He hung up.
He said, “Give me no more than three days. We’ll know everything–start to finish. For now, just stay with Anna, okay?”
Dawn nodded.
<i>Anna</i>… <i>she’ll </i>be <i>okay</i>, <i>right</i><i>? </i>
The moment they reached the hospital, Anna was rushed straight into surgery.
Dawn and Ethan waited outside, pacing back and forth without stopping.
The more time passed, the tighter the knot in her chest became.
“Why isn’t she out yet? It’s been almost two hours. What if something went wrong?”
Ethan studied her face and answered firmly, “She’ll be fine. She’ll be out soon.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Right now, Dawn needed certainty. She needed someone to say it–Anna would be okay.
Just then, the ER doors opened.
The doctor pulled off his mask and said gently, “She’s been brought back from the brink.

“But her will to live doesn’t seem very strong. The family will need to provide emotional support. If possible, please arrange a therapist. With patients in her condition, there’s always a risk they’ll try again.”
Dawn’s breath caught. It took a long moment before she could steady herself.
“Thank you, doctor.”
She turned to Ethan, her expression dazed. “A therapist … you know someone, right? We need the best.”
“I’ll handle it. Don’t worry about Dulce. Stay here with Anna for the next couple of days, okay?”
Ethan sighed softly, pain flickering in his eyes.
He pulled her into his arms.
“Dawn, no one wants something like this to happen. But since it did, all we can do is stay with her and guide her through it. There’s one thing you need to be clear about–this has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?”
Dawn took a deep breath.
The familiar scent on Ethan’s clothes seemed to ease the panic lodged in her chest.
She nodded. “I know.”

“Good. Go sit with her. I’ll grab you something to eat.”
Dawn curled her fingers. “Okay.”
Ethan waited until Anna was transferred to the ward before leaving.

The room was quiet, almost hollow. Dawn sat by the bed, watching Anna lie there, lifeless and pale, and felt an ache she couldn’t
name.
“Anna… if your folks saw you like this, how heartbroken would they be?”
Her tears fell again as she spoke.
She took Anna’s hand–it was still cold.
“Your mom loved you so much. She gave you everything. I used to envy you, you know. I thought you had all of a mother’s love. My mom… she passed away when I was little.
“Do you remember the first time we met? We fought over a bed and couldn’t stand each other. I don’t even know how two people like that became friends.”
As she talked, Dawn let out a small, shakyugh.
Looking back now, it felt like an old film—
Something you miss. Something you hold close.
But they were both moving forward. The past felt more like an old friend than who they were now.
Anna…
She used to be so bright. So open.
Free.
Not someone who’d be cornered by love to the point of giving up on herself.
Dawn held Anna’s hands between her own and pressed her forehead against them, praying with a devotion she’d never known before.
Maybe spirits were <i>too </i>abstract. Maybe God was too far away.
She’d never really believed in any of it.
But right now, she’d believe in anything-
As long as Anna woke up.
One night passed.
Anna still didn’t stir.
Leon somehow got wind of it and showed up at the hospital. Fortunately, Ethan had nned ahead and stationed <b>bodyguards </b><b>at </b>the entrance.

“He’s still here?”
Dawn’s gaze turned icy as she stood up,
Ethan quickly grabbed her arm. “Dawn-”
“Don’t stop me!”
She hadn’t slept all night. Her eyes were bloodshot. “Why did Anna end up like this? Because of him. And he still has the nerve toe?”
Dawn let out a coldugh, picked up a full cup of water from the table, and walked out.
Oliver started to panic.
“Mr. Jackson, should we stop Mrs. Jackson?”
Ethan nced toward the hospital bed and followed after her. “If she needs to vent, let her. As long as she doesn’t kill <b>him</b>, we don’t owe him anything.”
Oliver was speechless.
Fair point.
But considering who Leon was… this might get messy.
Dawn didn’t care. She strode up and dumped the entire cup of water over Leon. Her eyes were cold as steel. “Leon, listen carefully. From today on, every time you show your face, I’ll hit you. If you don’t value your life, try me.”
Leon tilted his head instinctively. Water dripped from his hair, sliding over his sharp, sculpted features.
The chill around him only seemed to deepen.
But Dawn wasn’t backing down. Her anger burned hotter than his.
“Get out.”
After a long pause, Leon finally looked back at her. His eyes were dark, frozen solid. His voice came out hoarse. “I want to see her”
