“Overseas…” Dominic paused, then asked, “Isabella, does your family have people like that?”
Isabella shook her head. “We don’t. At most, we have trusted contacts, people we know well and can rely on to handle things.”
Dominic murmured, “It seems people like this, raised overseas and deployed at critical moments, aren’t something an ordinary organization could have.”
Such individuals were not bound by simple financial ties. More likely, they had been groomed from a young age.
Dominic suddenly thought of Andy from the previous arson case. The situation was strikingly similar. There had been no useful information on him either, not even a traceable identity.
Isabella’s expression grew serious. “Dad has already spoken with the police. This case will be thoroughly investigated.”
Dominic nodded, though he understood that since he had already killed the gunman, there would have been no way to obtain any useful information, even if the man had survived.
With that in mind, he turned to Katherine. “Have you offended anyone recently?”
Katherine thought for a moment before replying, “If anyone… maybe Marcus, from that blind date the other day.”
Dominic shook his head. “Not him.”
“Then no one,” Katherine said.
She had always been a homebody and rarely involved herself in family affairs. In some ways, Isabella seemed more like the heiress of a powerful family, while Katherine came across as the girl next door.
Dominic smiled and took her hand. “Then don’t overthink it. There’s no need to worry. I have everything under control.”
“Mm.” Katherine gently squeezed his hand in return, met his gaze, and nodded.
Isabella’s eyes widened, equal parts anxious and annoyed. “You two… aren’t even trying to hide it anymore?”
As she spoke, she grabbed Dominic’s other hand in irritation.
Only then did he remember Isabella was still there. He coughed lightly, withdrew both hands, and changed the subject. “Right… what did the doctor say about my injuries?”
In the short time since waking, after drinking some water and eating a few spoonfuls of soup, he already felt much more energetic and no longer as weak as before.
At that, Isabella pressed the call button by his bedside.
Not long after, a doctor in a white coat entered. He was the same doctor who had performed Dominic’s surgery.
Seeing that Dominic was awake, the doctor looked astonished. “You… You’re awake?”
His reaction made both Isabella and Katherine tense immediately.
Isabella asked anxiously, “Doctor, is there something wrong with my husband?”
Dominic watched him closely, searching for an answer.
The doctor exclaimed, “In all my years of practice, this is the first time I’ve seen such rapid healing. At this rate, he’ll be discharged in at most three days… In fact, he could be discharged today!”
Katherine let out a long sigh of relief.
Isabella quickly added, “Doctor, please keep my husband’s condition confidential.”

The doctor nodded. “Rest assured.”
Dominic asked, “Doctor, are you saying I can be discharged today?”
