Chapter 10

Ophelia spoke up. “Calista is probably still angry about what happened last time. I’m sorry, Lucien. My presence is what drove you two to this point. Maybe I should transfer to one of the branch offices.”

Lucien remained silent, wondering if Calista was angry because he hadn’t kept his promise to take her to Eldoria.

That time, it was just due to exceptional circumstances, as there was an emergency. The branch office deputy CEO had been caught embezzling, evading taxes, and falsifying records. He had no idea how they’d managed to fool the main office’s audits for so long.

While the police were already pursuing the case, Fenwick Group’s headquarters had become embroiled in the case. He’d been swamped these past few days and naturally hadn’t had time to deal

“This has nothing to do with you.”

her.

Lucien looked down at the elegant velvet box in his hands, which held a ruby ri

ring. He closed the box. “Go home. I’ll handle this.”

Ophelia wanted to say more since she wanted to stay, but she held back. She’d been by Lucien’s side for years, not just as his capable assistant, but as the only person who truly understood him.

Just as Ophelia was about to leave, a nurse burst in, exclaiming, “Sir, something’s wrong! The woman downstairs has collapsed!”

Before she had even finished speaking, Lucien had already strode out, creating a gust of wind in his wake. By the time Ophelia caught up, he was already in the elevator.

At the same time, Alexander Lester was coming down from another floor, having just finished a medical conference. When he saw a woman collapsed in the rain, he didn’t hesitate and rushed forward to scoop her up.

Alexander was stunned when he saw the woman’s face clearly. He couldn’t believe it was her.

Half a month ago, she’d been the most unusual patient from the highway pile–up. She was the only one who’d had no family visits during her two–week stay at the hospital.

He vaguely remembered her on the operating table. When they told her that they couldn’t reach her husband, her eyes filled with complete despair, and he had been deeply affected by them.

By the time Lucien arrived downstairs, it was too late. Someone had already carried Calista away.

If he had looked closer, he would have seen a pool of blood where she’d been kneeling. But within moments, the heavy rain had washed

it clean.

Lucien gave off an unmistakable sense of threat, the black velvet box clutched tightly in his hand. The veins in his hands were bulging.

He seemed to be seething with rage as his eyes fixed on the retreating figure. His presence was so intimidating that people walking by gave him a wide berth, not daring to approach.

Alexander brought Calista to the emergency room for examination. Fortunately, nothing was seriously wrong. Calista simply had low blood sugar and was physically weak. It was the rain that finally pushed her over the edge, making her collapse.

Still, he wondered why she had been kneeling in the rain. What had happened to her?

A colleague came out with Calista’s CT report. “The patient’s uterine wall has reopened at the site where it was previously healing. We’ve managed to stop the bleeding for now.”

“Dr. Lester, what’s your relationship with this woman? You signed off on her surgery last time and paid off most of her medical bills. Now you’ve saved her life again. Don’t tell me that you two know each other.”
