Chapter 169
The following day was the day Charlotte was to finally leave the hospital. After what had felt like an eternity within its white-walled confines, she would be discharged by evening. The thought alone filled her with hope. She missed the comfort of her own space, her family, Elysian Bloom, the freedom to move about without constant monitoring, and the possibility of beginning life again without the smell of antiseptics trailing her every breath.The morning sunlight poured softly through the window, painting golden streaks across her bed.Charlotte had just finished having her bath when the door creaked open and Logan stepped in. His presence immediately lifted her spirits. He looked sharp as always and his confident stride filled the room with quiet authority. His face softened the moment his eyes met hers.“Good morning, Charlotte,” Logan said warmly, setting down a small bag he carried. “I heard today’s the big day. Finally, you’ll be well enough to leave here.”Charlotte smi

Charlotte sat up straighter, insistent, and clutching the blanket around her. “No. I don’t want that. Not unless another medical professional—either a doctor or another nurse—tells me that it’s absolutely necessary. I won’t allow you to inject me otherwise.”The nurse frowned, her expression tightening. “Miss Sullivan, this is routine. You don’t need to overthink it.”Charlotte’s voice grew firmer. “I said no! If there’s no other option, I’ll agree. But until another medical personnel confirms it, you’re not touching me with that injection.”The nurse’s patience snapped. “You’re being difficult! I’m trying to help you heal, and you’re wasting time.”Charlotte’s suspicion flared into certainty. She shifted back on the bed, holding out her arm defensively. “If you think I’ll let you push that needle into me without explanation, you’re mistaken.”Their voices rose with an argument echoing across the small ward. The nurse leaned in, trying to restrain Charlotte’s arm, but Charlotte f

The room was quiet, save for the faint ticking of the wall clock and the rhythmic drip of the IV line beside Charlotte’s bed. Her breathing was soft, almost peaceful, as though she had finally found some escape in sleep after days of turmoil. But the tranquility was broken by the faint creak of the door being pushed open.The sound stirred her. Her eyelids fluttered, and she shifted slightly. Then came a dry cough—rough, persistent—forcing her to sit upright. She coughed into her palm, breath ragged, until the fit subsided. When she looked up, the nurse was already by her bedside, clad in her crisp uniform, her face calm but her eyes carrying a sharpness that Charlotte didn’t quite understand.“Miss,” the nurse said softly, almost soothingly. “You need to turn on your side. I have to give you an injection.”Charlotte froze, blinking in confusion. “Injection?” Her voice was hoarse from the coughing. “But… since I’ve been admitted, no one’s given me injections. Just drips, ban

The man’s eyes burned with desperation as he lunged at Logan with his muscles straining and his body twisting into a practiced stance. It was clear this was no ordinary attack. He switched through different combat techniques fluidly. Each move spoke of training, experience, and ruthless intent.But Logan was sharper, smarter, and far more calculating than his opponent had anticipated.He wasn’t merely reacting—he was reading the man’s body language before the attacks landed, predicting the angle of every blow, and adjusting his position in split seconds. The elbow strike sliced through empty air as Logan shifted his weight. The knee thrust met nothing but Logan’s forearm, redirected with a twist that sent pain shooting up the attacker’s leg. The grappling hold failed before it even locked in, with Logan ducking under the man’s arm and slamming a brutal counterpunch into his ribs.The sound of impact echoed like a crack of thunder in the suffocating silence of the room.The man g

Logan lay sprawled across the floor, his chest rising and falling unevenly. Dust swirled around his body from the impact of his fall, his breath ragged, and his body ached.The men who surrounded him curled their lips into sneers as though savoring his weakness. Their laughter was not just cruel—it was triumphant.The leader of the group, a tall man with eyes that gleamed like sharpened steel, stepped forward.His boots echoed against the wooden floor as he pushed past the others and leaned closer to study the fallen figure. At first glance, the body seemed lifeless, but then he noticed the faint rise of Logan’s chest. His sharp gaze narrowed in irritation.“Idiots!” he barked.His two men stiffened under the weight of his fury. “You stand there, watching him breathe, and yet you do nothing? Do you want him to rise again and tear you apart?”The men exchanged uneasy glances. Neither dared to argue. They had thought Logan finished, a broken body unworthy of further worry. But t

“You’re a fool!” one of the men sneered, stepping forward with a twisted grin. His voice carried mockery and venom. “To have the guts to walk into our den and demand for our prey? You must be completely out of your mind!”A ripple of laughter followed from the rest of the gang, their coarse voices echoing in the confined space. They looked at Logan as though he were nothing more than an amusement, a man destined to be torn apart by their sheer numbers. But Logan’s gaze did not waver. If anything, his silence only made them angrier.The leader of the group, a broad-shouldered man with scars cutting across his face, finally rose from his seat at the far end of the room. His eyes glowed with dark fury as he studied Logan, sizing him up as though the confrontation were inevitable.“Teach him a lesson,” the leader barked, pointing at Logan with a cold, commanding finger.One of the men closest to Logan smirked, cracking his knuckles as he moved in with confidence. He lunged forward,
