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

"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

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

~ Three days laterCaroline had returned home from the hospital and security at home was very tight. Ben deliberately installed additional security systems such as motion and sound sensors around his house to identify suspicious movements or sounds from outside. Not only that, Ben increased the number of professional subordinates. Some of them were former military members or experienced martial arts experts to keep his house safe. "Ben, are you overreacting to this?" asked Caroline as she leaned against the back of the bed."No, I'm not. I would do anything for the safety of this house and you, Caroline. I don't want it to happen again and cost you your life." Ben's hand went to the top of Caroline's head and gently stroked her hair.Caroline smiled sweetly at Ben and felt so protected. Since Johan had caused her harm, there was no chance for him to be present in her life. After she recovered, she would file for divorce from Johan."Ben, I want to sue Johan for divorce immediately. I

Ben slept through the night with Caroline. The woman in his arms was fast asleep. It was nice to see that beautiful face up close like this. Caroline's breath felt so warm on his face.This was the first time he felt so much love for a woman. The woman he found almost died on the side of the road at that time. Finding her in a weak, helpless, and almost hopeless state. But now, in his arms, Caroline looked peaceful. The wounds of the past still left their mark, but he knew that this woman was much stronger than she looked.Caroline who had made his days more colorful. He tightened his embrace as if to make sure that Caroline was really by his side. This moment felt so precious, like something he didn't want to let go of."I will always be by your side and protect you at all times," Ben whispered in Caroline's ear.The love he felt for Caroline was not just a momentary attraction. It was a deeper feeling, more real and something he never thought would happen in his life. Ben closed his
