The quiet hum of the machines filled the hospital room, a steady, rhythmic sound that Joaquin had grown too familiar with. It was the only sign of life in the sterile space—aside from the rise and fall of Jasmine’s chest. It should have been comforting. It wasn’t.Joaquin sat slumped in the chair beside her bed, exhaustion pulling at his body like lead weights. His bandages itched, his ribs still ached with every breath, but none of that mattered. Not when his sister was still lying there, pale and silent, her soul finally returned but her body still refusing to wake up.He reached for her hand, taking it gently on his own. Her skin was cool, her fingers limp. He squeezed anyway.“Come on, Jas,” he whispered, his voice rough. “You’re back. You fought so hard… just a little more, okay? I need you.”The clock on the wall ticked on, each second dragging into eternity.Joaquin didn’t know how many hours passed. The light in the room shifted a

Chapter 142: A Brother’s Questions

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

Joaquin sat by Jasmine's bedside, exhaustion hanging heavy on his shoulders, but there was no way he was leaving. Not yet. Not until he got the answers he’d been waiting for.Jasmine looked so small and fragile against the stark white sheets — her skin pale, her face drawn with the weight of everything she’d endured. But her eyes… those same dark eyes that had always been so fierce and full of life were finally open, watching him with cautious warmth.“You should be resting,” she whispered, her voice still weak but steady.Joaquin shook his head, a small, tired smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “You first.”That earned him the smallest huff of a laugh — but the sound was short-lived. The silence that followed felt heavier than it should have, filled with everything they hadn’t said. And Joaquin knew he couldn’t wait any longer.“Jasmine,” he started gently, his voice low. “I need to know what happened. The accident… everything that led up to it. Please.”

Chapter 143: Frustration

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

The hospital room was quiet, save for the steady beep of the monitors and the soft rustle of curtains swaying with the air conditioning. Joaquin sat in the chair beside Jasmine’s bed, his leg bouncing with restless energy. His mind wouldn’t settle — not after what Jasmine had told him.Andrew.Joaquin clenched his fists, his jaw tight as the name echoed in his head. He hadn’t wanted to believe it. He thought they were done with Andrew Alvarez — that after the kidnapping, the threats, and the betrayal, the man had finally backed off. But now…“Joaquin,” Serena’s soft voice pulled him from his thoughts.He glanced up as she stepped into the room, her expression a careful mix of concern and exhaustion.She looked like she hadn’t slept in days, and knowing Serena, she probably hadn’t.“Hey,” she said, moving closer. “You okay?”“No,” he answered honestly. There was no point pretending otherwise. “I just… I don’t know how much more of this I can take

Chapter 144: The Confrontation

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

Joaquin didn’t even realize how fast he was moving until he was already storming through the hospital corridors, his pulse pounding like a war drum. He didn’t care who was watching — didn’t care about the nurses turning their heads or the patients staring after him.He was done waiting. Done playing it safe.Andrew Alvarez did it again and Joaquin was done staying silent. When he reached Andrew’s office, he didn’t bother knocking. He shoved the door open so hard it slammed into the wall behind it with a loud crack.Andrew looked up from his desk, startled. He blinked once, twice — and then his expression shifted into something calm and composed. Too calm. Too composed. “Joaquin,” he said smoothly, setting down the pen in his hand. “What a… dramatic entrance.”“Cut the crap,” Joaquin snarled, his voice low and dangerous. He stepped inside and slammed the door shut behind him. “We need to talk.”Andrew leaned back in his chair, fo

Chapter 145: A Game of Power

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

Andrew stormed into James Villareal’s office without knocking, his pulse hammering in his ears. The confrontation with Joaquin still lingered in his mind, the rage, the humiliation—he hadn’t expected Joaquin to come at him so aggressively. But what unsettled him the most wasn’t Joaquin’s anger. It was his persistence. Joaquin wasn’t going to back down, and that meant Andrew had a problem. James looked up from behind his massive mahogany desk, his expression completely unaffected by Andrew’s entrance. He barely spared him a glance before returning to the documents in front of him, as if Andrew wasn’t worth more than an afterthought. Andrew clenched his fists at his sides, forcing himself to breathe through his frustration. “We need to talk, Mr. Villareal.” James sighed, taking his time flipping through the last page of his document before setting it down. Then, finally, he leaned

Chapter 146: Mikyla’s Warning

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

Joaquin was pacing outside Jasmine’s hospital room when Mikyla approached him.Her expression was tense, her hands clenched at her sides like she was trying to stop herself from second-guessing her decision.Joaquin eyed her warily.He still didn’t know what to make of her. He had already moved on, but that didn’t mean he would be swayed by her again.And yet, here she was, seeking him out like she had something important to say.“I need to talk to you,” Mikyla said, her voice low.Joaquin crossed his arms. “About what?”She hesitated, glancing around to make sure no one was within earshot. Then, she stepped closer.“It’s about Andrew,” she murmured.Joaquin’s eyes darkened. “What about him?”Mikyla’s lips pressed into a thin line. She looked around again, making sure no one was watching or listening.“He’s conspiring with someone to remove you from the hospital.”Joaquin’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t let his expression shift.He h

Chapter 147: Connecting the Dots

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

Joaquin sat across from Serena in his office, his fingers tapping restlessly against the desk. His mind was racing, trying to process everything Mikyla had told him. Andrew conspiring with James Villareal. The attempt to remove him from the hospital. And yet, the more he thought about it, the more tangled the web became. Serena, sitting with her arms crossed, was deep in thought as well. The silence between them stretched for a long moment before she finally spoke. “So,” she started, voice measured, “do you believe Mikyla?” Joaquin let out a humorless chuckle. “Believe her?” He leaned back in his chair, shaking his head. “I don’t trust her. Not after what she did. But that doesn’t mean she’s lying this time.” Serena nodded slowly, tapping her fingers against her arm. “That’s what’s bothering me too. Why tell you this now? What does she gain from it?” Joaquin exhaled sharply. That was the qu

Chapter 148: Pushing for the Truth

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

Things were slowly starting to make sense to Joaquin, yet there were still too many unanswered questions.His sister’s connection to George Beckham remained one of them.The Blue Ranking Competition was approaching fast, and he couldn’t let George use Jasmine against him. If George had been involved in her accident, Joaquin needed to know why.Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door to Jasmine’s hospital room.Inside, she was sitting up against the pillows. Her face was still pale, but she looked stronger than before. When she saw him, her eyes softened.“Hey,” she said quietly.“Hey,” he replied, closing the door behind him. He tried to keep his voice calm—gentle, even—but he couldn’t keep walking in the dark.“How are you feeling?”“Better,” she answered with a small smile, but a flicker of nervousness in her eyes betrayed her real emotions.She knew why he was here.Joaquin pulled the chair closer to her bed and sat down.“Jasmine

Chapter 149: A Silent Threat

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

Jasmine had been staring at the television in her hospital room, lost in thought, when the door creaked open.She sat up, expecting a nurse to enter. But instead, a man with an authoritative presence stepped inside.Her body went rigid. She would never forget this man.Jasmine’s breath caught in her throat. ‘Why is he here?’“What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice sharper than she intended.For a split second, the man looked surprised, but then he smirked.“You know me?”Jasmine raised an eyebrow, her back instinctively pressing against th

Chapter 150: The Father

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

Jasmine’s eyes narrowed. She could feel the unspoken threat in James’s gaze—sharp, piercing, as if it could cut straight through her soul.And she knew without a doubt that he was capable of doing exactly what he implied.This was why she had always been adamant about keeping her brother away from him.From the very beginning, she had never wanted Joaquin to work at Villareal Medical Hospital. But she had convinced herself that their lives were worlds apart, that their paths would never cross.She had been wrong.Now, it felt as if fate itself was forcing the three of them together.She should never have gone to their father that day.A Few Months AgoJasmine stood before the towering iron gates, her hands clenched at her sides.Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined coming back here.The last time she set foot in this mansion, she was eight years old.This place had once been a home—a fleeting, fragile illusion of one—for her a
