Dawn tentatively took two steps forward and said, “Maybe I’m luckier than you. But if I were really you, I wouldn’t let myself rot like this. And I definitely wouldn’t throw away my future for a man who doesn’t love me!”
She pointed at Austin. “Look at him.
“You’ve already tortured him to this point, and he still doesn’t love you.”
Sydney lowered her head, her foggy gazending on Austin’s pale face<i>. </i>
Yeah. She’d tortured him, and he still didn’t love her. Why didn’t he?
“Sydney, making a wrong choice isn’t the scariest thing. What’s scary is <i>never </i>regretting it. Even if you drag Austin down with you, so what? Will he love you then?”
Dawn’s eyes were red as she spoke firmly, “No! He’ll only hate you more! In his next life, he’ll wish he never met you!”
“Shut up! Shut up!”
Sydney snapped as if someone had stepped on her tail. Her defenses shattered instantly.
“You bitch! You don’t know anything! You don’t have the right to say that!
“Austin is mine–only mine! If I die, he’sing with me!”
Hatred swallowed her reason. Without realizing it, she let go of Austin, grabbed the belt from the floor, andshed out wildly at
Dawn.
Ethan yanked Dawn behind him and caught the belt in midair with one hand.
At the same time, bodyguards climbed in through the window and rushed to support Austin against the wall.
In seconds, Sydney was restrained.
“Let me go!”
She fought with all her strength, but two bodyguards locked her arms down. She couldn’t move at all.
Dawn’s face turned cold. She stepped forward and stared at Sydney’s hollow, lifeless face. “Look at yourself. You should’ve known. where this road would lead. It’s over, Sydney,”
This time, she wouldn’t leave any room for anyone to get hurt again.
At 2:00 a.m., the police finally found Sandra and Dulce. They were safe in a hotel, unharmed.
When Dawn heard the news, she rushed over. The moment she saw Sandra, she threw herself into Sandra’s arms, voice shaking.
“Mom… Thank God you’re fine.”
“What could’ve happened to us?”
Sandra was still shaken by the police presence. She nced at the officers by the door and whispered, “Wasn’t it your friend who

invited us to dinner? He said you arranged it. Dulce fell asleep, so your friend booked a room for us.”
The hospitality had been hard to refuse. Since she thought they all knew each other, she hadn’t questioned it.
Dawn exchanged nces with Ethan.
“Friend? Do you mean
Leon?”
“Yes.”
Sandra nodded. “I’ve met Mr. Graves before at events with your dad. He has a presence. Pretty impressive.”
Only then did she sense something odd. “You two… aren’t friends?”
“We just know each other. Not close.”
Since Sandra was safe, there was no need to say more and worry her.
Dawn squeezed Sandra’s shoulder. “Mom, if something like this ever happens again, call us first to confirm. What if it’s a bad person?”
“Ah… you’re right. I understand.”
Sandra sensed something was wrong, but she didn’t ask further.
On the drive back, Dawn finally told her about Sydney. Austin had been badly hurt and sent to the hospital.
“Is Austin having terrible luck this year?” Sandra sighed. “He just got out of the hospital, and now he’s right back in. Dawn, do you think we should find a fortune–teller to look into it?”
Dawn smiled helplessly. “Mom, let’s not get caught up in superstitions.”
Besides, even without this mess, Austin would still be in and out of the hospital.
Now that Sydney had been dealt with, Dawn could only hope things would finally settle down.
Sandra sighed and dropped the topic.
After dropping them off, Ethan and Dawn rushed straight to the hospital.
A bodyguard <i>stood </i>outside the ER. When he saw them, he hurried over respectfully. “Ms. Porter, the doctor came out earlier. Mr. Osborne’s condition is serious. It might affect his underlying illness.<b>” </b>
With his immune systempromised,plications could snowball, one after another.
Dawn frowned tightly. She leaned against Ethan just to stay upright.
“How long has he been inside?”
“An hour.”
The surgical light above the ER doors was still on. There was nothing they could do but wait.
The hospital was quiet at night. Only footsteps from the stairwell echoed now and then, beating against the silence.

Dawn sped her hands to her chest. She had never prayed this hard before, begging for Austin to be safe.
No one knew how much time had passed before the light finally went out.
