Chapter 179
Logan hesitated at the door of the dimly lit room, his instincts screaming that something was off.The corridor was silent, save for the faint hum of the air conditioning. As he approached the door, he felt a knot of unease tightening in his chest. He had no way of knowing who he would meet or what she had planned. Reluctantly, he pushed the door open.Inside, the room was spacious but sparsely furnished—a large desk in one corner, a few chairs scattered near the walls, and a single chandelier casting dim light. Logan’s eyes immediately fell on the figure sitting at the center of the room, and his stomach dropped. It was Melissa.His old classmate.The same woman he had met at the hospital some days ago; the one who had once been ambitious, cunning, and competitive in school.She was now standing before him in a way that made his blood boil.“Melissa,” he said cautiously, his voice low but tense. “What’s going on here? Why did you ask me to come?”Melissa looked up from where sh

Logan sat in his car, gripping the steering wheel tightly. The mysterious call from the previous evening kept replaying in his mind. The woman’s voice had been calm yet urgent, almost knowing—like she carried information that could alter everything.He didn’t know who she was, what she wanted, or whether she could be trusted, but the tone of her voice suggested the gravity of her message.Logan’s mind ran through every possibility. Who was this woman? He wondered.However, one thing was certain: the information she had could be crucial. And if he hesitated, he could miss the opportunity to gain a strategic advantage.After weighing the risks, Logan made a decision. He would go. Whatever this was, it was a chance he couldn’t ignore.The following morning, he arrived at the location the woman had specified in a text message—a sleek, modern lounge in a quieter district of the city. From the outside, it looked ordinary and almost unremarkable. But Logan knew better. He parked at a

After a while, the police arrived.The hospital corridors were tense with urgency as Logan watched the replayed footage on the monitor. His hands clenched into fists. Every detail was scrutinized, frame by frame. Finally, the evidence was undeniable: the person who had tampered with Charlotte’s food was the very nurse who had been attending to her that night. The one Melissa had assigned to get rid of Charlotte.The footage showed her entering the ward while Logan had been away, opening the cooler he had brought, and carefully adding the toxic substance into the food. Her movements were deliberate, cold, and practiced, showing that she knew exactly what she was doing.Logan’s eyes burned with anger and disbelief. “So it was her,” he muttered under his breath. “She’s the one behind all of this. The one who tried to kill Charlotte.”The senior doctor turned from the monitor, his face pale. “We have to find her immediately,” he said gravely. “She’s a threat not only to Charlotte
Chapter 176
Logan's voice cut through the tense and sharp air. “Listen to me! If any of you actually care about the truth, you’ll check every camera in this hospital. Every single one—especially in Charlotte's ward. I prepared that food myself, and I did not poison her. I suspect that someone else in this hospital must have done it, yet you're trying to frame me!”The room fell into uneasy silence for a moment.What would anyone want to gain in poisoning Charlotte?One of the senior doctors scoffed. “Mr. Brooks, we’ve already seen the evidence. The lab tests clearly indicate the poison was in the food you brought. There’s no reason to even doubt it. Stop wasting everyone’s time and come with us for questioning before the officers arrive.”Logan clenched his fists, his knuckles whitening. “No! I will not leave until you get to the bottom of this. You think just because the food was brought by me, I automatically poisoned her? I’ve been feeding my wife carefully since she’s been admitted. I

Logan strode forward to Charlotte’s bedside, his gaze fixed on her pale, fragile form. Her chest rose and fell weakly, each breath shallow and measured. “Hold on, Charlotte,” he whispered, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. “I’m right here. You’re going to make it through this, I promise. I’ll be with you every step of the way.”The medical team sprang into action. They checked her vitals, administered IV fluids, and began monitoring her system for the toxic substances that had already begun to take a toll. Logan watched every movement, noting every adjustment, every flick of the wrist, every bead of sweat on their foreheads. He refused to let anyone treat Charlotte with anything less than absolute precision.After ensuring she was being attended to, Logan was quietly escorted by the security personnel to the investigation room. Even then, he never took his eyes off Charlotte; he could only hope the doctors’ interventions would stabilize her enough for her to survive

The doctor on duty turned sharply toward Logan, his expression a mixture of disbelief and suspicion. Pointing an accusing finger, he said, “You, Mr. Brooks, need to be investigated immediately! We must take you to a secure room to determine the truth of this matter. There is evidence suggesting you poisoned your wife, and now you are denying it!”Logan froze, his palms slick with sweat. “What are you talking about?” he shouted, his voice echoing against the sterile walls. “I didn’t poison Charlotte! I prepared her food myself! She’s lying there, fighting for her life because someone else did this!”Before the argument could escalate further, two other doctors hurried into the room. Their faces were etched with concern, but there was also a sharp edge of anger. “What is going on here?” one of them demanded. “We heard the rumors! Explain immediately!”The doctor on duty quickly briefed them, explaining the sequence of events: how Charlotte had collapsed suddenly, the results of
