Just as Dylan reached the door, he saw Diana being wheeled out of surgery. Before he could ask, the doctor informed him, “The operation went well, Mr. Wright, but she’s not entirely out of danger yet. She’ll need to be monitored in the ICU for the next couple of days.”Once Diana was settled in the
Thinking it was a staff member, Suzy quickly shut her laptop and slipped behind the door just before they entered. She wasn’t afraid of being caught, but it didn’t hurt to show a little respect for the official personnel.But as the door opened, she realized…the visitor seemed even sneakier than she
And she was impressive.He and Dylan had been trained rigorously since childhood, and few people could match their skills. Yet he had exchanged dozens of blows with Suzy and hadn’t gained the upper hand. Her skills were clearly on a level above his.With a newfound respect, Victor looked at her diff
“The number you’re trying to reach is currently on another call. Please try again later…”Victor tried twice, only to hear the same automated message.“Who could he be on the phone with for this long?”Dylan never spent more than a minute on any call, no matter who it was. If he was on this one for
The entire organization had only one person who had ever seen Hawk—their mentor, who passed away five years ago. Now, no one in the world knew what Hawk looked like.But why would he, with no grudge against the Wright family, go after Diana? Suzy shook her head, thinking she was likely overthinkin
As Suzy’s countdown ended, the men’s faces grew even paler, fear intensifying in their eyes. Yet none of them were willing to speak the truth.“So, that’s your choice,” she said, her voice as cold as a messenger from the underworld. “Take them out and give back double what they did to Diana.”“Under
The fact that, in that critical moment, Diana had called her first instead of Dylan spoke volumes about Suzy’s importance to her. But if she had answered that call, would Diana have avoided the crash?…Suzy was convinced that Diana's missing phone was still in the car. Since the dashcam footage onl
Standing in the doorway was none other than Dylan, who had returned unexpectedly.After Victor’s call, Dylan had indeed planned to leave. But as the elevator doors were closing, he thought he’d caught a glimpse of Suzy’s figure—just like that brief moment outside the ICU earlier.Curious and unsettl
"Jump, and I’ll let her go…" That sentence echoed in Suzy’s mind over and over. The man sneered when Suzy remained frozen. "What’s the matter? Didn’t you say Diana is like a sister to you? Turns out it’s all talk. When it comes down to it, you’re not willing to sacrifice your life for hers. "
The man’s gaze, eerily similar to Claude’s, was enough to make anyone second-guess. But to Suzy, the situation felt too suspicious.If this man was truly Claude, why go to such lengths to steal the ashes? Everything he had done seemed deliberately designed to make her believe it was Claude. If
Even though she saw him with her own eyes, Suzy still didn’t believe it. "I have to admit, your disguise skills are impressive…" Before she could finish, the man interrupted her with a soft laugh. "Suzy, even after seeing me with your own eyes, you still don’t believe I’m alive? Fine, come closer
The drive took about an hour and a half. When Suzy reached her destination, she got out of the car without hesitation.It was a mountaintop.The biting winter cold was relentless, with the wind howling and scattering Suzy’s hair. This mountain was a place she often came to when her mind was restl
The message from the caller couldn’t have been clearer: if Suzy wanted Diana to live, she would have to trade her own life.The phone wasn’t on speaker, so Dylan couldn’t hear the conversation. Suzy had no intention of telling him what was said, even as he pressed her for answers. "What did they sa
When Suzy received the photo sent by the enemy, a wave of rage surged through her entire body. The image showed Diana tightly bound, surrounded by a group of men with menacing expressions. The sender hadn’t said anything, but their intent was clear. Suzy instantly understood the threat. The th
Dylan's heartfelt confession stirred something in Suzy, but she quickly suppressed it."Now’s not the time for romance!" Suzy pulled her hand out of Dylan's grasp again. "There are so many people counting on us to save their livelihoods. Focus, and stop with the useless chatter!"Dylan nodded. "Got
"Dylan..." Suzy shivered, her skin crawling. "At your age, don’t you think this is terrifying? And where did you even learn this from? "Acting cute works for some people, but not for everyone! When others do it, it’s charming, but when you do it, it’s like... like an old bull stumbling into a cos
As Suzy guessed, the person had indeed turned their attention to Dylan.What she feared the most had finally happened. Now that things had started, there was no point in saying anything more. Even if she tried to distance herself from Dylan at this stage, it likely wouldn’t stop the other party.No
