Ever since, Andrew had been holding Flo's hand to invite her out. Flo's heart was beating violently and she felt her cheeks heat up at this moment. Perhaps, the man hasn't realized it yet."Andrew, can you ...."Flo's eyes were fixed on the hand that Andrew was still holding. Andrew just realized and released his grip slowly. It wasn't just Flo who was misbehaving, but he too.Andrew immediately cleared his throat softly, trying to cover up the awkwardness that suddenly enveloped them. Meanwhile, Flo quickly looked down, pretending to tidy up her skirt, even though she just wanted to avoid Andrew's gaze."Sorry, I didn't mean to," Andrew said quickly as he turned his gaze in another direction."Umm... it's okay." Flo nodded even though her face was still flushed.Flo felt nervous and fiddled with the hem of her shirt to hide the anxiety in her heart. She immediately bit her lower lip, feeling even more embarrassed. They stood next to each other in a strange silence. Occasionally, Flo

"Who are you?" asked Victoria who had just arrived and wanted to enter Johan's room.Ben looked at Victoria with sharp eyes from behind the mask. He was feeling very angry, but he hid it."Are you the doctor who treated my son?" asked Victoria."Yes, Ma'am." Ben changed his tone of voice slightly and kept it steady."How is he?" asked a worried Victoria."The wound is quite deep, but so far there are no signs of infection or serious complications. However, he is still under observation due to heavy blood loss. We will keep an eye on his progress." Ben answered so calmly that it didn't raise Victoria's suspicions."That's good then. I'm glad to hear that." Victoria gave Ben a small smile.Before Victoria suspected him, Ben excused himself and quickly left Victoria's presence. He knew that Victoria was not a stupid woman, the slightest mistake could make her suspicious. The woman walked into Johan's room without asking him any further questions.When he was far enough away from Johan's

"There were two patients with gunshot wounds admitted in the last 24 hours. One of them was on the VIP floor. His name is suspicious, with no previous record. He is guarded by two armed men."Ben and Maxime met at the apartment close to the hospital to discuss Johan. That was enough to confirm that Johan was indeed there. However, the heavy guard made things more complicated. He needed a smarter strategy."Do you have a plan to get in there?" asked Max as he sipped his orange juice."I'll disguise myself as the doctor who treated Johan. I'm sure they'll trust me and not suspect me. But I have to do it carefully. I can't just rely on luck."Ben would ask Professor Reinhardt to give him one of the doctor's ID names. Max supported him."Good idea." Max also invited Ben to do cheers.***Ben stood in the hallway of the hospital. His eyes were fixed on the door labeled VIP Ward at the end of the corridor. The information from Maxime had co

'The surgery was successful. The bullet was removed and the bleeding was stopped. However, her condition is still weak. She needs time to recover.'Ben was still reeling from the doctor's words. However, he was very grateful to God that Caroline's life could still be saved. He breathed a sigh of relief, although there was still some lingering worry. He grasped Caroline's hand carefully and put on sterile clothes. The room was quiet, with only the sound of medical equipment working to stabilize Caroline's body."I know you'll be strong, sweetheart."Ben sat beside Caroline's bed. His eyes did not leave Caroline's pale face. The oxygen tube was still in place and the bedside machine continued to monitor her vital signs. However, what relieved Ben the most was the soft sound of the heart rate monitor still beeping regularly. "You've been through worse than this," Ben whispered as he gripped Caroline's hand tighter. "So I'm sure you can get through this too." The ICU door opened sligh

Victoria's hand shook violently. The gun had fallen to the floor. In that gaze was the regret, anger and despair of a mother who had lost control. Johan had been shot by his mother."Ben, take Caroline away from this place." Johan's voice was low and disjointed, but Ben could still hear it.Then, Ben and Andrew immediately saved Caroline. Ben lifted Caroline's body and immediately carried her outside. The car was ready to go to the hospital. Andrew would drive the car, while Ben was in the back seat along with Caroline. "Andrew, hurry up." Ben panicked as he touched Caroline's cold body.He didn't want Caroline to die this quickly. Moreover, he still can't give the best for the person he loves. Andrew quickly drove the car but was alert and focused."Caroline, don't leave me." Ben checked Caroline's pulse which was getting weaker.***Upon arrival at the hospital, Caroline was immediately rushed to the Emergency room for immediate treatment. Doctors and nurses quickly checked her con

Victoria told the two men to look outside immediately. She was still watching Johan and Caroline. Even with her son, she could be reckless.'Is Ben here and ready to take Caroline home?'Johan muttered to himself. Maybe it was true that Ben had come. His plan from the beginning was to take Ben's life, but now he wanted Ben to take Caroline away safely. Meanwhile, Victoria looked so anxious."Why do you look so panicked, Mom? What are you afraid of?" asked Johan.Victoria didn't want to answer Johan's question. Outside the situation was more tense. Then, Johan tried to stand up and approach his mother. Even though his shoulder was shot, Johan wanted to try to see the situation outside."Johan, stay here, don't go outside. It's dangerous outside," Victoria said."I want to go outside for a while, Mom. You stay here with Caroline.""No! If I say no, you don't go out there!" Victoria held Johan's hand tightly, but Johan left his mother.It was getting noisy outside and a fight was breakin
