Joaquin parked in front of Mikyla’s apartment, his grip tightening around the steering wheel for a moment before he exhaled and got out. He walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and helped Mikyla out. She was still trembling, clinging to his jacket as if it were the only thing keeping her together.They entered the apartment in silence.Inside, the space was dimly lit, warm yet eerily quiet. Joaquin guided Mikyla toward the couch, where she curled up, still wearing his jacket over her thin dress.Joaquin’s gaze softened.“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice quieter than usual.Mikyla looked up at him with red-rimmed eyes and nodded weak

Gracia confirmed. "I had one of our people follow Javier today. He met with that boy for nearly an hour."James leaned back in his chair, exhaling sharply through his nose.

Chapter 164: Accusations

The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar

The hospital felt different today.Joaquin had barely stepped inside when he noticed it—subtle at first, but unmistakable.The shift in the air, the way people turned to look at him, their eyes filled with something he couldn’t quite place at first.It wasn’t curiosity.It wasn’t admiration or even the usual indifference of a busy hospital.No. It was disgust.Whispers followed him as he walked down the hall. Soft, hushed words spoken just low enough that he couldn’t hear them completely—but he caught pieces."Did you hear?""I can’t believe it!"

The morning was supposed to be like any other.Joaquin woke up early, moving through his usual routine—shower, coffee, grabbing his keys from the counter.But before he could step out the door, a heavy knock echoed through the apartment.It wasn’t the casual knock of a neighbor.It was firm. Purposeful.A sound that made his stomach drop.Joaquin opened the door.Two uniformed police officers stood there, their expressions unreadable."Dr. Joaquin Lopez?" one of them asked.Joaquin felt his pulse quicken, but he kept his face neutral

Why?" she asked, her voice guarded."I'm outside," James said simply.Serena’s grip tightened. She hesitated for only a moment before walking to her front door.When she opened it, James stood there, leaning casually against the doorframe.His presence
