Lena felt like her body was being torn apart, the pain similar to roasting over a fire. Maybe this was how hell felt…
A bit of consciousness remained. She knew she leaned on a strong chest, feeling safe. A steady heartbeat echoed,
too.
In her daze, she smiled faintly. She wanted to rest, yet a voice kept echoing.
“Lena, don’t sleep! Don’t you dare sleep!”
“Mom…” she mumbled.
“Lena!”
Suddenly, a sense of warmth spread through her heart.
She had not experienced much warmth throughout her life, let alone someone being so concerned about her.
When Lina argued with the shop owner and forced him to give her money, she had felt contented.

“Lena, we’re almost there!” Chris placed her in the car’s back seat, speeding all the way. “We’re almost at the
hospital. Hold on!”
“I don’t want to hold on anymore…” Lena weakly managed to say.
Lena was utterly exhausted. All she yearned for was a serene slumber.
In her dreams, her mother wouldn’t commit such evil acts. Only there she felt cared for and cherished.
A tear trickled from the corner of Lena’s eye. She couldn’t hold back any more.

Chris paced outside the operating room, consumed by anxiety.
His phone rang, Zuko calling. “Chris, have you located Lena?”
Chris inhaled deeply but couldn’t respond, as if his voice had abandoned him.
After a lengthy pause, he managed to utter, “I found her.”
“Did you find her by heading west?” Zuko inquired.
“Yes.”
Silence lingered on the other end.
Chris realized that Zuko and Lina had advised him to continue heading west. They had previously encouraged him
to persist and not give up. Although he was determined to explore every option, discovering her had exceeded his
expectations.
Chris frowned, puzzled. “Zuko, how did you have this information…”
“It was Renee,” Zuko said, his tone urgent. “I’ll provide more details when you return. When do you plan to come
back?”
Chris’s voice was strained, his words a struggle. “Zuko, right now… we won’t be returning immediately.”

“Lena is still in surgery. When I located her, she was badly injured, barely holding on!”
Zuko was startled. “What caused this?”
“It’s a long story…” Chris’ voice sounded weary. “And I’m still unsure about who harmed her and the reasons behind
her injuries. We’ll need to wait until she’s out of danger before we can inquire about the specifics!”
“Understood. Focus on taking care of her for now.” Zuko gnashed his teeth. “I might already have an idea of who’s
responsible.”
When Renee called Lina, she shared a phone number. Zuko quickly had it investigated and found that the number
was often associated with Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn must be involved!
Zuko and Lina decided not to startle her. They agreed to observe the situation first. Lena and Chris should stay
outside of Centrolis for now, as it was probably the safest option.
