Sebastian’s demeanor shifted abruptly, his eyes turning as cold as steel. “I’ve already dispatched Foster to look into this matter,” he stated with an edge of irritation. There was an unsettling sense of déjà vu clawing at him; the man who had spiraled into chaos reminded him eerily of Fawks during his darkest moments. If his instincts were correct, then that old bastard was undoubtedly the puppet master behind this turmoil.

In the past, Sebastian had attempted to capture Lilian, but each effort had ended in failure. The nagging thought that this time it might indeed be him gnawed at his thoughts, making his resolve harden.

Eric, standing nearby, offered his support, “Just say the word if you need assistance. After all, she’s my cousin too.” His voice was steady, but a flicker of concern crossed his features.

Sebastian dismissed the offer with a slight shake of his head. “No need for that. We should receive news shortly.” His tone was final, leaving little room for argument.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Foster entered the room, his expression betraying a moment of hesitation upon spotting Merrick and Eric.

Sebastian, sensing the tension, waved his hand dismissively. “Go ahead and speak. It’s perfectly fine.”

This prompted Foster to clear his throat and begin, “It was indeed Nicholas. He visited the Grande Hotel yesterday and had a discussion with the head of the Radovian delegation. Unfortunately, the specifics of their conversation remain unknown.”

Sebastian scoffed, a cold laugh escaping his lips. “Does that even require investigation? They suffered a significant loss on the very first day of the conference; it’s only natural they would seek to reclaim their dignity. They must have turned to that old bastard for assistance.”

His mind raced with the implications. “He likely recognized Lilian and seized this conference as a chance to orchestrate her injury. If she were to be poisoned with neurotoxin, he would wield complete control over her. And considering how much I cherish Lilian, I would have no choice but to comply with his every demand.”

Merrick, who had been listening intently, interjected with urgency, “So, you’re suggesting that Lilian has indeed been poisoned?”

Sebastian shook his head, frustration evident in his features. “It’s still uncertain. What we do know is that she sustained an injury, and there’s a genuine concern that the toxin may have seeped into her bloodstream through that wound. As of now, all her vitals appear stable, but we cannot let our guard down.”

As night fell, a sleek black car sat parked across from the hospital, its presence almost menacing in the shadows.

The window of the vehicle slid down slowly, halting midway. From beneath the brim of a dark hat, a man’s icy gaze fixated on one of the hospital buildings, a sinister smile creeping across his lips. A newspaper lay spread out beside him, prominently displaying the photograph of Lilian.

With a deliberate motion, he retrieved a small flute and began to play. The notes floated into the night, distant yet sharp, resonating through the air as if they held the power to envelop the entire vicinity.

Inside the hospital room, Lilian stirred suddenly, her eyes vacant and unfocused. Compelled by the haunting melody, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and rose, instinctively following the sound that beckoned her from outside. The early hours of the morning were eerily quiet, the hallway devoid of any presence.

Only a slender figure clad in a striped hospital gown could be seen, moving slowly but purposefully, making her way out of the hospital.

In the car, Nicholas watched intently as the woman emerged across the street. A wicked grin spread across his face as he turned to the man dressed in black beside him. “Go. Subdue her and bring her to me.” His voice dripped with malice, a sense of triumph swirling within him as he anticipated the chaos that would ensue.
