Luna rushed forward, grabbing the doctor’s wrist with urgency and anxiety etched all over her face. “What do you mean she can’t hold on? She just bit her tongue, that’s all,” she said, her eyes scanning the critical condition notice and widening in shock.

‘A critical condition notice? What exactly happened to Sophia?‘ she wondered.

“Speak up! What’s happened to her?” Luna pressed for an answer.

The doctor glanced toward Oliver hesitantly and noticed his tight frown. He realized too late that he might have misspoken. But the situation was indeed dire, and he was hesitant to operate without proper consent. “Mr. Clark, um…”

Before the doctor could finish, Luna whirled around and gripped Oliver’s arm, a tremble in her voice. “Don’t hide things from me.”

Oliver glanced once at the emergency room and asked gravely, “Didn’t you know her condition when she went abroad to recuperate five years ago?”

Luna was momentarily taken aback, her mind racing as she pieced things together.

Sophia had indeed gone abroad for treatment five years ago, but when Luna visited her, Sophia had downplayed her condition, claiming it was only a small tumor on her stomach and that the surgery was a success. ‘Could Sophia have lied to me?‘ Luna wondered.

“I didn’t know. She’s always downplayed everything, only sharing good news with me, never her worries. Mr. Clark, please, can you tell me what’s really going on?” said Luna.

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway, and Amanda, Oliver’s personal physician, rushed over. “How is Sophia? Is she alright!” she asked, gasping for air, her concern for Sophia palpable.

Oliver kept it brief, simply stating, “Do everything you can to save her. I need her alive.”

Understanding the gravity of Sophia’s condition, Amanda exchanged a quick glance with the other doctor before both hurried into the emergency room.

Unwilling to let go without an answer, Luna clung to Oliver’s arm, her eyes brimming with tears. “What’s wrong with Sophia?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Oliver shot her a glance and said evenly, “Five years ago, she got badly hurt saving Jason. She damaged her heart. For specifics, you should ask her when she wakes up.”

Luna wanted to press more, but at that moment, Oliver’s phone rang. “Excuse me, I need to take this call,” he said.

Watching Oliver leave, Luna stumbled back, steadying herself against the wall. What has Sophia been through all these years? And Jason, that bastard. What has he done to her?‘ she murmured inwardly.

Oliver stepped onto the balcony, pulled out his phone, and looked down to see a call from Roger. After a moment of hesitation, he swiped to answer. “Roger, what’s up?”

Roger was the Watson Group head, with deep ties to Oliver. Had it not been for Roger’s help, Oliver and his mother would have met unfortunate ends abroad.

“What else would I be calling about? Oliver, have you found Kelly?” asked Roger.

As a top–tier power in Clumond City, the Watson family was deeply respected and esteemed by other prominent families. Someone like Roger, who wielded immense power and wealth that could rival nations, should have enjoyed boundless glory. Yet beneath all, a family secret was hidden from the public eye. Roger’s biological daughter had been switched at birth, and her whereabouts had been unknown ever

since.

“I’m still investigating. You know the trail is cold after all these years. So far, I’ve only established that she ended up in Cester City. But rest assured. I’ve put out feelers at all major hospitals, police stations, and even body donation organizations here. The moment they have DNA that matches yours, they’ll notify me,” said Oliver.

Roger listened and sighed, a tinge of sorrow in his voice. “I’m getting old. All I want is to see my poor daughter once before I pass.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll do everything in my power to find Kelly for you,” replied Oliver.

Meanwhile, in the Wilson family’s ICU, Alison had just been resuscitated.

Benjamin and Camila were discussing her continued treatment plan with the doctor, and Ada was alone in the room. Noticing no one else was around, she stealthily reached for Alison’s oxygen mask.
