rather than participating in unnecessary conversations. Besides, his mind was occupied with more important things.His thoughts kept returning to the hospital.He wondered whether Zeri had eaten breakfast. He wondered whether Sandra had regained consciousness. Most importantly, he wondered how much longer he could continue raising money before time ran out.He tightened his grip slightly on the steering wheel."You're awfully quiet."Elena's voice interrupted his thoughts.Tyso

  • Chapter 11: An Unexpected Assignment

    The following morning, Tyson's phone vibrated on the small table beside his bed.He had barely slept.Throughout the night, his thoughts had repeatedly returned to the hospital. Every time he closed his eyes, he pictured Sandra lying unconscious in her hospital bed and little Zeri fighting for his life.The doctors had been clear about the situation. His son needed urgent treatment, and the money required was far beyond what Tyson could afford.He had already spent almost everything he had trying to keep his family afloat. His delivery job barely provided enough to cover their daily expenses, and now he was faced with a situation where every passing hour seemed to bring another financial burden.He reached for his phone.A message from Dominic was waiting on the screen.Dominic: Be at the mansion by 9 a.m. Your next assignment is waiting.Tyson stared at the message.There was no greeting, no explanation and certainly no room for questions. Dominic had simply given him an instruction,

  • Chapter Ten: The Price of Trust

    Tyson stared at the folder Dominic had placed in front of him.The thick document folder looked ordinary, but something about the way Dominic had presented it made him uneasy."What's inside?" Tyson asked.Dominic leaned back in his chair."An opportunity."Tyson gave a slight nod."You mentioned that already. I want to know what the job involves."Dominic smiled."I appreciate a man who asks questions before accepting responsibility."He opened the folder and removed a sheet of paper."I have several important clients. Some of them require deliveries that cannot be handled by ordinary delivery companies. They value privacy, punctuality and, above all, trust."Tyson listened carefully."And you want me to handle those deliveries?""Not exactly."Dominic placed the paper on the desk."I want you to become one of the people I can depend on when something important needs to be moved."Tyson frowned."What's the difference?""The difference is responsibility. These assignments are more va

  • Chapter Nine: A Growing Interest

    The following morning, Tyson woke up earlier than usual.For the first time in days, he had managed to get a little sleep. But even as he prepared for another day, his mind remained fixed on one thing.The money.He checked his banking application.The balance was higher than it had been a few days ago, but it was still nowhere near the amount the hospital required.Tyson locked his phone and sat at the edge of the bed."Fifty thousand dollars," he muttered.He rubbed his face.There was no time to complain. He had to keep moving.After getting dressed, he picked up his keys and headed out.At the hospital, Sandra was awake when he arrived."Good morning, sleepyhead," she said.Tyson smiled."Good morning to you too."He leaned down and kissed her forehead before taking the chair beside her bed."How are you feeling today?""Better. The nurses have been checking on me.""That's good."Sandra studied his face."Did you sleep?""A little.""Tyson."He looked at her."You need to rest to

  • Chapter Eight: The Price of Desperation

    Dominic watched Tyson leave his office.The young man had barely settled into his new arrangement, yet he was already asking for more work.Dominic found that interesting.Most people who came looking for money were quick to complain when the work became difficult. Tyson, however, seemed determined to keep going.He turned towards James, who was still standing near the door."Find out everything you can about him."James raised an eyebrow."Mr Alan?""Yes. His background, his family, where he lives and what he's been doing.""Understood."Dominic walked towards his desk."And James?""Yes, sir?""Give him another delivery tomorrow. I want to see how reliable he is."James nodded and left.Dominic settled into his chair with a faint smile."Let's see how desperate you really are, Tyson."Meanwhile, Tyson was already thinking about his next assignment.He entered the elevator and checked his phone.There was a message from the hospital.He opened it immediately.Your son's treatment acc
