Chapter 1728

Author: Faith Shaw
Karina’s heart raced, and she quickly blurted, “Dr. Wilfred, you don’t need to trouble yourself. I can handle the room situation.”

Wilfred waved her off with a casual motion. “You’ve had a long day. Get some rest. I’ll take care of it.”

Stepping into the room, Karina’s gaze fell on the two twin beds. Her emotions swirled in a complicated mix—gratitude for Wilfred’s kindness and crushing guilt over what she was about to do.

She sat down at the edge of one bed, hands twisting nervously in her lap, her thoughts spiraling into a tangled mess.

Not long after, Wilfred returned, a hint of exasperation on his otherwise calm face. “No luck. Every nearby hotel is fully booked. We’ll have to make do for tonight. Don’t overthink it. It’s just a special situation.”

Karina nodded weakly, her voice barely audible. “Alright, Dr. Wilfred.”

While Wilfred disappeared into the bathroom to shower, Karina’s gaze drifted toward the water kettle on the table. Instinctively, her hand slipped into her

    Wilfred raised his hand, gently brushing aside a strand of hair from Karina's forehead. His fingertips grazed her cheek, the touch lingering with a subtle trace of something ambiguous. Karina's face flushed instantly, heat spreading across her skin. Her wide eyes reflected a mix of shock and embarrassment. “Dr. Norman, you’re acting very strangely today,” Wilfred said softly, his deep voice tinged with an almost hypnotic calm, sending shivers down her spine. Karina’s lips trembled, and she stammered, trying to explain but failing miserably. “I—I… Dr. Wilfred, I… ” Wilfred's gaze sharpened, his eyes turning cold as he suddenly grabbed her wrist. The strength of his grip made Karina gasp in pain. "So this is your plan? I finally see it now," he said, his voice laced with anger and disappointment. "You spiked my water, thinking I wouldn’t notice? Did you really think I wouldn’t taste it?" Karina froze, terror flashing across her face. She hadn’t expected him to notice.

    Without hesitation, Wilfred scooped Karina up and carried her back into the room, gently placing her on the bed. He quickly grabbed a towel, soaked it in cold water, and carefully laid it across her burning forehead, trying to bring her fever down. As he looked at her pale and vulnerable face, his emotions swirled into a complicated mess. Sitting at her bedside, Wilfred silently watched over her, his thoughts wandering. He recalled Karina’s usual demeanor at the hospital—her diligent work ethic, the unwavering focus she showed while treating patients. Although she sometimes seemed shrouded in mystery, her commitment to her job was unmistakably genuine. He also thought of the times they had worked side by side in the operating room, where her calm and professional composure made her an exceptional partner. That confident woman seemed worlds apart from the fragile figure lying before him now. “Is she really as calculated as she seems?” he wondered. “Or is there somethin

    The patient’s family rushed forward, shoving Karina hard. She fell to the floor, her forehead striking the edge of a corridor chair. A sharp pain shot through her, leaving her dizzy and disoriented. Wilfred immediately crouched down to help her up. Seeing the blood trickling from her forehead, he shot a furious glare at the aggressors. “What do you think you’re doing?” One of the family members sneered. “What are we doing? You dare to ask? You’re a worthless doctor! If it weren’t for you, my daughter could’ve had a few more years to live. Now she’s gone—all because of you!” Wilfred was stunned, but Karina’s soft whimper of pain in his arms drew his attention back to her. Suppressing his anger, he glanced at the group advancing toward them. Before they could close in, he swiftly lifted Karina into his arms, causing several nurses nearby to gasp in surprise. His icy glare swept over the furious family members. “There’s a limit to how far you can go. If you don’t want this

    At that moment, Karina shouted, her voice trembling, “I’ll tell you everything!” Her hands twisted together anxiously, her fingers fidgeting, and her rapid blinking betrayed her extreme hesitation and nerves. Wilfred didn’t rush her, standing silently as he waited for her to continue. Karina took a deep breath, her words spilling out as she recounted everything that had happened over the past few days. She left nothing out, from the stolen photos to the motivations behind her actions. When she finished, it felt as though a massive weight had been lifted from her shoulders. But Wilfred’s brows remained furrowed the entire time. Noticing his reaction, Karina’s initial relief was quickly replaced by regret. She had relaxed too soon. “I’m sorry. If you want to press charges, I’ll accept whatever consequences come my way.” Her confession was partly motivated by her desire to salvage her career, but even more so, she couldn’t bear to keep Wilfred in the dark any longer. She

    Karina might appear frail, with slim arms and legs that seemed as if a single push could knock her over, but Wilfred knew better. He understood just how resilient she truly was.Others might work hard, but Karina always pushed herself several times beyond that. He often worked late into the night, performing back-to-back surgeries, and every time he left his office, she would still be there, pouring over medical journals long after everyone else had gone home. It was that dedication that had sparked Wilfred’s decision to give her a chance. Thinking back, he realized he had never seen Karina cry before. Not when the Stone family kept demanding money, not even when Kieran threatened her. Yet here she was, her eyes rimmed with red, struggling to hold back tears in front of him—a man who had once gone out of his way to help her. “I know I’ve disappointed you, Dr. Wilfred,” Karina said, her voice trembling. “Don’t worry, I’ll resign tomorrow. I’ll come up with an excuse, and if

    “I don’t know,” the nurse replied. “She said there was an emergency at home and she had to leave immediately.” Karina’s chest tightened, and her fingers curled into fists. The more she thought about it, the more something felt off. Could it really just be a coincidence? It seemed far more likely that the intern knew she was about to be exposed and decided to disappear before they could question her—cutting off all leads and leaving them with nowhere to turn. While Karina felt heavy with unease, Wilfred seemed much calmer. It was as if he had anticipated this outcome all along. “Thank you for your efforts,” he said to the nurse, his tone steady and composed. He then turned his attention to Karina, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before turning away and walking off. Karina quickly followed him out of the room. The nurse couldn’t hold back any longer and called after her, “Dr. Norman, when did you get so close to Dr. Wilfred? Everyone’s saying he’s grooming you

    The man who charged forward with the attack was the younger one. Wilfred had momentarily let his guard down, not expecting such a sudden outburst. The wooden stick struck him squarely on the back with a dull thud, causing him to grunt in pain. Karina froze, her mind going blank in shock. She rushed to Wilfred’s side, supporting him as best she could. “Dr. Wilfred, are you okay? Why would you take the hit for me?” Wilfred straightened up, his expression calm despite the obvious pain. Even now, he had the composure to explain. “It wasn’t for you. The attack was meant for me from the start.” He glanced briefly at his back, his gaze darkening. It hurt a lot but he wasn’t an ordinary person. As someone who had endured far worse as Pharaoh’s former test subject, he was accustomed to such pain. That didn’t mean he wasn’t angry. Wilfred turned his icy gaze to the young man who had attacked him, his penetrating eyes enough to make the assailant hesitate for a brief moment.

    Seeing the two men gearing up to strike again, Karina instinctively reached for Wilfred, ready to pull him away. A little humiliation was better than getting hurt, she thought.The blow Wilfred had taken earlier still made her heart pound with fear just thinking about it. She couldn’t imagine the state of his back now. It was likely bruised and swollen but there was no time to sit down and check. Without hesitation, Karina reached out and grabbed Wilfred’s hand. His wide, warm palm enveloped hers, though she didn’t seem to notice. “Dr. Wilfred, let’s go. The police will handle this when they arrive,” she urged, tugging him gently. Karina didn’t pay attention to the moment, but Wilfred did. Her hand felt so small, so delicate in his, as if he could completely enclose it with just a slight movement. A strange warmth crept into his chest, unsettling him. He pulled his hand free, his voice calm but firm. “There’s no need.” Before Karina could argue, the sound of sirens p

    As Caleb spoke, he looked at Vera with a hint of helplessness. After all, her hand had been injured because of Luna. “Don’t feel guilty about this. Honestly, it’s nothing to me.“And I’m not the type to carry burdens over things like this.“Besides, it’s been so long. If this had happened back then, I might have cared. But now? I just don’t think it matters anymore.” Vera’s voice was steady and sincere. But Caleb’s expression darkened. “Why would you say that? Why do you think it doesn’t matter? Do you really see me as just the same as everyone else?” For some reason, at this moment, Caleb took it personally. Vera couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course not. You’re different from the rest—so obviously, I wouldn’t see it the same way.“You’ve helped me so much. The least I can do is acknowledge that, instead of stubbornly nitpicking about what’s right or wrong, don’t you think?“Besides, whatever happened between you and Luna, that’s none of my business. It’s in

    “I didn’t mean to just now. Besides, you’ve been acting all sneaky lately—so really, who else is to blame?” Seeing Yelena in tears, Liam, who had been furious just moments ago, felt a small pang of guilt. He was never good at expressing emotions. But watching her like this made him a little uncomfortable. “Go get your hand treated. Otherwise, people who don’t know any better might think I’ve been abusing you.” With that, he turned and walked away. Yelena watched his retreating figure, feeling a bit helpless. This wasn’t something she could decide on her own. Installing surveillance? It wasn’t as easy as it sounded. Liam was naturally suspicious. If he caught wind of it, the consequences would be disastrous. But she had no choice. She had a mission to complete, and there was more at stake than just this moment. Letting out a deep sigh, she finally decided to head to a clinic to get her hand treated. *“What happened to you? That’s a serious injury. You

    And just like that, the conversation fell into a brief silence. Meanwhile, on the other side, Hunter received a call from Yelena. “What did you just say?” Yelena told him that her hand was broken, and on top of that, Liam seemed to be getting suspicious. She wasn’t sure what to do, so she called Hunter for advice. “I don’t really care what happens to you, but at the very least, take care of yourself.“Otherwise, if something else goes wrong later, I’ll have to step in and clean up the mess. Don’t you think so?” Hearing this, Yelena was a little taken aback. “It’s not just about my injury. The real problem is, I’m scared of what he might do now.” Sure, she had taken the two hundred thousand dollars, but she had to stay alive to spend it. At this rate, she wouldn’t even make it through in one piece. “I already told you—protect yourself. If you need anything else, I’ll try to provide it. But right now, I need you to do something for me.” Hunter had been look

    “Yes, it’s in that mountain area. If you’re worried, you can go check it out yourself. But as for anything else, we don’t really have much more information.”Compared to everything else, this was the most baffling situation.“You make a good point. But given the current circumstances, I think it’ll be difficult to pull off.”Vera was speaking with the private investigator. Deep down, she was more worried than anything else.“Don’t worry,” the private investigator reassured her. “Aside from what we discussed earlier, nothing else seems too extreme. Plus, we’ve already looked into it pretty thoroughly.”By the time he finished speaking, his expression had grown more complicated.“Alright. I understand.”After hanging up, she anxiously looked straight ahead. If she had been mentally prepared before, now she was starting to feel uneasy. “What’s going on?” Caleb asked while driving, glancing at her. Vera hesitated, debating whether to tell him or not. But seeing the strange

    “I only had one surgery today,” Caleb said as he drove, his voice calm but firm. “Now that it’s done, I want to know why this happened.” After that, he said nothing more. Vera sat in silence, her heart uneasy as the car pulled up in front of an upscale club. Even though her hand was already bandaged, she still felt a sting of pain every time Caleb showed concern. “So this is what it feels like to have someone care,” she thought to herself.Back when Vera had been stepped on, her only concern had been the contract—whether the deal would fall apart and if her suffering had been for nothing.If it had been anything else, she probably wouldn’t have cared as much.But Caleb’s concern made it impossible for her to brush aside.It kept lingering in her mind, refusing to let her feel indifferent.“Don’t overthink it,” Caleb said, his voice firm. “Whatever happened between Luna and me doesn’t change the fact that this concerns me too—and I owe it to you to make things right.”

    “Oh? So this is the apology you wanted?” Vera’s forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain, but the two women standing over her barely reacted. As if this was normal to them. As if humiliating her was just another game. “I asked you a question.” Vera remained half-crouched on the ground, her hand still pinned under Luna’s heel. Helena smirked. “Yeah, I’d say that’s good enough.” She hadn’t expected Vera to be this stubborn, but it didn’t matter. With an exaggerated sigh, she casually scribbled her signature onto the contract. The deal was officially secured. Vera didn’t waste another second. She cast one last glance at the two women. “I have no interest in getting involved in your personal drama. As for Caleb and me, that’s between us. We both made our choices.” Luna’s expression twisted slightly. “I won’t bother commenting on your relationship,” she said, voice dripping with disdain. “But don’t think for a second that this will ever earn

    The moment Vera heard her assistant’s words, her expression darkened. Her previously calm tone turned firm. “If that’s the case, I understand. But I still have to go. This is my responsibility, and no one else can handle it.” If she didn’t take the lead, the other party would only grow bolder. However, the moment she glanced at the name on the negotiation list, she couldn’t help but frown. Because the person she was supposed to meet wasn’t just anyone. It was Helena Xander. Vera had encountered her before—back when her relationship with Caleb hadn’t yet escalated. Even then, Helena had openly mocked her, saying that since Caleb had been Luna’s devoted lapdog for years, he should know his place and never overstep. She had also thrown a few sharp words at Vera, telling her to recognize her own status—as if warning her that getting involved would only bring trouble. Back then, Vera hadn’t taken it seriously. She never thought she would cross paths with the

    “Alright, enough of this. If you’re serious about investigating, you’ll need proper psychological evaluations,” Caleb said nonchalantly.“The best way to assess something like this is through clinical observation—watch for behavioral inconsistencies, memory gaps, or personality shifts. If you can, gather video footage of his daily life. That’s the only way to get a clearer picture. Otherwise, it’s just speculation.”Caleb made the remark casually, then swiftly issued a dismissal.“You came all the way here just to mess with me? What about your own situation? How’s that going?” Caleb’s sarcasm was dry and pointed. Hunter let out a long sigh. “What else could it be? Business as usual. Compared to others, I’m probably the only one with enough patience for this mess.” He was, of course, referring to his ongoing battle with Liam. Caleb gave him a small nod. “Alright, you should get going now. I need to rest. Don’t loiter around here.” Without hesitation, he waved his hand

    Vera forced an awkward smile at Hunter before quickly retreating back into the bathroom to change. Hunter, watching her leave, couldn't help but smirk. “You’re really living the good life, huh?” he teased. “Didn’t expect you to have such luck.” Caleb rolled his eyes, clearly uninterested. “Enough with the nonsense. Why are you here? And who exactly were you talking about over the phone?” He didn’t want to entertain pointless banter, especially not about women. If he was being honest, even he couldn’t fully explain his feelings toward Luna. He wasn’t sure what was left between them—was it love, or just the remnants of something that had long turned sour? That pitiful look in her eyes earlier had shaken him. For a fleeting moment, he had wanted to pull her into his arms, to comfort her like he used to. But after so many years of being humiliated and pushed aside, he had forgotten how to even speak to her anymore. So instead, he did what was easiest—he change
