It took Meryl quite a while to calm Anne down. 

“I won’t go to him,” Anne said, her voice resolute. “Let’s see how 

long he can hold out!” 

Meryl nodded in agreement. “Focus on your recovery. Heal your 

legs and rest well. Chandler just told me he heard Bella crying 

energetically, so she’s likely healthy. There’s no need to worry.” 

For now, whoever made the first move would be at a 

disadvantage. Dante had taken the baby solely to pressure Anne into yielding. 

Meryl left Yancey with instructions to take good care of Anne, before heading back to her orchestra. 

However, just as she reached the entrance, she was stopped by 

Philip. 

Philip’s eyes were red, and his voice trembled as he pleaded. “Ms. Stone, please! You must save Mr. Powell! He’s on the verge of 

death!” 

Meryl froze in shock. “Felix? What’s happened to him now?” she 

wondered.

She couldn’t help but recall that fateful night when Felix had orchestrated events to ruin her relationship with Chandler, using 

Rachel as a pawn. The memory of their heated argument outside 

the hotel was still vivid. 

That night, Felix had gone so far as to pull out a dagger and 

demand she stab him. 

“Meryl really couldn’t imagine what had happened to Felix to make Philip, a grown man, cry like that. 

Acting on impulse or perhaps a sense of responsibility, she followed Philip through a back entrance into Powell. 

They moved quietly, careful not to alert anyone in the household. 

But the moment Meryl stepped into the room, she was stunned. 

The air was thick with the metallic scent of blood. Felix lay on the bed, his eyes tightly shut. 

His lips were cracked and dry, and though he was wrapped in a thick blanket, his body trembled uncontrollably. He looked even worse than when he’d been shot in the shoulder. 

Meryl frowned deeply. “Why isn’t he in a hospital?” 

Philip shook his head. “Mr. Powell forbade me from taking him there!”

“What grudge does this stubborn man hold against hospitals?” 

she wondered. 

The room was already stocked with medical supplies. Meryl approached the bed and lifted the blanket. 

The underside of the blanket was soaked in blood. 

Gently pulling back Felix’s clothing, her eyes widened in shock. 

The wound was on his abdomen. It was a sharp, clean cut about two centimeters deep and the length of a finger. 

Judging by the dark, crusted blood mixed with fresh bleeding, the injury was at least a night old. 

The blood had seeped through the sheets in layers, staining them so thoroughly that their original color was indiscernible. 

Meryl immediately set to work, attempting to stop the bleeding. But the wound was too large; she could only manage to slow it 

down. 

Felix looked as if he had a high fever and was unconscious. If not treated carefully, it could lead to an infection!
