    Lucas followed her gaze and nced at his arm, as if just remembering the injury. bHe /bgave it a casual wave. “Just a scratch. It’s nothing–it doesn’t even hurt anymore.”

    He spoke lightly, as if it were no big deal; but Sloane couldn’t shake the guilt weighing on her heart.

    “I’m sorry… I don’t even know what came over me…” Sloane bit her lower lip, her eyes full of

    remorse.

    Lucas cut her off with a gentle smile. “It’s just a small wound. You really don’t need to worry

    acupuncture and about it. If you really feel bad, then get better soon and help me with the detox.”

    He said it sincerely, with an unmistakable tenderness in his gaze.

    Sloane parted her lips, about to isay /imore–just then, a knock came at the door.

    Lucas stood and went to open it; it was Benjamin.

    Lucas filled him in on everything that had happened the night before–how Sloane had spiked ia /ifever after going to bed hungry.

    Benjamin stepped into the room, and when he saw Sloane awake, a warm smile appeared on his face. “Ms. Rivers, how are you feeling?b” /b

    Sloane returned the smile. “Dr. Benjamin, much better. Thank you.”

    Benjamin gave her a quick examination, then reminded her of a few precautions. His gaze thennded on the wound on Lucas’s arm, and his expression shifted to surprise. “Lucas, what happened ito /iyour hand?”

    Lucas nced down at the injury and brushed it off. “I bumped it by ident.”

    Benjamin could tell at once it was a bite mark, but since Lucas clearly didn’t want to talk about it, he didn’t press. He just left him with a few bottles of medicine.

    Worried that Sloane might feel awkward with him lingering around, Lucas called for Nora. “Nora, I’ll bleave /bher in your hands.”

    Nora had been working at Lucas‘ residence for many years–meticulous, bdependable/bb, /bband /bfiercely loyal.

    She immediately caught on to what Lucas was thinking and nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, sir. I’ll take perfect care of Ms. Rivers.”

    Only then did Lucas feel at ease leaving for the office. The moment he opened the door, Andrew was already waiting for him.

    “Talk. What did you find?” Lucas’s voice was low, authoritative, brooking no refusal. He strode to his desk and sat down; the sharp edge in his eyes made Andrew instinctively more cautious.

    Andrew quickly reported the findings. “Sir, one of the factions that attacked Ms. Rivers belongs to a dark force secretly raised by the Hazel family. They were ordered to stop the miracle doctor from saving rk at all costs. The Hazel family and the Kent family have been locked in a silent war for years—they’re the ones who least want rk to survive.”

    He nced up at Lucas, then continued carefully, “As for the other faction… we haven’t identified them yet.”

    unearthed.” Lucas’s expression turned ice–cold; a bone–deep chill radiated from him, his entire presence exuding danger. “Keep digging. No matter the cost, I want that second group

    Andrew nodded frantically, a sheen of cold sweat forming on his brow. “Yes, sir! I’ve already sent more people to investigate. We should have answers soon.”

    Lucas tapped his fingers slowly against the desk; the rhythm was unhurried, yet each tapnded like a hammer on Andrew’s chest. “As for the Hazel family–whatever their reason, the moment theyid a hand on someone of mine, they signed their death warrant.”

    Andrew asked cautiously, “Sir, what do you n to do?”

    Lucas’s lips curved into a chilling smile, devoid iof /iwarmth. “I want everything they’ve tried to hide over the years dug up, especially anything connected to those illegal drugs. Every single lead, don’t leave a single ione /ibehind,”

    There was a deadly glint in his eyes, as if he were ready to crush the Hazel family the very next

    moment.

    “Yes, sir.” Andrew bowed his head and turned to leave.

    “Wait.”
