Riley watched the blurred figure)

She wanted to shout, to make hind stop, but her throat was burning with pain, making it impossible for her to utter a sound.

He said he would give her whatever she wanted, but what she wanted was for him to stay.

Don’t go!

Sebastian, don’t go!

Riley screamed in her heart, but in the end, that blurred figure walked out of her sight, and she slipped back into unconsciousness.

Outside the hospital room, Felix approached Sebastian.

“Mr. Torres, your injuries are severe. Are you sure you don’t want to stay in the hospital a few more days to rest?”

“No need,” Sebastian said flatly.

Although he had bled a lot at the time, it was mostly superficial wounds. Some areas had bone fractures, but they weren’t

serious.

“What about Gregory?” Sebastian asked coldly,

“We haven’t traced his whereabouts yet. But the others who participated with him in this arson and bombing incident have all been captured,” Felix said.

He was waiting for Sebastian’s decision.

“Don’t kill them. Just throw them into the jail and make sure they never get out,” Sebastian said.

“Yes, sir,” Felix knew Sebastian’s words meant these people would undoubtedly be thoroughly tortured before being handed over, probably left half–dead.

They dared to side with Gregory and almost killed Ms. Anderson!

It’s only natural Mr. Torres is this furious!

“Also, use every resource to find Gregory. Whoever catches him -dead or alive–I’ll pay a billion,” Sebastian said.

Felix froze.

Had Sebastian… really cut ties with his father completely? Even to the point of a fight to the death?

Before, no matter how hostile Sebastian and Gregory had been, the worst he’d do was lock him up, not kill him.

But now… this “dead or alive” order? That meant the Torres

family’s power structure could be completely shaken.

Was this… because of Riley?

Only then did Felix realize that after the breakup, Riley’s importance in Sebastian’s heart had only grown, even surpassing his every previous imagination.

After a long moment, he acknowledged the order. Then he asked, “What about Cynthia? How should we handle her?”

“After Riley wakes up, give her the information we’ve gathered. Let her decide how to deal with Cynthia,” Sebastian said.

“Yes, sir,” Felix acknowledged again.

Sebastian slightly turned his head, glanced at the now–closed hospital room door, and ultimately said nothing more, stepping

away.

Riley didn’t know how long she had slept again. When she could finally open her eyes, she saw Samuel and Lara.

Lara was so startled that she dropped the phone in her hand.

Forgetting to pick it up, she rushed forward to look at Riley. “Riley, you’re awake? Am I dreaming?”

“Lara…” Riley’s voice was dry and hoarse.

She used all her strength to speak, but the actual sound she made was very small.

“You’re really awake! I’ll get the doctor now!” Lara said

argently, even forgetting to press the nurse call button, instead36

“You’re finally awake.” Zane looked at Riley gently. “I’ve been waiting for you to wake up. And… Uncle is also waiting for you to wake up.”

“Uncle?” Riley was taken aback.

“Yes. Our uncle. Mom’s older brother,” Zane smiled. “Riley, we have other family.”

Riley felt somewhat dazed.

My grandparents and father always wanted to help Mom find her family, but they never could.

So why has it suddenly been found now?

An uncle? Is he really Mom’s brother?

Just then, the hospital room door was pushed open.

Doctors and nurses quickly walked in. Lara and Zane stepped aside first.

After the doctor performed a preliminary check on Riley, confirming her condition was stable, they explained her

condition to her.

Her throat had some swelling and blisters from inhaling smoke. Her right calf was fractured. She also had some superficial wounds on her body. Full recovery would take about two Alonths.

anticipated.

After the doctors left, Riley asked Zane and Lara, “How is Sebastian?”

Did Sebastian come to my room while I was unconscious? Were those words I heard really from him?

“He lost a lot of blood, and the wounds on his back are a bit more serious, but they didn’t damage the bones or tendons. Also, he’s already been discharged from the hospital,” Zane said.

“What?” Riley was stunned. “He was discharged?”

From the doctors, she already knew she had been unconscious for two days.

Two days? With injuries like that, how could Sebastian be discharged already?

“Don’t worry,” Lara said, as if seeing Riley’s concern. “The Torres family has professional medical staff who will continue his treatment. He won’t be in any trouble. But you! You were unconscious for two days before waking up. You have no idea how worried I was about you!”
