From Useless To Indispensable

Betrayal

The hospital room cast in a dim light, enveloped by an eerie silence broken only by the rhythmic beeping of monitors. Christopher lay still in his bed, his eyes closed, his breath shallow and labored. Despite the diligent efforts of the medical team, his condition showed no signs of improvement, leaving a heavy cloud of uncertainty hanging over the room.

Chairman Conrad stood at Christopher's bedside, flanked by Cosmos and Yue Wang. His brow furrowed with worry, he spoke in a low, somber tone. "I must return to the company," he said, his voice heavy with regret. "But I trust both of you to care for Christopher in my absence."

Cosmos nodded solemnly, his resolve firm as he accepted the weight of the responsibility placed upon him. Beside him, Yue Wang remained silent, her gaze fixed on Christopher's pale, motionless form, her heart heavy with apprehension.

As Chairman Conrad departed, leaving Cosmos and Yue Wang alone in the room, a tense silence settled over them like a heavy blanket.
