"Arabella." Martin's voice trailed off in disbelief as the girl before him stood her ground, unyielding.

"No matter who he sends, they won't even lay a finger on me," Arabella said with a confidence that was

both fierce and calm.

"But did you ever think about the people around you?" Martin couldn't help but blurt out. "They don't all

have your strength."

"You try messin' with Bella's folks, see what happens!" Sean barked, his temper flaring at the thought.

"That mystery guy, he's not just after you. If he can't get to you, he'll target those close to you. It's a no-

brainer."

"Even if I save Serena, he'll still come after me, then why the hell should I bother?" Arabella's retort left

Martin speechless.

"Let him come," Arabella said coolly as she climbed into her car. "I'm curious to see what tricks he's got

up his sleeve."

Martin watched her drive away, the Collins family's cars disappearing one by one from his view.

In the end, all he could do was turn to Dr. Pierce.

"I'm just a dean here; saving lives is a job for the doctors." Dr. Pierce managed the hospital but wasn't

remotely as skilled in medicine as the big-shot doctors.

Martin's gaze lingered on Dr. Pierce's retreating figure, a sense of disappointment washing over him.

Then, his phone rang.

"Martin, you think you're clever, teaming up with the Collins family against me. You can forget about

getting any antidote from me!" The mysterious caller hung up in a rage before Martin could even

respond.

Before he could digest the threat, his phone rang again. It was Dora.

"Sir, Serena's coughing up blood again, and all the doctors you brought in are clueless. What do we

do?"

Hearing this, Martin rushed to the hospital room.

For two long days and nights, Serena's condition worsened, her vomiting of blood becoming more

frequent, and the pain spreading through her body was unbearable.

"Martin, it hurts so much." Serena lay weakly in his arms, tears of despair rolling down her cheeks.

"When are the doctors you called coming? My ears, my eyes, everything hurts so much. I think I'm

dying. Why haven't any new doctors come to see me these past two days?"

Martin fought back tears, unable to tell the girl in his arms that he had run out of options.

Every doctor within his reach had been summoned, and none had an answer for Serena's mysterious

ailment.

Desperate and helpless, Martin could only watch as Serena suffered, the ordeal draining him of all his

strength.

"Martin, say something." Serena pleaded, her voice weak, sensing his guilt and sorrow. "Is it true?

Have the doctors given up on me? Are you unable to find anyone? Am I really going to die?" Read at

Tears filled Martin's eyes as he whispered, "I'll find a way."

Arabella had her cornered, demanding that she beg for forgiveness and the antidote.
