"Is your head still heavy?" Theodore asked as he finished the drink in his glass."It's better.""Want to go out?" Theodore offered first."Where to?" Samantha frowned."I don't know, just for a walk."Samantha stared at Theodore for a few seconds as she thought of a response to the offer. Theodore also patiently waited without giving any expression."Okay.""Okay, I'll wait downstairs. Get ready first," Theodore said as he carried the tray of snacks outside."Alright, thank you."Samantha walked Theodore to the front door of the room before he got ready to put on his coat and shoes. Of course, Samantha couldn't change into anything else as she had limited clothes."Preston, get the car ready because I'm going out with Samantha.""Yes, sir."Theodore ran back into his room and got ready. Theodore wore casual clothes, a jacket, pants, and shoes. Tonight, it was cold enough that Theodore would wear thick, layered clothing.After finishing, Theodore ran downstairs and headed to the front
The next day, Samantha and Theodore had breakfast together at the dining table. The two of them had their usual breakfast and it didn't seem like anything happened last night."I'll take you home today." Theodore told Samantha without looking at her."Today? This soon?" Samantha looked a little sad. "Hm, I mean okay."Samantha looked away and focused on eating. Samantha didn't really want to go home so soon, but it was okay because she couldn't stay here forever. Samantha would go back to her daily routine and not be able to see Theodore more often."What are you thinking, Samantha?" she muttered, shaking her head."What's wrong?" Theodore noticed Samantha's strange behavior."Nothing." Samantha finished her breakfast quickly before leaving the dining table. "I'll get ready first and walk down."Samantha simply left, went back to her room, and took all her belongings with her. Samantha went back downstairs and found Landon already standing in front of a car."Please, Ms. Samantha." La
"Alex, don't you know who you're up against?" Theodore was still standing while looking straight at Alex very sternly.Alex also stood up and gave him a murderous look. "I know very well, Mr. Theodore Hawthorne."Theodore snorted in annoyance like a bull in a war zone. Alex was pleased that he had managed to master Theodore's emotions."Who helped you?" Theodore was sure that someone was helping him to do this."I can do it myself, don't you believe it?" Alex didn't want to reveal what really happened."No way, I'm sure there must be a mastermind of all the things you've done.""What do you mean? I said I did this all by myself. Are you really underestimating me?" Alex raised his tone quite high.Theodore chuckled and turned his face away from Alex. That made Alex also annoyed by Theodore's behavior.Alex immediately grabbed Theodore's arm and turned Theodore's body with a single stomp. Their faces met again with anger."Can someone as weak as you do this?" Theodore turned the questio
Theodore gave Samantha's phone number to Preston. Later, Preston helped track down Samantha's location."I found her, sir." Preston told him."Head to that location immediately.""Yes, sir."Preston drove his car to the location where Samantha had last been. It happened to be on a dock. Knowing that, of course Theodore wouldn't think twice. The only thing Theodore was worried about was Samantha getting hurt by Alex."Is it still far?" asked Theodore to make sure when they had passed fifteen minutes of travel."Halfway, sir." Preston looked back at the maps on his phone."Pick up the pace," Theodore ordered, feeling both amused and annoyed.Preston nodded his head and hit the gas again. Preston could only do the orders given by Theodore without asking or answering them. The speed of the car almost touched 110 km/h which was quite dangerous if you think about it."How many more kilos?" Theodore confirmed again to Preston."Five more kilometers." Preston replied confidently with the numb
Theodore was still in Alex's grasp. Samantha could only stare with sad and puffy eyes. Alex pulled Theodore's body like a living corpse."You guys stay where you are!" Alex said while pointing the dagger at everyone.Alex brought Theodore to one side of the boat and then told him to stand at the end of the boat. Alex pointed the dagger into Theodore’s neck while searching for something. Theodore stayed still, didn’t want to move, and made his wounds worse.Alex took a large chain weighing more than 10 kg and tied it around Theodore's legs. Theodore's hands were also tied behind his back so that he could not move."So, this is how your life will end, Sir Theodore Hawthorne." Alex laughed while looking at Theodore, who was already helpless in front of him.After tying everything up, Alex pulled Theodore's body to the edge of the boat. While that was happening, Preston untied and covered Samantha's mouth. After that, they both watched what Alex did to Theodore."Preston, isn't that Theo?
"But Sir Theodore can be saved?" asked Preston with a troubled face."We tried our best." The doctor gave an ambiguous answer."Of course, you must do your best. You must succeed in bringing Sir Theodore back to normal."An angry Preston immediately attacked the doctor. Samantha, who saw this, tried to mediate between Preston and the doctor. Samantha knows that Preston must take responsibility for everything that happened to Theodore."Doctor, can we see Theo?" Samantha asked carefully and politely."Please," the doctor said, telling the two nurses to prepare the medical clothing.Samantha and Preston put on all the medical clothes according to the procedure. Only then did they enter the ICU room to visit Theodore.All medical devices were attached to Theodore's body. Theodore's skin color was still pale, like a corpse. However, Theodore's heartbeat was still quite stable despite looking weak. Preston went to the right side of Theodore's bed, while Samantha was on the left side."Sir,
Alex, who managed to leave the sea first, pulled up to the dock. Alex parked his jet ski and jumped onto land. Alex walked a few meters from the dock and then hailed a taxi."Please, take me to this address." Alex showed the address written on the paper to the taxi driver."Yes, sir."The driver immediately drove his car to the address shown. Alex trusted the taxi driver and enjoyed the scenery he passed along the way. The destination was about 45 minutes from the pier."Here you are, sir.""Alright, thank you." Alex said as he handed the taxi driver a few bills.Alex got out of the car and walked straight to the front fence of the house in front of him. Alex looked for the bell button and pressed it. Alex waited patiently for the owner to come out.The owner of the house was none other than a middle-aged woman. "Mrs. Victoria Hawthorne?" Alex greeted her politely."Right, who are you?" Victoria stared in alarm because she had never seen the man in front of her."Meet me, Alex, Spence
"Nurse, how is the condition inside? Has there been any progress from Sir Theodore?" Preston waited at the door of the ICU room with a disheveled face.For almost three days, Preston had been waiting at the hospital and had slept less than 10 hours. He had eaten, but his body and clothes had not been cleaned. Preston also had to take care of many things while Theodore was unconscious."His condition is still critical, and the doctors and other medical teams are still trying their best." The nurse explained it to Preston optimistically."You must be able to save him. If not, I will sue this hospital."Preston was at a loss for words and energy to deal with all of this. Preston had to save Theodore, no matter what."Mr. Preston," the nurse called from the other side of the room."How is Ms. Samantha? Is everything okay?" Preston's words were like a template; he always asked the nurses in this hospital."She's stabilizing, but Ms. Samantha needs a lot of rest.""Has Ms. Samantha regained
