sensed that something was wrong
upon seeing the presence of these bodyguards.

Dylan. He looked at Larissa and
asked, “Who is this?”
Larissa felt a sense of awkwardness, uncertain whether she should leave or stay. Dylan fell the same.
However, he couldn’t afford to worry

The assistant led them to an empty ward next door, and after ensuring there was no one

Mr. Rogers got injured.”
Dylan furrowed his brow and questioned. “Are you certain it was an accident?”

accident. However, the authenticity of his statement remains doubtful.”
Dylan further inquired, “Were there any other injuries besides Kevan?”

“And Ruby?”
“She’s also at the hotel.”

once.”
The assistant did not comment and remained silent.
“Let’s go and see Kevan,” Dylan said, signaling Larissa to follow him.

bed. Only the fluctuating lines on the bedside vital signs monitor indicated that he was still alive.
Dylan turned to the assistant and asked, “Did the doctor mention when he’d wake up?”

several days. The doctor is uncertain. After all the medical capabilities here are limited…”
