Chapter 122
The bright fluorescent lights of the emergency room hummed softly above the crowded hallway.Ethan strode past the silent nurses and doctors, his eyes locked onto the small woman sitting on the hospital cot.In two long strides, he reached the bedside, dropping down onto both knees before her."Mother," Ethan whispered, his deep voice cracking with raw, trembling emotion.Martha looked down at him, her tired eyes softening as she reached out with both hands.Her warm, wrinkled palms gently cupped his handsome face, her thumbs wiping away the cold rain misting on his skin."Ethan, my boy," Martha whispered softly, fresh tears rolling down her gentle cheeks.She rested her forehead against his hair, letting out a long, shuddering breath of pure relief."I am right here, Mother," Ethan said, his hands holding her wrists gently. "Nobody will ever touch you again."Martha shook her head slowly, turning her tearful gaze down toward the floor beside the bed."Ethan... if not for your sisters
Chapter 121
Victoria’s frantic screams echoed through the small phone speaker, loud and terrifying in the quiet study.Ethan lowered his hand, letting the smartphone drop onto the dark wood of his desk with a heavy clatter.The line clicked dead, leaving only the sound of rain tapping against the window and his own rapid heartbeat.The study door flew open wide, and hurried footsteps rushed down the hallway.Grandfather Joseph hurried into the room with his spectacles crooked on his nose, holding little Harper by the hand.Chloe stood right beside Ethan, her face pale as snow as she looked down at the dark phone screen."Ethan, who was screaming like that?!" Chloe asked, her voice trembling with rising panic. "Was that Victoria?!""Is Mother Martha okay?" Grandfather Joseph asked, his wrinkled hands shaking as he held Harper close. "Please tell me she is safe!"Harper looked up at Ethan with wide, frightened eyes, clutching her grandfather’s coat with tiny fingers.Ethan looked at his family, tak
Chapter 120
Deep inside the dark northern outskirts of the city, an abandoned medical clinic stood alone in the cold night.Yellow weeds pushed through the cracked asphalt of the parking lot, and broken window frames rattled in the wind.Inside the dusty front hallway, Kaelen Thorne stood under a flickering emergency bulb, checking the stopwatch in his hand.Six syndicate mercenaries in black tactical gear stood quietly around him, holding suppressed carbines."Listen to me carefully," Thorne whispered, his rough voice cutting through the damp chill. "The boss wrote this script himself.""When those four women come through that door, you do not shoot them," Thorne commanded coldly, tapping his gun barrel against his vest."Make it look like a real fight," Thorne ordered. "Let them hit your vests, stumble backward, and act like clumsy fools.""If any of you idiots accidentally breaks one of their bones," Thorne warned with a vicious sneer, "I will put a bullet in your head myself.""Understood, Co
Chapter 119
The thick crimson blood dripped slowly between Ethan’s trembling fingers, splashing onto the dark blotter paper on his desk.His chest burned like an open furnace, every shallow breath feeling like broken glass scraping inside his throat.Standing alone in the dim study, Ethan looked down at his bloodstained palm with a tired, sorrowful gaze.To the outside world, he was the revered Divine Healer, a legend whose hands had pulled dying kings and hopeless strangers back from the grave.Yet, behind all the glory and untouchable authority, his own body carried an unhealable, fatal curse.Years of military combat in toxic battlegrounds had filled his lungs with corrosive poison, triggering an incurable cellular decay that slowly ate his organs from within.He reached into his breast pocket with his clean hand, pulling out a soft white silk handkerchief.Ethan carefully wiped the sticky red blood from his skin and cleaned the dark drops from the polished wood of his desk.He walked over to
Chapter 118
The heavy limousine door clicked shut, sealing out the howling wind and the freezing rain.Inside the long luxury vehicle, warm golden light washed over the deep leather seats, smelling of rich cedarwood and expensive perfume.The Doppelganger sat back against the velvet cushions, casually placing the silver case directly into Victoria’s shaking hands."Five vials," the Doppelganger whispered, his deep voice smooth and deadly. "Five simple steps to take back your golden life."Victoria looked down at the tiny glass bottles, her breath trembling in her throat as the grey powder caught the light."What is this?" Victoria asked, her raw, bleeding fingers clutching the velvet edges of the box."It is a tasteless, odorless powder," the man answered, a cruel smile playing on his lips. "It dissolves in water, tea, or warm broth in less than three seconds.""What does it do to him?" Beatrice asked from the seat beside her, holding Charlotte’s limp hand tightly against her chest."It will make

The wet newspaper clung to the toe of Victoria’s boot, the black ink of Harrison Thorfield's arrest blurring in the freezing slush.Victoria kicked the soggy paper away with a trembling foot, her teeth rattling inside her mouth."Harrison is in jail," Victoria whispered, her voice cracking as the last shred of their false hope died in the mud."You brought us here, Victoria!" Cynthia screamed, lunging forward with her hands clawing the cold air.Her face was smeared with dirt and frozen tears, her eyes burning with pure, hysterical hatred."You told us Harrison had billions!" Cynthia shrieked. "You told us we were going to buy a new mansion!""I did not know!" Victoria wept, throwing her arms up to shield her face. "He swore he had secret bank accounts!""You are an idiot!" Cynthia yelled, kicking a puddle of brown water straight at Victoria’s knees. "You ruined this family!""Stop screaming!" Beatrice cried out, wrapping her body tightly around Charlotte's shivering wheelchair."Look
