"Where's the patient's husband? Why hasn't he come yet? If he doesn't sign soon, it'll be too late,” a doctor urged."The patient's husband refuses to come. He said to let her fend for herself,” a nurse replied."Fend for herself..." When Suzy Frost, battered and barely clinging to life on the oper
The next morning, after spending yet another night at the hospital because Anne's pain had kept her from letting him leave, Dylan was finally on his way to the office. As they approached an intersection, he suddenly instructed the driver, "Take me to Bayview Heights."He had been wearing the same c
North Avenue was an hour and a half drive from South Avenue.Suzy arrived at the Goodwin family’s estate as promised in disguise. Using the pretense of treating an illness, she took the opportunity to hypnotize Martin. Unfortunately, she didn’t manage to extract any useful information.As she left,
"Two hundred million dollars?" Dylan barely hesitated. "Deal!"Three years ago, after being drugged during an ambush, a girl saved his life despite being seriously injured herself.After a night together, the girl disappeared by morning.It had been too dark that night to see her face clearly, but
Dylan’s eyes shifted back to the balcony, giving Desmond a subtle look.Desmond searched the area and reported, “Sir, there’s no one here.”“Call the doctor.” Dylan’s gaze turned cold. "And tell the hospital to lock down all exits. Not a soul steps foot inside or out without my explicit authorizatio
When Dylan spun the woman around to face him, his expression darkened instantly, like a shadow passing over his features.From behind, she had looked strikingly similar to Suzy, but her front was a different story. Her appearance was plain, a far cry from Suzy’s striking beauty.The fact that he’d e
At the hospital.The moment Dylan stepped through the door, Anne threw herself into his arms. She clung to him like a rag doll, trembling against him. "Dylan, I feel awful... I feel so terrible..."“Where does it hurt?” Dylan tried to push her away, but instead of letting go, she only clung tighter
Just as Dylan was about to pull off her mask, Suzy swiftly pulled a silver needle from her waist and stabbed it directly into his palm.“Ugh...” A sharp pain shot through Dylan’s hand, forcing him to let go. Seizing the moment, Suzy leaped off the balcony.From the eleventh floor, she landed grace
The man in black remained unfazed. "Oh, I forgot to mention, Miss Frost, I’ve been immune to poisons since childhood. Ordinary toxins have no effect on me. If you want to take me down, you’ll need something far more exotic." Suzy was speechless.It seemed Claude’s men weren’t to be underestimated.
The blade struck Dylan’s shoulder, a blow that added to his already battered and bloodied body. His arms and ankles, pierced and torn, bled profusely, and Suzy’s heart clenched at the sight. "Dylan… Are you insane?" Breaking free from the chains like that—did he have a death wish? "Suzy..." Dy
“Yes, it’s me!” Suzy said softly. “I’m sorry I came late.” Dylan was speechless.Seeing the faint redness in Suzy’s eyes, Dylan finally accepted that what he was seeing was real. This wasn’t some hallucination brought on by his longing for her. It was truly Suzy standing before him. After nearly
A group of burly men instantly surrounded Suzy, their sheer size and strength making her look like a defenseless rabbit encircled by a pack of wolves. Following the priest's orders, they launched a brutal assault, aiming to take Suzy down with no mercy. But Suzy wasn’t someone to be easily dealt
As Selena finished speaking, blood suddenly trickled from the corner of her mouth. “Damn it, she bit her tongue to kill herself!” Victor stared at Selena in disbelief. “What kind of methods did Claude use to make these people so fanatically loyal to him?” Looking at Selena's lifeless body, Suzy
Whether Selena orchestrated the deception with the fake Dylan on her own or under someone else's orders remained unclear. Either way, it was undeniable that she was deeply connected to his disappearance. Suzy had no patience left for games. Going to confront Selena again would yield the same evasi
Selena pressed her lips together before finally revealing the truth. "Someone threatened me. They said if I told anyone, they’d kill me." "Who?" Victor demanded, his tone sharp. "I don’t know who he is," Selena replied, shaking her head. "He always wore a mask. The day after I bought this man, h
When Suzy stormed back into the café, Selena’s expression faltered. "Miss Frost, why did you show up in the middle of the night? Are you here for a drink?" Slap!Suzy didn’t waste time on pleasantries, striking Selena hard across the face. "Where is he?" "You’ve already searched everywhere," Sel
Suzy felt a pang of guilt for lying to Grace, but she had no choice. If Grace ever learned the truth, it would devastate her. No matter what, the news of Dylan’s disappearance had to be kept from her. "Let that rascal talk to me," Grace said over the phone, still sounding uneasy. "I’ve been having
