'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

"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

"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

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

Her face and body were drenched as she was splashed with water. She blinked her eyes repeatedly and immediately woke up. She saw her mother-in-law standing with her arms crossed, a smug expression on her face."Do you think you're some kind of princess who can just sleep comfortably until now?" Victoria yanked Caroline's hair harshly, causing her to cry out in pain."What did I do wrong?" Caroline asked softly, trying to free herself."You’re asking what you did wrong?" Victoria glared at Caroline, her grip on Caroline's hair tightening.Caroline was feeling unwell, which was why she wanted to rest for a bit. From morning until night, she was constantly ordered to do house chores like a servant. Her husband, Johan, allowed her to be treated this way and tormented in this house.Johan didn’t care about her. His attitude was nothing like it had been early in their marriage. They had been married for three years, and initially, Johan often defended and protected her. However, over time,

"Mr. Charles?" Caroline's eyebrows shot up."Yes, Miss."The servant walked toward the door and called someone over. Caroline winced in pain as she tried to stand. Johan's kick still lingered, causing her pain."Miss, what's wrong with you?" The servant rushed over to Caroline with a worried look on her face. "Is it still hurting?""Yes.""Andrew, quickly call Mr. Charles to come to the room." The servant shouted and asked a man to call Mr. Charles.Caroline didn't even know the servant's name yet. The woman was very beautiful with such beautiful hazel eyes. Her smile was also very charming."May I ask what your name is?" Caroline asked softly."Of course. My name is Florence. Just call me Flo.""My name is Caroline."Caroline and Flo shook hands. They both smiled at each other. Suddenly, a man walked into the room. Caroline's eyes were fixed on the man."Mr. Charles, you finally came." Flo called her master while bowing.Caroline was still staring at Ben without blinking. She wanted

"Because my husband and mother-in-law treated me so horribly. To them, I was nothing more than trash. They always blamed me and insulted me as they pleased." Caroline clutched her chest, which trembled slightly from her sobs.Sharing a bit with Ben didn’t seem like a problem. On the contrary, it made her feel a little more at ease. Afterward, Caroline wiped away the tears streaming down her face. Sitting beside her, Ben showed such concern and moved closer.Caroline continued to stare at Ben. Could this be a good destiny for her, to be in this house? Meeting Ben made her feel like she was being treated like a queen."I understand now why you behaved like that towards me before." Ben reached out and gently stroked Caroline's long hair.Caroline remained silent, just feeling the gentle touch. Ben urged her to rest and pulled the blanket over her."Rest now. Don't let yourself keep thinking about negative things. Don't worry, you are much safer here, and no one will bother you." Ben spok

Caroline hurriedly stepped out of the bathtub and she put on her bathrobe. She walked toward the door, opened it, and saw Ben standing with a few servants, including Flo. As she had suspected, her intuition was correct."Have you finished bathing?" Ben asked gently."Why were you about to open the door earlier? I wasn’t even done bathing.""I'm sorry. But I didn’t actually come in, did I?"She couldn’t be angry with Ben since he had saved her life. Besides, he had already apologized for his boldness. It wasn’t a big deal."If you needed help, I could have accompanied you during your bath," Ben said with a smile and a playful wink at Caroline."What do you mean, Mr. Charles?" Caroline asked."Caroline, please don’t be mad at me. I only meant well and had no intention of disrespecting you." Ben raised both hands in apology, explaining that his comment was just a joke.Caroline turned away from Ben and sat on the bed. Unexpectedly, Ben followed her, and their eyes met briefly."Forgive m

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

"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

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

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!"
