Lucas followed her gaze and glanced at his arm, as if just remembering the injury. He gave it a casual wave. “Just a scratch. It’s nothing–it doesn’t even hurt anymore.”

He spoke lightly, as if it were no big deal; but Sloane couldn’t shake the guilt weighing on her heart.

“I’m sorry… I don’t even know what came over me…” Sloane bit her lower lip, her eyes full of

remorse.

Lucas cut her off with a gentle smile. “It’s just a small wound. You really don’t need to worry

acupuncture and about it. If you really feel bad, then get better soon and help me with the detox.”

He said it sincerely, with an unmistakable tenderness in his gaze.

Sloane parted her lips, about to say more–just then, a knock came at the door.

Lucas stood and went to open it; it was Benjamin.

Lucas filled him in on everything that had happened the night before–how Sloane had spiked a fever after going to bed hungry.

Benjamin stepped into the room, and when he saw Sloane awake, a warm smile appeared on his face. “Ms. Rivers, how are you feeling?”

Sloane returned the smile. “Dr. Benjamin, much better. Thank you.”

Benjamin gave her a quick examination, then reminded her of a few precautions. His gaze then landed on the wound on Lucas’s arm, and his expression shifted to surprise. “Lucas, what happened to your hand?”

Lucas glanced down at the injury and brushed it off. “I bumped it by accident.”

Benjamin could tell at once it was a bite mark, but since Lucas clearly didn’t want to talk about it, he didn’t press. He just left him with a few bottles of medicine.

Worried that Sloane might feel awkward with him lingering around, Lucas called for Nora. “Nora, I’ll leave her in your hands.”

Nora had been working at Lucas‘ residence for many years–meticulous, dependable, and fiercely loyal.

She immediately caught on to what Lucas was thinking and nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, sir. I’ll take perfect care of Ms. Rivers.”

Only then did Lucas feel at ease leaving for the office. The moment he opened the door, Andrew was already waiting for him.

“Talk. What did you find?” Lucas’s voice was low, authoritative, brooking no refusal. He strode to his desk and sat down; the sharp edge in his eyes made Andrew instinctively more cautious.

Andrew quickly reported the findings. “Sir, one of the factions that attacked Ms. Rivers belongs to a dark force secretly raised by the Hazel family. They were ordered to stop the miracle doctor from saving Clark at all costs. The Hazel family and the Kent family have been locked in a silent war for years—they’re the ones who least want Clark to survive.”

He glanced up at Lucas, then continued carefully, “As for the other faction… we haven’t identified them yet.”
