Sharon paused for a moment, then slowly realized what Thomas meant.
She said, “I’ll answer that question once you’re out.”
Thomas nodded. “Alright.” Then he closed his eyes again.
Half an hour later, the quiet corridor was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Sharon thought it was Wendy arriving. She looked up and saw a tall, upright figure striding toward her.
“Xavier?” Sharon blinked in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
Her phone had been left behind in the car. She had only managed to call Wendy and hadn’t told Xavier. Yet he had arrived even before Wendy.
Had Wendy called him?
Xavier’s handsome face was tense. “Sharon, are you alright?”
Sharon shook her head. “I’m fine. Just some superficial injuries.”
His gaze fell on the cuts on her fingers, and his expression darkened slightly.
“Sharon, your hand is injured. It needs immediate disinfection and treatment.”
Only then did Sharon remember that her precious hands-her lifeline as a violinist— had been cut by glass shards while saving Thomas. She hesitated.
Xavier’s eyes narrowed, reading her thoughts. He said gently, “Sharon, I’m here. Don’t worry about a thing. I’ll take care of anything concerning Thomas. You just go.”
Sharon thought for a moment, then nodded. She trusted him.
While her hands were being disinfected and bandaged, Wendy and John arrived. Wendy went to look for Sharon, while John remained at the operating room door, coordinating with Xavier on Thomas’s surgery.
Seeing Wendy, Sharon asked, “How’s Thomas? Is he in danger?”
Wendy had just come down from the operating room.
“No life-threatening injuries,” she replied. “But he lost a lot of blood, and the impact

caused some internal organ trauma. He’ll need time to recover.”
Sharon exhaled in relief. “As long as it’s not life-threatening, that’s good.”
Wendy glanced at Sharon’s bandaged fingers. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Sharon said. “The doctors checked. It’s just cuts from the glass shards. They’ll heal, and won’t affect the competition.”
Wendy shook her head in exasperation. “At a time like this, you’re still thinking about the competition? Your safety comes first. Nothing else matters.”
Over an hour passed as Sharon’s injuries were fully treated. Thomas’s rescue was still ongoing.
Once Wendy confirmed Sharon was unharmed, she finally relaxed completely.
“Sharon,” she asked, “what really happened? How did the car accident occur?”
Before Sharon could speak, Xavier interjected.
“It was Damien’s men. The people I sent to protect Sharon were lured away by Damien’s car.”
He looked at Sharon, guilt shadowing his expression. “Sharon, I’m sorry. I failed to protect you properly.”
Sharon shook her head. “Anyone who lured your men away clearly knew someone was protecting me. They had made thorough preparations. Even with more guards, they could have found a way to exploit a gap.”
Protection isn’t infallible. Even presidents, surrounded by countless security, can be assassinated. And no one would act without careful planning.
Wendy stared in disbelief. “Damien? He’s willing to commit murder just because of what happened to him last time? He’s… ruthless!”
Sharon nodded grimly. “Thank goodness Thomas reacted quickly. Otherwise, we might have really died there,”
More than just two cars had been following them. By ramming those vehicles, Thomas had made the right choice.
