Chapter 052: The Confrontation
Before Harvey and Henry could respond to the knock, the door opened, and a nurse stepped inside with a cheerful smile directed at Henry. Her gaze swept across the room, taking in the two men by the window, and she chuckled lightly.“Looks like you’ve got quite the party going on in here,” she teased as she placed a small tray on the nearby table.Her remark had barely settled when Jane and Sofia entered behind her.Harvey froze at the sight of them. Surprise flickered across his face, leaving him momentarily unable to speak.For a brief moment, his gaze met Henry’s, but the look they exchanged offered little reassurance.Henry’s expression tightened. He shifted his weight onto his uninjured leg, his discomfort evident despite his attempt to conceal it.The nurse, seemingly oblivious to the tension in the room, offered Henry another warm smile. “Call if you need anything.," she said with a playful wink before slipping out and quietly closing the door behind her.Silence settled over
Chapter 051: The Silence Between Them
Harvey stepped out of the taxi beneath the broad glass canopy of St. Luke’s Hospital. The morning light reflected off the wet pavement, throwing a pale sheen across the entrance as he paused to steady himself.His left side throbbed with every step. The bandages beneath his borrowed shirt pulled against his skin whenever he shifted his weight, forcing him to move more carefully than he would have liked. Still, he kept his expression composed and headed through the automatic doors.The lobby was unusually quiet. A few low voices carried through the open space as he crossed toward the elevators. Moments later, the doors closed behind him, carrying him up to the familiar floor.The corridor greeted him with the sharp smell of antiseptic mixed with stale coffee. Harvey slowed as he approached Henry’s room, then stopped outside the door and took a slow breath.He pushed it open.Henry stood by the window with his back to the room, one hand resting against the sill. Beyond the glass, the c

Harvey leaned forward in the back seat of the taxi, one hand pressed against his injured side as the movement sent another dull ache through him.“St. Luke’s,” he told the driver, keeping his voice low and controlled. “Take the expressway if you can. I’ll guide you from there.”The driver nodded and eased into traffic.Harvey had barely finished pointing out the next turn when his phone vibrated against his thigh. He pulled it from his pocket, expecting to see Henry’s name again.Instead, Raj Patel’s name appeared on the screen.Harvey’s thumb hovered over the answer icon.For several seconds, he simply stared at it, his jaw tightening as the city slipped past the window in streaks of gray glass and wet asphalt. Whatever Raj wanted could wait.He locked the screen and slipped the phone back into his jacket pocket without answering.“Faster,” he said, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “I don’t have time to waste.”The driver nodded and pressed harder on the accelerator, sending the tax
Chapter 049: Three Days
Clara stared at Harvey in disbelief, her eyes widening as though he had just said something utterly incomprehensible. For the first time that morning, the calm composure she usually carried cracked. She leaned forward, planting both hands firmly on the desk. “You’ve got to be kidding me. You’ve got to be kidding me, Harvey.”Harvey pushed himself to his feet, moving slowly and carefully. A flash of pain crossed his face as he shifted weight onto his injured side, but he quickly masked it and held Clara’s gaze.“I meant what I just said,” he said, his voice low and controlled. “Henry doesn’t know I'm—""You were clear enough!" Clara suddenly cut in loudly, shutting her eyes for a moment.Then she exhaled sharply through her nose, letting out a long, irritated sigh as her shoulders sank. She shook her head once before pointing toward the thin contract still lying at the edge of her desk.“Pick up the damn document and take it to him.”Harvey opened his mouth to protest, but Clara was a

The doctor held his arm for another moment, studying the stubborn set of his jaw and the determination in his pale face. Finally, she exhaled and let him go.“At least let us get you something to wear,” she said.Harvey gave a brief nod. “Thank you.”He straightened as much as his injuries allowed and limped toward the door, using the wall for support. The doctor followed and immediately spoke into the intercom.A few minutes later, a nurse arrived with a set of plain, dark clothes—a pair of jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and a light jacket.Harvey took them with a quiet nod and disappeared into the small bathroom.When he emerged, his hair was still damp from the quick wash, and the sleeves of the shirt had been carefully rolled above the bandages on his left arm. The pain was still evident in the way he moved, but it had done little to weaken his resolve.He walked past the doctor without slowing, and she followed him into the hallway. By the time they reached the elevator, she spoke
Chapter 047: Games Without End
Jane stared at her mother, her thumb hovering over Harvey’s name on the screen.Eleanor’s voice dropped, becoming almost gentle.“I just hope you’re prepared for what comes next. Because I wouldn’t be surprised if, before this month is over, you’re back under this roof crying over another secret Harvey kept from you.”She paused, holding Jane’s gaze. “Or another problem he dragged you into.”Then she shook her head slowly as she added, “With the likes of Harvey, they'd always be something."Jane stared down at the phone in her hand, her thumb still hovering over Harvey’s name.Her lips trembled as she fought to hold herself together. Part of her wanted nothing more than to hear his voice and to know that he was safe, and to tell him how sorry she was for letting him leave. But Eleanor’s words kept echoing in her mind, filling her with doubt.The conflict inside her grew until she could no longer bear it.A broken sob escaped her throat.She lowered the phone and dropped it onto the b
