The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 384

Chapter 384

Alex froze at Lucia's fading voice.

"Doctor!" he barked, shoving Josephine toward him. "Test her blood-now! Maybe we still have a chance!"

The doctor's brow furrowed, hesitation flickering in his eyes. "Are you certain?"

"No," Alex shot back. "But if they're related, there's hope. A miracle, maybe. Unless you've got something better to offer?"

The doctor's eyes flicked to Jose, trembling with tears, then to Lucia, already slipping into unconsciousness.

Time was running out.

A gamble, but one worth taking.

"All right," he said quickly, pulling Josephine toward the lab. "Better to try than do nothing."

Alex knelt beside Lucia, taking her frail hand in his.

He poured his inner energy into her, helping her heart to hold on. Jose stood silent at her other side, tears streaming down his face, powerless.

Minutes crawled by.

Then the doors burst open-doctor and nurses rushing in, their faces glowing with relief.

They shoved Alex aside like a storm and worked at lightning speed, pumping fresh blood into Lucia's veins.

Jose gasped, stunned, watching the impossible unfold.

"Doctor..." His lips trembled. "Please... tell me."

The doctor's voice was firm, confident. "We found a match. Mrs. Governor will live."

Jose broke down, sobbing with relief, clutching Lucia's hand as if he'd never let go again.

Alex stepped out into the hall. Josephine was standing there, pale and shaken. "What are you doing out here?" he asked.

She lifted her eyes to him. "It's my blood. It matched with hers. She... she called me her granddaughter."

Silence hung heavy between them. Josephine swallowed hard, her voice trembling as she forced out the words.

"Does that mean something?"

Hope flickered in her eyes—small, fragile, yet burning bright.

Every orphan knew that feeling.

The dream.

One day, a real family would come.

They'd smile and say, I'm sorry I left you alone.

I should've come sooner.

The child would forgive any excuse, no matter how pathetic, and cry out, Take me home.

Love me like other parents love their children.

But for most, the dream faded-day after day, month after month, year after year —until nothing was left.

Some grew bitter, vowing, If you forgot me, I'll forget you too.

Others searched for their parents, only to uncover cruelty-parents who were irresponsible, heartless bastards, or something even worse.

They were simply unwanted.

And the children who once believed the world was kind learned instead that life was harsh, filled with betrayal, and they swore not to become the monsters their parents were.

Josephine stared at Alex, her lips quivering, eyes wet.
