A rare sight
Fae gently patted his shoulder. “Calm down.” She got up to set down the plate of fruit she had given Derek earlier, then headed toward the light switch and turned it off so it wouldn't be too blinding to the eyes.The night quietness in that room felt returned after the departure of Victor and Joe. The room's lights were intentionally dimmed, leaving only the faint glow of medical instruments still attached to Derek's body.Fae sat back down in the chair beside the bed, her gaze never leaving the figure of the young man in front of her.“You have to eat this fruit, Derek. Your body needs nutrients for recovery,” Fae whispered softly as she held out a fork with a piece of apple.Derek let out a short breath, then accepted the bite with slow movements. “Thank you, Fae. I'm sorry for making you keep taking care of me like this.” He looked at the woman again. “Even though you are injured too.”Fae shook her head. “I'm fine, not as bad as you.”Derek looked at her with a guilty gaze. “I mu
The Preventation
“Isn't this a bit too much?” asked Joe, who had just stepped out of the elevator along with Victor.Victor, who glanced toward the door, saw two sturdy men standing in front of the door, then looked back straight ahead indifferently. “Nothing is too much, if the one inside is an heir of the West family.”Joe nodded his head again, still keeping his gaze fixed in the direction of the two burly men. “That's true.” He felt it was a bit too much, too tense, but yeah. It was also a form of prevention.He stared while shaking his head at the silence enveloping the VVIP room where Derek was being treated. Although his condition was beginning to improve, the presence of two armed bodyguards now standing on alert outside the bedroom door reinforced that the danger had not fully passed.Fae sat in a chair beside the bed while cutting up some fruit for Derek. The sound of the knife scraping against an apple was the only noise breaking the quiet before Derek broke the silence.“You don't need to
The Mysterius man
The atmosphere inside the luxurious, dimly lit room felt cold and suffocating. A man dressed in a neat suit sat with his back facing the entrance, leaving only the sight of his sturdy back, which exuded an air of absolute dominance behind a large swivel chair.Not long after, the door to the room was tapped lightly before a man acting as his loyal aide stepped inside with extreme caution. The man stood straight in a respectful posture, lowering his head slightly to maintain etiquette before the big boss sitting with his back to him.“Sir, there is an important report I must convey regarding the target at the hospital,” the aide reported in a slightly suppressed tone.“Speak,” the mysterious man said briefly in a cold, heavy voice without turning his chair around even a little.“Derek West has regained consciousness from his critical state today,” the aide continued, reporting the shocking fact.The man dressed entirely in black stood anxiously in his spot; reporting this made him quit
The Voice Tapping
“Ah, my back hurts so much,” Joe complained as he adjusted his sitting position.The atmosphere inside Joe's service car felt so quiet, accompanied only by the soft static hissing sound streaming directly from the high-tech voice-tapping device he had secretly installed beneath the driver's seat of Jordan's vehicle a few days ago.Joe, who was initially sitting casually while enjoying a pack of fast food inside his car, instantly stopped chewing. The sound of discordant laughter heard loudly from the speaker in his ear immediately drew all his attention and focus in an instant.Inside the live broadcast recording, Jordan's voice was clearly heard talking to someone through a cellular phone connection linked to the car's speakerphone.“Ha-ha-ha! You heard the news today yourself, right? That bastard finally really got what was coming to him!” Jordan's laughter sounded so free, mocking, and filled with overflowing satisfaction.The person on the other end of the line sounded hesitant be
Intensive recovery
“Go get some rest, Father, I will watch over him here,” Fae gently stroked the hand of Jacob, who was sitting tiredly beside her.The tense atmosphere that had gripped the emergency operating room and the hospital corridor slowly began to thaw as the exhausting critical hours passed.The follow-up neurosurgery and thoracic surgery led directly by Professor Edward finally bore fruit; he successfully stopped the secondary internal bleeding and relieved the intracranial pressure that had previously threatened Derek West's life, with the surgery itself taking hours.Jacob turned toward her without saying a word, yet his gaze sufficiently responded that he was reluctant to leave that place despite being so tired.“Father, I beg you,” she persuaded, anxious about Jacob's condition, which might also drop due to overwhelming worry.After seeing Fae's desperate and anxious gaze, he finally nodded. “Let me know if there are any developments.” He gently patted Fae's shoulder while standing up an
Critical condition
The atmosphere in front of the intensive care unit suddenly turned tense as doctors and nurses rushed in and out with ragged breaths. The vital sign monitor inside the room beeped loudly, signaling a drastic drop in Derek’s bodily condition.“What is actually happening to his condition? Why does that monitor keep beeping?” Fae worriedly half-shrieked, her tears nearly spilling over her eyelids.“His blood pressure has dropped drastically. There is secondary internal bleeding near the previous post-operative area pressing on his vital organs,” one of the emergency doctors answered in panic. “We must immediately perform a follow-up surgery right now, or we will lose him!”Panic immediately struck the entire hospital corridor. Fae looked extremely worried and badly shaken, but Jacob who had just arrived at the hospital after receiving the emergency news displayed a far deeper level of worry, his white-as-chalk face watching his younger brother's condition through the partition glass.Hea
