Clara didn’t pause heading straight for the elegance

The metal doors slowly opened and she and Ryan Walker stepped in side by side, never once looking at Edhan again.

Erhan mood there, his chest heaving as if a raging fire was burning inside him.

He stared intently at his reflection in the elevator doon, his face twisted

Clara’s complete indifference coupled with Ryan’s blatant protectiveness, stabbed ar Ethan’s hear

He wanted to just walk away, but a voice inside his head kept telling him to follow, to see wier Clara and Ryan

After a moment, he strode forward heading toward the desmon

Clara didn’t bother to check if Ethan was flowing the and Ryan drove to the hospital

As they got out of the can a Black Bentley pulled into the parking lot and stopped beside them

Ryan glanced back at Ethem, a sis face and hurried offer be

Ethan’s eyes burned with fury. He gained his teach and stepped into the elevator before the doors closed

When the elevator doors opened on the hospital floot, the strong smell of disinfectant hit them mined with a faint medicinal odon

The two men both radiating confidence and power drew attention, and several people tumed to look

Ignoring the stares. Clara went straight to the information desk to ask if Eric Anderson was on duty today.

The nurse at the information desk clearly knew about Eric being taken in for questioning A flicker of surprise crossed her face befione she simply stated that Eric wasn’t seeing patients for the time being

Clara glanced back at Ryan, who gave a subtle nod

“I saw Eric’s car in the parking garage downstairs. He should still be in the police affairs office. Let’s head over there.”

Clara and Ryan arrived at the police affairs office. Through the glass window in the door, they could clearly see Eric sitting on a bench inside, his hands resting on his knees, his expression calm.

Ethan trailed behind them, and upon seeing the scene, he scoffedd, “I wonder if he’s being investigated for working with you to deceive

Clara looked up, her eyes icy as she fixed him with a stare “Ethan, I didn’t expect you to be helpful but until things are clear, please just keep quiet.”

The arrival of the trio drew the attention of the hospital security, who approached, ready to usher them away.

But before he could speak, Ryan produced a badge from his inside coat pocket, flipped it open, and showed it to the officer

We have business with him. Your cooperation would be appreciated.”

The security officer’s expression shifted. He glanced at Clara and Ethan before unlocking the door

Clara glanced at Ryan Walker, curious. She had no idea what kind of ID he’d flashed, but it was enough to bypass the hospital director and get them into the security office.

Eric’s eyes widened slightly when he saw Clara and Ryan enter.

“What exactly happened? Why are you.-”

“I have a general idea. I’m just here to confirm: did Daniel Lee frame you?” Ryan asked.

Eric nodded at Ryan’s question, then looked at Clara and Ethan.

“This morning, I was in my office compiling your and Ethan’s physical data, preparing to create a detailed IVF plan tailored to your specific needs.”

“Unexpectedly, Daniel suddenly arrived with several police officers and presented a so–called ‘illegal medical data transfer record,‘ accusing me of privately transmitting the hospital’s core medical data overseas.”

“I never did anything like that! That record must be a fabrication!”

“Okay, don’t worry. We believe you.”

Ryan patted Eric on the shoulder and turned to Clara.“I’m going to the IT department to see if I can get control of their servers and find evidence of Daniel’s fabricated data.”

Clara nodded.“Okay, be careful.”

She didn’t know what Ryan had shown the security officers, but whatever it was, it made this possible for Ryan alone.

“I will.”

Ryan nodded, glanced at Ethan, shook his head, and turned to leave.

Ethan felt stung by that look. He was about to explode when he heard Eric say, “Ms. Bennett, Daniel Lee tampered with your medical report. The people behind him don’t seem to want you and Mr. Carter to have another child.”

Hearing this, a flash of shock crossed Ethan’s eyes.“You mean Clara’s medical report was fake?”

Eric looked ashamed.“I didn’t catch it in time. I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“That’s impossible!”

Ethan shook his head, stepping back.“With the hospital’s current system, test results are uploaded to the app as soon as they’re available. There’s no way anyone could tamper with them.”

He seemed to realize something, turning to Clara with a mocking expression.“Did you two plan this all along? Put on this whole act to make me believe the test results were fake, so you could inherit the Bennett family’s shares without a hitch?”

“Clara, you really thought this through, didn’t you?”

Although Eric had known about Clara and Ryan’s plan for a while, and was willing to cooperate due to the matter of national security. Even knowing what he did, Ethan’s blatant distrust of Clara still managed to surprise Ryan, and he almost spoke up to explain.

“Mr. Carter, you’ve really got it all wrong…”

“Just ignore him. Once everything comes to light, he’ll know whether the health report is real or not,” Clara said.

Clara cut him off.“Dr. Anderson, think carefully. Is there anything you might have overlooked?”

“Like, has Daniel Lee been acting strangely lately? Or is there anyone in the IT department he’s been particularly close to?”

Eric lowered his head, deep in thought, his brow furrowed as he tried to recall recent events. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he remembered something.

“That’s right, three days ago, Daniel Lee specifically sought out Clark, the head of the IT department, saying he needed to retrieve some old medical data from a few years ago. He even pulled Clark into his office for a long chat.”

“At the time, I thought it was a little odd because the data didn’t involve any core secrets. According to procedure, he could have just had one of his nurses apply for it. There was no need for him to go to Clark personally.”

“Now that I think about it, he was probably plotting to frame me back then, colluding with Clark!”

“Thank you,” Clara said.

Hearing this, Clara immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Ryan Walker, telling him about it.

Meanwhile, in the hospital’s IT department, Ryan Walker stood in front of the server, rapidly working on the computer.

After receiving Clara’s message, he quickly pulled up all the server access logs from the past three days.

Just then, Daniel, having received the message, rushed over. Seeing Ryan operating the server, his expression changed instantly, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

“Who are you? What gives you the right to investigate our hospital’s data?”

“Breaking into the hospital’s IT department and interfering with our normal work, do you know that’s illegal? I advise you to leave with your people immediately, or I’ll call the police!”

Ryan slowly turned around, his eyes as cold as ice as he looked directly at Daniel. Suddenly, he smiled and pulled out the badge from

before.

“See this?”

“I’m conducting a legitimate investigation. You can choose to file a complaint against me, but don’t interfere with me.”

Upon seeing the badge in Ryan’s hand, Daniel was shocked.

This was a U.S. Department of Defense’s highest–level investigation credential!

Who the hell was this guy?

Seeing that Daniel was silent, Ryan scoffed.“Daniel Lee, you’re suspected of fabricating evidence and framing a colleague. Do you have anything to explain?”

Daniel’s face was ghastly, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth, forced himself to remain calm, and retorted, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“I didn’t frame Eric Anderson. That illegal transmission record is real. It was reported by a colleague in the IT department after they discovered it!”

“Whether it’s real or not, we’ll find out with a quick check.”

Ryan scoffed, shot him a deep look, then turned back to the keyboard, resuming his work.

It didn’t take long for him to discover that three days prior, Director Clark’s account had logged into the core server, not only altering some of the original medical records but also fabricating a false illegal transfer log.

“There’s a clear operation time and IP address, all pointing back to your office computer. Anything you want to say about that?”

As Ryan’s words landed, Daniel’s entire body went limp. His legs felt like lead, and he nearly collapsed.

“I… I…”

A thousand thoughts raced through Daniel’s mind in an instant. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “I didn’t really want to frame Eric. It was the Hayes family. The Hayes family made me do it!”

“Eric was getting in the way of the Hayes family’s business, so they told me to find an excuse to transfer him so they could move forward.”

“Once it was all over, I was going to clear Eric’s name and restore his reputation.”

Ryan caught sight of two figures outside the IT department with a sidelong glance. The corners of his mouth quirked up.“Then why

you tell Ime, what was Eric getting in the way of?”

don’t

“The Hayes family… they knew that Mr. Carter from Carter Group and his wife were doing in–vitro fertilization at our hospital.

Th–they wanted to know if there was anything fishy going on.”

“And?”

Ryan pressed, gently coaxing him.

“S–so, they wanted me to become their point person, to figure out what was really going on,”

Daniel stammered, clearly terrified.“They seemed to think Mrs. Carter wasn’t really serious about having a baby.”

Outside the room, hearing this, Ethan chuckled humorlessly and turned to Clara.“See? Even strangers don’t believe you’d want another

child with me, Clara…”

Before he could finish, Daniel blurted out, “They also told me to falsify Mrs. Carter’s medical reports, to create distrust between Mr.

Carter and her…”

Ethan didn’t hear the rest of what Daniel said. He looked at Clara in disbelief, glancing from her to the information room.

Clara offered a smile, tinged with both mockery and sorrow.

“So, Ethan, that’s how fragile our relationship looks to outsiders. This little trick is all it takes to drive a wedge between us.”

“You think I don’t really want to save Lucas, but what about you?”

“You just want to use this opportunity to smooth things over between us, to get me to stop pushing for a divorce, at least for now.”

Clara tilted her head, her gaze filled with biting irony as she looked at Ethan.

“Because you don’t love me, you don’t really care about Lucas either. You even doubted if he was your child, didn’t you?”

Ethan’s eyes widened, his throat tightening. He tried to speak, but Clara continued, “Did you think I didn’t know anything during those seven years with the Carter family?”

“Actually, I knew everything. I was just waiting, waiting for the day you’d turn around and see me. But did you ever look back at me?”

“You keep saying you love me, begging me not to divorce you, but what have you actually done?”

“Even Lucas knows that I don’t really matter to you, so he keeps hurting me. He knows you’ll never really punish him for any of it.”

Ethan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He remembered how, when he first saw the test results, his immediate thought was that Clara had

cheated and contracted some disease. He hadn’t even considered that there might be something wrong with the report itself.

Even when he saw Ryan and Clara leaving her apartment together, his first instinct was to assume Ryan was the man she was having an affair with.

A flicker of regret crossed Ethan’s face. He spoke, his voice hoarse, “Clara, I’m so sorry… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you without knowing the full story. I shouldn’t have said those hurtful things to you. I shouldn’t have…”

Clara shot Ethan a look, cutting him off mid–sentence with her cold gaze.

She stared at him, her eyes devoid of any emotion, her voice laced with weariness.“Ethan, you’ve never trusted me. I don’t need your apology.”

“Over the years, your misunderstandings and the hurt you’ve caused me have been countless.”

With that, she turned and walked away, not sparing him another glance.

If it weren’t for the need to catch Natalie, she would have told him right then and there that she wanted nothing to do with him

anymore.

Ethan watched her retreating figure, his heart feeling as though it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe.

The door to the information room opened, and Ryan emerged. He clapped Ethan on the arm, his tone mocking.“Consider this even for now, but if you ever accuse me wrongly again, I won’t let it slide so easily.”

Apex.

The blinds in the top–floor office were drawn tight, leaving only a narrow slit through which a sliver of pale daylight could seep in.

Natalie sat in front of her desk, staring at the laptop screen. A progress bar displaying the decryption of a set of encrypted data filled the screen, the red numbers slowly climbing.

She was afraid that the data might have the same issues as before, so she didn’t act immediately upon receiving it.

After waiting for days without any sign of the National Security Agency, Natalie finally felt safe enough to examine the data.

Just then, a crisp notification chimed, signaling the completion of the decompression. Natalie’s eyes lit up instantly. She rapidly scrolled through the data, verifying each parameter. With every confirmation, the smile on her face grew wider.

When the last set of critical data showed no errors, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

“Finally got it.”

This data was different from what she’d previously received from Clara, but it aligned more closely with her understanding of the Blade project data.

“Now, it doesn’t matter if Clara returns to Nova AL.”

She murmured, a glint in her eyes as she thought of Clara. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, beginning to alter the data’s original IP

address.

Soon, the IP address that originally pointed to her secret server was successfully replaced with Clara’s personal computer address.

Watching the new address flicker on the screen, a dark glint flashed in Natalie’s eyes.

“Clara, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourself for getting rid of my baby.”

She scoffed and clicked the “Send” button.

The data transfer progress bar slowly advanced. When the “Successfully Sent” notification popped up, Natalie leaned back in her chair, throwing her head back and laughing loudly, the sound echoing in the empty office.

“Now, even if the National Security Agency investigates, they’ll only trace it back to Clara sending the data overseas.”

She could almost picture Clara’s disheveled state as she was investigated by the National Security Agency, unable to defend herself.

“This way, I’ve not only completed the mission, but I’ve also managed to frame Clara.”

Meanwhile, in the parking lot below the hospital, Ryan Walker and Clara Bennett got into the car together.

Ryan’s phone vibrated, and a look of elation crossed his face as he pulled it out.

A coded message popped up on the screen, along with a surveillance video clip.

Ryan’s eyes quickly scanned the message, his brow furrowing slightly before smoothing out, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

Clara asked, fastening her seatbelt, noticing the expression on Ryan’s face.

He turned to Clara, “Natalie Parker has obtained the stolen data. The surveillance captured the entire process of her verifying the data. The evidence is solid. We can proceed with the arrest now.”

Hearing this, Clara’s face lit up with joy. Her tense body instantly relaxed, and the enormous weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.

She leaned back in her seat and let out a long sigh of relief, “Finally, I don’t have to keep up the act with Ethan anymore.”

Today at the hospital, she had to fight the urge to slap Ethan across the face more than once.

Ryan chuckled, noticing the change in Clara.“It’s been rough, I know. Thanks for sticking it out.”

He grabbed his phone and quickly dialed his contact at the National Security Agency.

“This is Ryan Walker. We have irrefutable evidence that our target, Natalie Parker, stole classified data. I’m requesting immediate authorization for her arrest.”
