Flo sat beside Caroline politely. Perhaps, she had something to tell her?"Flo, what's wrong with you, do you want to tell me?" Caroline held one of Flo's hands."Miss Caroline, do you have any love feelings for Mr. Charles?" asked Flo suddenly.She immediately smiled to herself when Flo talked about Ben. Caroline was still confused about her feelings. Could it be because they often meet and are close to each other can foster feelings of love? Flo was still waiting for an answer from her."If you do have feelings for Mr. Charles, I beg you not to hurt his feelings. Because Mr. Charles loves you very much. This is the first time I have seen him so interested and feel so comfortable with a woman and dare to risk anything for you," Flo replied in front of Caroline.She was speechless and just listened to Flo's words. Ben would do anything for her, even sacrifice his life. However, she did not want to rush to answer."I'm the only one Ben loves, is that it?" Caroline's eyebrows rose."Yes
Victoria greeted Johan and was surprised to see his bloody face. She immediately helped to treat her son's wound."Johan, why are you like this? You look so horrible! Did you fight with someone?" Victoria asked Johan and told him to sit down.Johan did not immediately answer his mother's question. He just walked to the sofa and complained of pain. Victoria quickly took the first aid kit box from the small cupboard in the corner of the room and returned with hasty steps."Yes, I fought with Ben and Andrew." Johan endured the pain and Victoria helped him to treat his wounds."Who were they?" asked a curious Victoria as she cleaned the cuts on Johan's face."Ben is Caroline's lover and Andrew is his subordinate."Hearing Caroline's name spoken by Johan, made Victoria stop to apply antiseptic medicine on her son's skin. Her eyes were wide and furious. Her gaze was fixed on Johan."So, it's all because of that woman?" asked a furious Victoria.Johan nodded, then looked at his mother's face
The front door was broken down by Johan's subordinates, making the atmosphere in the house even more tense. He came here to give Ben a punishment for daring to defy him. By taking Caroline hostage, Ben could do nothing and surrender without a fight."Who are they?" asked Flo in a trembling voice, she was terrified to see several people trying to break down the door.Ben's remaining subordinates inside tried to fight off Johan's well-trained men. The sound of banging doors was getting louder, making Flo panic even more and immediately went upstairs to call Ben. Flo's hands trembled as she gripped the banister. Johan and his subordinates managed to get into the house. They attacked each other. However, Johan's subordinates managed to stop Ben's subordinates by using tranquilizer dart guns."Mr. Charles, wake up, sir, it's an emergency!" Flo shouted and knocked loudly on Ben's bedroom door.However, there was no response from inside the room. The sound of footsteps approaching from below
Approximately five hours later, Andrew regained consciousness. However, his head still felt dizzy, his head felt like it was spinning violently. He saw that some of his friends had woken up and some were still unconscious although their vision was still blurry. He tried to stand up slowly while holding his head. Andrew immediately checked the condition of the house and worried about Ben's condition. Andrew almost fell, but he was lucky enough to lean against the wall. He tried to remember the last incident before fainting, but his mind still couldn't fully focus.The situation inside was so chaotic that he saw Flo running towards him while crying. Flo was still in shock after the incident and was staggering."Where is Mr. Charles?" asked Andrew while holding Flo's hand."He's in the room. Unconscious," Flo said with a sad look on her face."Where is Miss Caroline? Is she okay?" Andrew asked again.Flo just shook her head. She told Andrew that Caroline had been taken away by Johan. And
"Johan, I beg you, don't hurt Ben, let alone have evil plans to kill him. He is a good man." Caroline burst into tears in front of Johan and Victoria."You even begged for forgiveness for another man?" Johan looked at Caroline with a cold expression."He is the one who saved my life." Caroline still defended Ben because he was good to her.Victoria couldn't wait to kill Caroline, Johan was so wordy. Instead of hoping with Johan, it was better to do it herself. Victoria then took out a gun from her bag. She then pointed the gun at Caroline."Mom, where did you get that gun?" asked Johan who suddenly panicked. He tried to take the gun in his mother's hand."You're just beating around the bush, Johan! You still have feelings for Caroline, right? So you can't afford to kill her." Victoria fired one bullet from the gun.There was a loud gunshot and the bullet hit Caroline in the stomach. Johan couldn't believe that his mother could do something like this. Caroline's stomach was bleeding an
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
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
'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
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
