    me with La.


    But La seemed especially resistant to her. The sweet child from before vanishcu, and she suddenly reached out, repeatedly hitting Julia’s arm as she tried to struggle free from her embrace.


    Julia didn’t understand, but she still let go a little. “My sweet girl, what’s wrong?”


    She hadn’t known until she looked. And when she did, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. La’s face was full of distress, her cheeks flushed red from holding her breath.


    Julia froze. Without another word, she scooped La up and called out behind her for the family doctor toe take a look.


    But La struggled even harder, both of her arms stretched forward, iling wildly in the direction of the TV.


    Julia tried to hold her still, but La cried and kicked, tears streaming down as she pped at Julia’s leg.


    Julia couldn’t make sense of it, but Finn suddenly frowned.


    He followed the direction La was reaching toward. Then the scene on the screen changed. A face drainedpletely of color appeared.


    “The patient is currently unconscious and has been rushed to Aetheris Primal Hospital for emergency surgery.”


    “Tess!”


    The moment Finn recognized that face, he jumped to his feet.


    Julia gasped in shock, and La, as if echoing Finn’s shout, abruptly stopped crying.


    Julia rewound the broadcast and froze the frame on the patient’s face.


    When she saw it clearly, her eyes widened.


    <i>It’s </i><i>really </i><i>Tess</i><i>? </i><i>She’s </i><i>been </i><i>in </i><i>a </i><i>car </i>ident?!


    “Mom, I’m going to the hospital!”


    Finn sprinted toward the garage. Julia stood up too and hurriedly told the staff to get the driver and the car ready.


    The quiet estate that had been waiting for Tess instantly fell into chaos.


    Finn barely took a few minutes before he drove straight out of the gate.


    He hadn’t gone far when an unfamiliar number called. Though his mood was a mess, he answered anyway, almost on instinct.

    “Hello, are you a family member of Tess Ember? We tried contacting her parents but couldn’t reach them, so we’re calling you instead.”


    “You’re from the hospital?”


    Finn’s fingers tightened, and even his voice turned urgent.


    “Yes. Ms. Tess was in a car ident in the airport parking garage. She’s currently in surgery. Pleasee as soon as possible.”


    “I’m on my way.”


    Finn hung up and shot forward in his car.


    At this moment, there was no speed limit in his mind. When traffic police tried to stop him, he tossed a business card out the window and sped off.


    By the time he arrived, the surgery lights were still on.


    “How is she?”


    He rushed to the nurse’s station.


    The nurse shook her head. “I’m sorry, sir. They’re still in surgery. We don’t have details yet.”


    Finn braced himself against the counter, forcing himself to stand still.


    He paced anxiously, then suddenly stopped.


    Finn pressed his lips together, pulled out his phone, but hesitated before unlocking it.


    In the end, he still called Lyra and Raven.


    “Tess was in a car ident. We’re at Aetheris Primal Hospital, Building A, Third–floor operating room.”


    After saying only that, he hung up.


    Finn clenched his fist.


    He was being selfish. He wanted Tess to see him first when she woke up.


    But he also knew she would probably feel safer if Lyra and the others were there.


    Crash!


    The coffee cup Lyra holding fell to the floor.


    Before she could even ask what had happened, the line was already dead.


    Raven noticed Lyra’s face change and froze mid–ting. Her expression tightened. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

    The te in Raven’s hands hit the floor. She didn’t care about the shattered porcin and grabbed her phone. “I’ll drive. Hurry!”


    They rushed out of the house and headed straight for Aetheris Primal Hospital.


    Abel was the first to arrive at the hospital, dust clinging to his clothes from how fast he’de.


    He’d already been up and downstairs early that morning. Before he could even say a word to Lyra and Raven, he saw the shock on their faces and heard their urgent exchange.


    By the time he processed it, he didn’t even go back to change. He ran straight to the garage and drove like a madman, sting through red lights. Before the police could react, they were left staring at his exhaust.


    “Are you at Tess’s operating room?”


    Abel gripped the wheel with one hand and called Finn with the other.


    “Is the surgery over? How is she?”


    He didn’t even wait for Finn to answer the first question before asking the next.


    There was silence on the other end. Finn had a storm of mixed feelings about Abel prying for details up front.
