They exchanged wary glances, each person unsure how to react.

Minutes before Alex arrived, Jack had yelled loudly enough for half the hospital to hear him:

"I don't care if it was demons or damn gods who hurt Sophia-I'll kill them all. I'll burn the whole world down if I have to!"

The others chimed in, bravado swelling like a rising tide. "Damn straight! I'll give up my life if that's what it takes."

But Jericho Kane was flesh and blood, a man who could wipe out families on a whim.

Suddenly, no one even dared to whisper a word of protest.

Florence and the others grew restless, every one of them understand: messing with the Kane family was suicide.

The mocking stung the air. In their minds, Alex was nothing but a fool with a death wish.

Suddenly, Clara burst into the ward, breathless. "Sister Florence I've got huge news. Alex-he... he attacked Bella Kane-"

She stopped in mid-sentence, eyes going wide at the sight of Alex. You... what are you doing here?"
