Chapter 290Kai crouched beside Sasha's lifeless body, his mind focused but tinged with the faintest sense of regret.As he began to search her, Liam stood a few steps back, his eyes darting between Sasha and Kai. He was clearly still shaken, fear gnawing at him.“Is she dead?” Liam asked, his voice trembling.Kai nodded, his expression unreadable. “Yes, she’s dead.”Liam exhaled sharply. “Good. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you hadn’t shown up.Kai looked up from Sasha’s body and asked, “Where is she?”He was referring to Alisha.Liam pointed weakly towards the hallway. “She’s over there... still breathing, but she was knocked out by that... that bitch.” He gestured towards Sasha, his voice thick with anger and fear.Kai didn’t respond. Instead, he turned his attention back to Sasha’s body, his face set in a grim expression as he methodically began to search her.His hands moved with precision, first removing the face mask to reveal her true identity. Her face, now exposed, sur

Chapter 292Williams was still in the car, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the hospital.The second he saw Nathaniel Grey enter the building, a cold dread settled in his gut.He clenched the steering wheel, his mind racing. It was over. He knew it deep down. Sasha didn’t stand a chance against someone like Nathaniel.He reached for the earpiece, trying one last time to contact her. “Sasha, abort the mission. Get out of there,” he whispered urgently.But there was no response, only the faint crackle of static. His heart pounded in his chest. She was either too focused on the mission to respond or something had gone terribly wrong.For a brief moment, he considered going in after her, but then he hesitated. This wasn’t part of the plan. Sasha was a professional; she knew the risks, and she had taken full responsibility for the job.Williams told himself he wasn’t going to risk his own neck for her, especially not with Nathaniel in the picture. She was paid handsomely for this, after a

Chapter 294Kai closed the door quietly after the police left, the soft click echoing in the silence of the room.He walked back with measured steps and sat down across from Liam, who was staring at the floor, lost in thought.The tension between them was thick, a mixture of anxiety, anger, and uncertainty hanging in the air.Liam had been moved to a different room already, one that was now guarded by security officers stationed just outside the door.The extra protection was meant to reassure him, but it did little to ease his mind.Despite the added precautions, Liam had already made up his mind—he would leave the hospital later that day.The idea of staying any longer, even with only three days left until his official discharge, felt unbearable to him.The night's event had shaken him so deeply that he couldn’t imagine spending another night in the hospital, no matter how secure it was supposed to be.He finally broke the silence, his voice heavy with frustration. “So, who do you t

Chapter 296By morning, the news of the incident at Sky Care Hospital had spread like wildfire throughout Emerald Falls.Every media outlet was covering the story, each with its own version of events. Some claimed it was a targeted assassination attempt on Liam Carter, while others speculated it was part of a broader conspiracy.The headlines buzzed with sensationalism, and the town was rife with rumors.Upstairs in his study, Eric Wood was buttoning up his shirt, preparing to head to the office.He had been trying to ignore the growing buzz outside, focusing instead on the day ahead. Just as he tightened his tie, he heard Mary’s voice calling from downstairs.“Honey, have you seen the news this morning?” she asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and concern.Eric paused, his hand hovering over his tie. “What news?” he called back, trying to sound casual as he walked toward the door. The truth was, he had a sinking feeling about what she might be referring to.“About Sky Care,” Mary repl

Chapter 298Meanwhile, before now, when Alisha was finally declared okay by Dr. Avery, there was a collective sigh of relief. Dr. Avery had reassured everyone in the room, saying, "She’s out of danger now. It’ll take time for her to fully recover, but she’s strong."Liam Carter, who had been waiting impatiently, didn’t waste any time. "Dr. Avery," he said, his voice firm, "I want to be discharged today."Dr. Avery looked at him with a slight frown. "Mr. Carter, you still have three days left before your official discharge. It’s important that you rest and fully recover."But Liam was resolute. "I understand, Doctor, but after what happened, I don’t feel safe here. I need to leave."Dr. Avery understood his concern and reluctantly agreed. "Alright, if you’re sure. I’ll sign the discharge papers, but please take it easy at home. Your health is still fragile."By this time, news of the incident had spread like wildfire. The hospital grounds were swarming with reporters, eager to get a st
