Chapter 327: Hospital...

The door creaked open just as the Old Man’s hand dropped weakly to his side.

A nurse rushed in, halting at the unexpected sight before hurrying to his bedside. Her voice was brisk but professional as she glanced briefly at Davis.

"Sir, please, we need a moment."

Without waiting for a response, she sprang into action, checking vitals and calling for backup as another team of nurses and a doctor rushed in behind her.

Davis stood aside tensed and reluctant, his face blank, and expression unfocused as he watched on.

Taking deep breath before he stepped out of the room. His mind swirled with questions and unease.

"What vault?"

"What’s inside that requires the key to be hidden, locked in a safe of its own?"

"Just how important is it?"

"What secrets does it hold?"

"And no doubt, it will be buried deep under other documents and files," he mused.

A strange hollowness settled in his chest as he walked out of the ward, the tension in his shoulders was palpable as he dreaded this moment. Dreaded what might come next. Dread what the next situation might be.

The moment he stepped into the corridor, all eyes turned toward him, expectant and anxious as they waited for him to say something.

Jessica moved first, her gaze scanning his face with concern and worry. "How is he?" she asked, her voice calm.

Before Davis could answer, the flurry of medical staff rushing into the room gave its own testimony.

She glanced behind him at the door that had another doctor and a few nurses rushing in. Her brows furrowed at the scene, her lips parted to say something but then she closed it again as she took a deep breath.

"He woke briefly," Davis replied in a low voice, "but slipped back into unconsciousness."

Bella stiffened beside them, her hands clenched as tears welled in her eyes.

"Sis... can’t you do something?" she whispered. "You saved him before, right? Please... you can do it again."

Jessica’s face softened with empathy, though her expression held the weight of reality. "Bella, calm down. It’s not always that simple."

"But you’re Jessica! You always find a way..." Bella choked on a sob, grabbing her hand.
