NovelStartRyan sped alone toward the hospital in his sports car. The car's engine roared like thunder and left the blurred scenery behind.
As soon as he reached the hospital, he got out of the car and rushed into the VIP ward area.
Bella, Justin, Asher, and Arnold were waiting outside the ward.
“How is Carrie?” Ryan asked, breathless and sweating.
“Grandpa Nigel and Chairman Salvador are with her inside.”
Bella's face glowed with relief but still showed concern. “However, Carrie's internal injuries need careful treatment. Her body is still
very weak, and there's even a possibility of recurring injuries in the future.”
“Though she protected her head during the attack, prolonged immersion in water caused a lung infection and severe oxygen
deprivation to her brain, which led to hera.”
Arnold furrowed his brows. “Tomorrow, I'll conduct a thorough brain examination to check for any irreversible damage to her nerves

Asher looked at his partner's clearly weary face, his deep eyes filled with tenderness. He gently caressed Arnold's face and said,
“You've worked hard these past few days.”
“Having you withmakes it bearable.” Arnold tugged at the corner of Asher’s jacket, his soft lips brushing against his ear and his
warm breath soothing him. “But... if you truly feel I've had a hard time, make sure to rewardwell when we get back.”
Asher’s eyes darkened, and though his expression remained normal, his hand on Arnold's waist tightened. It was so warm that it
made him shiver.
Arnold narrowed his fox-like eyes and smirked. ‘Hmph, Asher is pretending to be all serious. But he loves it!’
“I...” Ryan opened his dry lips, hesitating with a hint of guilt.
Seeing his turmoil, Justin spoke softly, “Wait until Grandpa and the otherse out before you go in to see Carrie. | believe the
person she most wants to see is you.”
Ryan felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his breathing becheavy.
“Doctor! Where is the doctor?!”
Suddenly, Gregory burst out the door, his face flushed with urgency. “Why isn’t my daughter speaking? What's going on?!”
As a doctor, Arnold had a sense of urgency and immediately rushed into the ward.
Justin and Bella followed closely behind. Ryan's heart clenched as he was about to enter. But at that moment, the ward door closed
coincidentally.
He felt a shiver run through him, pressing his palm against the cold door as he lowered his head. Anxiety wrecked his heart.
He could not bring himself to go in.
Despite his intense worry and impatience, he felt as if heavy chains were shackling his ankles, leaving him hesitant.
Just then, a warm hand gently rested on his shoulder.
With tears welling up in his eyes, Ryan turned and met Asher’sforting gaze.

“Asher...” Ryan's voice cout strained and slow.
“Your love for her is beyond anyone's opinion. It’s all up to the both of you.”
Asher’'s warm smile offered Ryan solace. “Go in and see her. | believe that even while she was in a deepa, she has always
been waiting for you.”
