The room was dimly lit when Pedro stirred awake, the weight of exhaustion pressing down on him. As his vision cleared, he realized he was in the medical room of his mansion–a facility built specifically for emergencies like this. His head throbbed, his muscles ached, and the bandages on his hand served as a painful reminder of his earlier outburst.

An IV tube was connected to one arm, slowly administering fluids, while the other hand rested heavily on the bed, wrapped in clean, tight bandages. Groaning softly, he leaned back against the headboard, wincing at the pounding pain in his head.

“Here, drink some water,” Uncle Noel said gently, stepping forward and holding out a glass. He helped Pedro take a few careful sips, his voice lined with concern. “How are you feeling now?”

“Terrible,” Pedro muttered, his voice rough. He glanced at the clock on the wall and frowned. The realization of how much time had passed jolted him. Pushing aside the duvet covering him, he tried to get out of bed.

But before he could rise, a firm hand pushed him back down.

“Don’t even think about it, Pedro, Uncle Noel said sternly. His usual mild demeanor was gone, replaced by an unyielding tone. “You’re not leaving this bed.”

“Uncle Noel, I- Pedro began to argue, his frustration bubbling up, but Uncle Noel cut him off sharply.

“No!” Uncle Noel’s voice rose, startling him. “Every other time, I’ve let you do what you want, but not this time. You’re staying in that bed, even if it’s to stop you from chasing after Ethan to kill him!“

The mention of Ethan reignited Pedro’s fury. His eyes blazed with anger as he retorted, “Don’t forget your -place, Uncle Noel. Are you defending Ethan now? You want me to let him off after what he’s done? He married my Lily–my queen! What do you expect me to do? Sit here and celebrate their marriage?”

Uncle Noel didn’t flinch. Instead, he leaned closer, his voice laced with frustration. “Fine! Go ahead. Kill Ethan. Drag Lily here against her will. Force her to be with you if that’s what you want. But do you really think that will make her love you? This behavior will only make her hate you.”

Pedro froze, his anger momentarily replaced by shock. Uncle Noel’s words hit harder than he expected.

I know how much Lily means to you. Acting out like this won’t bring her closer to you–it’ll only drive her away. But who am I to say anything, right? Do whatever you want. I’ll step aside.
