It was already 11 p.m. when Wesley began to grow uneasy. The men he had sent out still hadn’t returned. His jaw tightened as he paced back and forth, glancing at his wristwatch.

He had been standing there far too long and was growing restless. He hadn’t gone back to sit with Abril and Dorian because he hadn’t yet completed what he needed to do, and now, he had no idea where his men might be.

“Tch. What’s taking them so long?” he muttered, irritation laced with a flicker of doubt. After a moment, he sighed and made up his mind. “I’ll go to Dorian. He’ll have their contact information since I don’t have my phone with me.”

Turning around, he pushed the door open. His gaze immediately locked on Dorian, who raised his head at the sound.

He and Abril were still talking—well, Dorian was. She had done little more than nod her head here and there, offering quiet acknowledgments to his words.

The intensity in Wesley’s eyes made it clear that something was wrong.

    Sitting on the hospital bed, legs dangling over the side, a frown crossed Nate’s face as he stared at the plate of food before him. He hadn’t touched it in the past hour, lacking any appetite.The food was getting cold, steam fading into the air, but he couldn’t bring himself to eat. His mind kept returning to the thought that he might have died back there—that everything could have ended in an instant.The hospital door swung open, and Nate’s head lifted instinctively. A man entered, carrying another tray of food. His gaze immediately fell on Nate, sharp and assessing.“Why aren’t you eating?” the man asked, his tone hard, almost accusatory.It was Felix—Nate’s elder brother—called in after the doctor contacted him. Since arriving, Felix had noticed that Nate hadn’t said a word about what happened. The doctor had claimed it was an accident, and Nate had refused to elaborate. Now, Felix was certain it wasn’t just an accident; something had happened before it.Nate looked down, finger

    "The injuries don't hurt?" Sean peered at her. He had heard her mention that he had to learn to take care of his injuries even if they didn’t hurt. But it wasn’t that they didn’t hurt; he didn’t feel them anymore.And that wasn’t why he hadn’t treated them yet. He just wasn’t home yet and needed to wait for her to finish.“Did you hear me?” she asked.Bewildered, he nodded, shoulders lifting as if he couldn’t see the point in arguing. He let her do what she was doing. By the time she finished, she had returned all the items she had used and placed them neatly to the side. She picked up the box of sandwiches and handed it back to Sean.He took the box and continued eating.Leaning back against the seat, Abrill pressed her lips into a thin line. After a moment of silence, her voice lowered.“What… what did you do to the men Dorian sent to beat you up?”Her eyes searched his, wary of the answer. She wasn’t sure if he had dealt with Vincent, but she had a feeling he might have done the sa

    Sean sat on a wooden bench in the quiet garden, a half-eaten sandwich in his hand and two more resting neatly inside the lunchbox on his lap. He chewed slowly, calm and unhurried, savoring each bite as though the chaos of the world had nothing to do with him.The crunch of footsteps broke the stillness. His gaze shifted from the sandwich to the direction the sound came from. He couldn’t see anyone yet, but the hurried rhythm told him they would appear soon. He wondered vaguely what they were searching for that required so many people.Several voices followed, sharp with urgency.“Have you found Sean yet?” Abril’s voice rang out.Sean’s brow lifted slightly. ‘They’re looking for me?&rsquo

    Slowly, his eyes fluttered open. The sharp sting of white light blinded him for a moment, and he blinked until his vision cleared. Above him was a stark white ceiling, fluorescent lamps burning with sterile brightness. The faint, unmistakable scent of disinfectant filled his nose.The hospital.He was in the hospital.Confusion clouded his mind—until a rush of memory slammed into him. The car. The screech of tires. The blinding headlights. The deafening crash as the truck smashed into them. His heart thudded in his chest, horror widening his eyes.“No…” He gasped, trying to sit up, but his body betrayed him. His arms felt like lead, his legs heavier still. Panic surged as he struggled against the invisible chains of pain and weakness, but nothing

    The car stopped at the hospital, and Dorian and Wesley stepped out. The guard led them inside, their footsteps echoing through the quiet halls.The hospital was strangely still. The corridors weren’t crowded, and no voices echoed through them. No nurses patrolled the area, giving the place an eerie, hollow silence.At the reception near the emergency ward, however, nurses rushed back and forth, their faces drawn with worry. One clutched the phone to her ear, speaking quickly.“We still can’t reach their families… We need permission for the surgery. Without it, we can’t proceed. And the surgery itself is risky—if we delay any longer, they might not survive.”Dorian and Welsey pushed forward, but a nurse quickly stepped in front o

  • CHAPTER 161

    When Dorian had first heard that Kade had been found outside, unable to breathe, he hadn’t believed it. Neither had Welsey. But seeing it with their own eyes left no room for doubt.Kade was really dead.And not only was he dead, but his condition made it worse. At first glance, it might have looked like he had stumbled, tripped, and struck his head while running. But the truth was written across his body. His clothes were soaked in blood.The injuries and bruises weren’t from a fall. He hadn’t simply collapsed. He had been beaten mercilessly. So badly that he had bled to death.Dorian’s jaw tightened as he tore his gaze from the body and turned sharply to the guard who had found him.“Did he say anything before he died?” Dorian asked coldly.The guard swallowed hard and shook his head. “No, sir. By the time I found him, he was already in this state. He didn’t say a word… he was gone.”Silence stretched. Welsey’s hands clenched into fists at his sides, his face twisted in disbelief.“
