In the hospital, from the opposite side of a glass, Daniel stood while Daphne sat, staring intently at the
person in the intensive care unit, their eyes bloodshot from not catching a wink of sleep all night.
The doctor had just come to examine Theodore and said his vital signs were still stable. If nothing
unexpected happened, he should be able to get through the critical period safely.
After a while, one of Daniel's subordinates came over and whispered something to him; they had dealt
with several groups of people trying to infiltrate the hospital throughout the night, and this was already
the fifth group.
Daniel nodded, and after his subordinate left, he asked Daphne, "Would you like to take a nap? I can
keep watch over here."
However, Daphne shook her head and turned down his offer because she wanted to see Theodore
awaken with her own eyes so that she could rest assured. Daniel didn't say anything more and just
crossed his arms, leaning against the wall and waiting patiently as time ticked by.
They didn't know how much time had passed when the lights in the corridor suddenly turned off.
Looking up, Daphne jumped from her seat and asked, "What's happening?"
Daniel cast a look toward the intensive care unit. The circuit inside was separate from the hospital's
main circuit, so the lights and equipment were still functioning normally. "Don't worry and stand at the
door of the ward," he assured calmly. "Don't let anyone in."
Agreeing to this, she ran to the door and gripped the handle of the intensive care unit door tightly, her
hands trembling slightly.
Meanwhile, Daniel took out his phone and made a call, but no one answered, and his face darkened. It
seems like their previous failures have made them lose their patience, he thought. Now, they're
prepared to do whatever it takes so that Theodore Frost dies in the hospital.
In the entire corridor, apart from the faint light from the intensive care unit, there was no other light
source. Seconds later, sounds of hurried footsteps were heard, and many people arrived.
Putting away his phone, Daniel whispered to Daphne, "I might not be able to take care of you later. You
—"
Daphne interrupted, "Don't worry about me. I'll stay here. Even if it means death, I won't let them in."
There was no time for Daniel to reply before the people were already in front of him. Taking the
offensive stance, he initiated the attack, hitting one of the men's legs, and a fight ensued.
Leaning against the door, Daphne couldn't see what was happening, but she could hear the sounds of
punches and kicks in the darkness, and she held onto the door handle even tighter as the smell of
blood filled the air.
Almost at the same time, someone came from the other side. When they came to open the door, they
probably didn't expect someone to be blocking it and hesitated for a moment before roughly grabbing
Daphne's arm, trying to shove her aside.
Nevertheless, they didn't expect that they couldn't move her aside when they pulled, and time was
running out for them.
The man used even more force. Even so, he couldn't pull her away. She was like a tree rooted to the
door, refusing to budge. Furious, the man slapped her on her body and face, growling, "Let go!"
Daphne gritted her teeth, and a metallic, salty taste started to spread out in her mouth. "No, I won't let
go!"
In the darkness, chaos and noise filled the air. Although the man was strong, Daphne didn't know what
kept her going. All she knew was that if she let go of the door handle, Louis' life would be ruined. So,
she absolutely couldn't—and wouldn't—step back.
All of a sudden, the lights turned back on, and she could finally clearly see the man in front of her who
was exuding a menacing aura—Justin's assistant, Hunter Sins.
As the lights came on, many people flooded into the corridor.
Hunter glanced at Daphne, his eyes filled with determination, then looked at the person coming from
the other side. Without hesitation, he turned around and jumped out of the window. As for the men he
brought, some managed to escape in the chaos while others were detained by Daniel's men.
Daniel was injured in the fight. Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth with a frown, he
turned to Daphne, who was leaning against the door. Her hair was disheveled, half of her face was
swollen, and her breathing was shallow, her eyes without any focus.
Seeing that it seemed safe now, she slowly slid down against the door, her wrist still hanging from the
gap of the door handle. The flesh on the back of her hand was a blur; it was a horrifying, gruesome
sight from rubbing roughly against the door.
Daniel was about to go over when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Spinning his head around,
he saw that William had arrived.
William came to a stop in front of him with a grim face and glanced at Daphne at the door. After a
moment, he said to his assistant behind him, "Call a doctor."
For a moment, Daniel was silent before asking, "Have you been to the police station?"
William peered at him. "Not yet. I came here directly after getting off the plane, but it looks like I was
late." Then, he added, "Take care of the situation here. I'm going to the police station and will be back
later."
Daniel nodded, and the doctor arrived after William left. A nurse went to help Daphne, but she was still
on high alert and shrank back toward the door.
Pacing over, Daniel was about to speak when he accidentally touched his own wound, causing himself
to hiss in pain. "It's alright now. Thanks to you, Theodore Frost is still alive and well."
Light returned to Daphne's eyes, but tears rolled down her face unwittingly. She felt like crying and
laughing at the same time because of the irony. The nurse helped her up and sat her in a nearby chair,
and the doctor began to examine and treat her wounds.
Seeing this, Daniel turned around and found that William had left his men behind. He was about to go
to the window at the end of the corridor to check when Daphne suddenly spoke up, "That person is
Justin Pearson's assistant."
Daniel turned his head. "What?"
Daphne repeated, "The person who tried to enter just now. He's Justin Pearson's assistant, Hunter
Sins. I've seen him before at Pearson Group."
"Are you sure he's the person you saw?" Daniel asked.
She nodded. "I saw it very clearly, and I definitely won't mistake it."
"In that case, things just got a lot simpler."
Although they didn't have any strong evidence that could topple Justin at the moment, setting
everything else aside, just Daphne's injuries and her accusations meant that Hunter couldn't escape.
"Alright, take care of your wounds and rest at home," he said.
But Daphne shook her head. "I'm not leaving."
Daniel paused for a couple of seconds before saying, "I don't mean to chase you away, but the person
who just came is Louis' father. After he visits the police station, he'll return here. It doesn't seem
appropriate for you to meet here."
Speechless, Daphne lowered her head and remained calm. "I understand. I'll leave in a while."
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Theodore Frost," he assured. "I'll inform you immediately once he
wakes up."
"Thank you."
"Don't stand on ceremony. You're Zoe's friend, too."
Daphne stared at him with sincerity in her eyes. "Thank you for saving Theodore Frost's life." Only then
can we save Louis, she added silently.
Daniel smiled. "In that case, there's no need to say thank you."
