A flicker of agitation crossed Stanley's face when he saw Arvin acting so tenderly to Angela. Was this really Arvin? How could it be possible? He was always indifferent and cold! The man was never loving and tender, not since Rosa...

Angela's emotions were subdued when she fell under Arvin's spell. She walked to Stanley with tears in her eyes. "Can you stay here to take care of Nancy?"

Nancy liked Stanley. It would make her overjoyed if she could wake up to see him.

Stanley, however, was in a silent mood. He had just been walked-in on. He replied after a while, "She... I have informed Gage. "

He didn't think Nancy'd want to see him, so he asked Gage to come take care of her.

Angela glared at him with anger. He couldn't understand why her eyes burned with hatred.

All right, if she couldn't persuade him, Arvin would!

Angela threw herself into Arvin's arms and spoke to him in a slight and tender way. "Big wing, I can't persuade Mr. Su. Can you help me to..."

Stanley Su was speechless.

The warm notes of her voice melted Arvin's heart. He stared at Stanley. "Gage is in D City now. He won't arrive till at least tomorrow morning. Nancy needs someone to look after her tonight."

"But I...er..."

"Seize the opportunity, " said Arvin resolutely.

...

Arvin finally succeeded in persuading Stanley.

Arvin and Angela left the room while Stanley chose to stay behind.

The dawn came, and Stanley had not slept. Nancy drew all of his attention.

It wasn't until Xenia brought him breakfast that Stanley took a break and stood up to bathe in the washroom.

Xenia put the breakfast on the table, and tended to Nancy's vitals. She remained unconscious. She had heard that Nancy and Angela got hurt last night. Rumours had trickled through the VVIP Department. She did not believe them until she saw her now.

But the question remained, where was Angela? She wasn't anywhere to be found!

She busied herself to changing the intravenous drip for Nancy. When Stanley came out of the washroom, his eyes were red and tired-looking.

Xenia looked at him, the weapon around his belt, the gleaming badge, the robust uniform... He was so handsome!

Stanley noticed Xenia's interest, but he was too exhaust

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

y, how are you? What happened to you!"

It was Gage.

He had raced here from D City in such a hurry.

"Brother." Nancy wanted to sit up when she saw Gage, but her face twisted and she touched the wound on her stomach. The pain was excruciating.

Gage was about to stride to his sister to comfort her, but Stanley was faster and reached Nancy first. He made sure she lay straight so her head relaxed into the pillow.

"Stanley, why are you here? I thought you had left last night?"

Stanley concealed all of his emotions. "I'm leaving."

Nancy's face twisted again, not out of pain this time, but out of genuine dread that Stanley was leaving. But she couldn't ask him to stay here, not while Gage was here, so she only said, "Stanley... Thank you."

Stanley nodded, throwing his coat on. "Well, have a good rest." If she wanted to see him, he would come again, just to see her.

"Wait!" Gage stopped Stanley, who had already made it to the door in a hurry.

Stanley turned around.

Gage whispered something into Nancy's and called a nurse to come in. When she arrived, Gage took Stanley outside of the ward.

They started walking towards to doctor's office, and Gage asked, "What happened to my sister?"

Stanley told Gage every detail of what had happened last night. When he finished, he said, "Now, all the bastards are locked up. So now you see. Last night, if Arvin hadn't come to recuse Nancy, to take on those two men, the consequences would have been disastrous."
