The other restorers benefited from the influx and worked seamlessly with Jade, helping her manage the lighter load.

One afternoon, as Jade exited the lab, a colleague pulled her aside with a look of concern.

“Jade, have you heard the news about Professor Edward Mitchell?”

Jade paused mid-motion while removing her gloves and looked up.

“What happened to my Master?”

Her colleague leaned in and whispered the news.

“I heard his core international project was hijacked by an unknown firm. He had a stroke from the shock and is in the ICU at General Hospital. Anthony is out of town and can’t get back, so Mrs. Mitchell is there alone.”

Every drop of blood drained from Jade’s face in an instant.

Without a second thought, she threw her gear aside and sprinted toward the parking lot.

Seeing her reaction, her colleague chased after her, sounding panicked.

“Jade! Jade, slow down! Don’t panic!”

By the time they reached the sidewalk, Jade was already gone.

Jade drove like a madwoman until she reached General Hospital,

After confirming Edward was stable, she let out a jagged sigh of relief and followed the nurse to his room.

The door was slightly ajar, and the sound of a heated conversation drifted out into the hall.

“That project theft was definitely a Walter hit job You worked for a year on that rating, and they just gutted you. After everything we did for them, they show zero mercy!”

Boom.

Jade stood paralyzed in the hallway as if she’d been struck by lightning, her fingers turning ice-cold.

The Walter family?

“We knew the risks when we decided to help Jade escape. It’s just business. If we miss this rating, we’ll try again next year.”

“We knew, but I didn’t think they’d be this ruthless. No wonder Jade wants out-living with such cold-blooded monsters is impossible.”

“Just don’t tell Jade. It’s already done. There’s no point in making her carry the guilt of our misfortune.”

“I understand. Helping her was a choice I made, and I will pay whatever price is necessary without regret.”

By the time they finished, Jade’s face was soaked with silent tears.

She clapped her hands over her mouth and bolted to the stairwell, desperate to muffle her sobs.

How could this be happening?

Why would the Walte

target an innocent man’s career just to get to her?

Edward was the kindest man she knew; for them to drive him to a stroke meant they had destroyed something he cherished.

And every bit of that destruction was her fault…

Jade knew that crying changed nothing; it was a luxury she couldn’t afford right now.

She waited in the stairwell until her breathing settled, then walked to the ward door and knocked.

Rory’s voice immediately answered from within

“Come in.

Jade pushed the door open, trying her best to put on a mask of normalcy.

But seeing Edward looking so gaunt and fragile broke her composure, and her instantly

eyes

welled up

Edward and Rory were startled by her presence and exchanged a quick, worried glance.

Rory stood up and took Jade’s hand, her voice soft and maternal.
