Raymond’s voice was unusually heavy. “Riley, where are you now? You need to come back immediately. Dad… Dad was in a car accident. He’s in emergency surgery.”
“What did you say?” Riley’s voice shot up, the color draining from her face in an instant.
Sebastian caught the shift in her demeanor immediately. He set down his book and sat up. his brow furrowed with concern.
“I’m coming right now!” Riley said into the phone, not even pausing to ask for details before hanging up.
“What happened?” Sebastian steadied her trembling frame.
Riley gripped his arm tightly, looking up at him with rare panic in her eyes. “My father’s been in an accident. He’s in the hospital now. Sebastian, I need to go back immediately.”
“Stay calm.” He held her cold hands firmly. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and gave the order. “Get the private jet ready. Destination Nexopolis. Wheels up in thirty minutes.”
They barely had time to pack. They informed Colin and the others briefly. The moment Colin heard about it, his joking manner evaporated.
Justin stepped forward. “Which hospital in Nexopolis? I’ll have our top neurology and surgical specialists head over immediately.”
Riley thanked him, “I appreciate it, Justin. I don’t know the details yet. Once I get there, if I need anything, I’ll call you.”
Audrey came over and gave Riley a gentle hug. “Try not to worry too much. Your father will pull through. He’s a good man.”
After saying goodbye, Riley and Sebastian boarded the waiting private jet.
By that afternoon, the plane touched down at Nexopolis’s private airport. They raced straight to the hospital’s VIP ward wing.
At the end of the hallway, the operating room doors were closed. The red sign above them read “In Surgery.”
Raymond waited outside, his face etched with tension.
On a bench nearby sat Melissa, sobbing and disheveled, her makeup smeared. She looked

utterly wretched.
Riley pushed down the emotions roiling inside her and hurried to Raymond. “What happened? Why was Dad in an accident?”

Raymond opened his mouth to speak, but Melissa beat him to it. Wailing, she cried out, “It’s my fault… Your father… He was trying to save me!”
It turned out that even after Riley and Sebastian left for the island, Melissa hadn’t given up on mending her relationship with Zavier. She showed up in his life almost daily, using every trick she could think of. First, she tried sweet words and nostalgia. When that failed, she delivered homemade meals and played the devoted wife.
When Zavier’s rejections grew sharper, she resorted to dramatic theatrics-crying at the company entrance or threatening to starve herself. It drove Zavier up the wall.
Today’s tragedy started with something even more absurd.
That afternoon, Zavier was about to leave work. Melissa, having somehow learned his schedule, waited in the parking garage. The moment he opened his car door, she slipped into the passenger seat.
“I just wanted to know where Riley and that Torres boy went?” she said, pretending to care about their daughter.
Zavier started the engine, his tone icy. “That’s none of your business. Don’t waste your time. This marriage is over.”
“Over? Do you have to be so cruel?” Melissa erupted in the confined space. “I gave you children. I ran this household for decades! How can you just throw it all away?”
The screeching sent a sharp pain through Zavier’s temples. He slammed the brakes and pulled over. Turning to her, his eyes were cold and final. “Get out. Don’t cause a scene in my car.”
That only pushed Melissa further over the edge. She threw open the door and stormed out onto the busy road. Standing amid traffic, she pointed at the rushing cars and screamed at him, “Is this what it takes for you to forgive me? Only if I die?”
Tears streaming, she stared at the man in the car. “You’ve changed… You were never this heartless before…”
Then, to his horror, she turned and lunged straight into oncoming traffic.
