Chapter 553

The air in the VIP ward of Naso Hospital was thick with the pungent scent of disinfectant,

It filled the room, lingering in every corner.

Maeve frowned in her sleep, uneasy, then suddenly woke with art, gasping for air. Her throat burned with a sharp, searing pain, and every breath was a struggle. She had just dreamed of being burned alive, with someone standing in front of her fo shield her....

She thought, "Wait."

Maeve blinked, staring up at the pristine white ceiling above her. The sterile hospital room around her finally registered, and she froze for a moment.

"Am I... was I really saved?' she pondered.

"Ms. Reese, you're awake. I'll take your temperature and heart rate now, the nurse said quickly when she saw Maeve's eyes

open.

Maeve tried to sit up, but her body felt weak, like a ragdoll with no strength to hold itself up.

"Don't move just yet. The anesthetic hasn't fully worn off, and I have no idea who would do something so cruel," the nurse said as she gently helped Maeve sit up.

Maeve opened her mouth to speak, but her voice came out hoarse, almost unrecognizable. "Are... are there two kids who were brought here as well?"

The nurse looked puzzled. "Kids? No you're the only one we brought in from the fire."

"Then... where is the person who saved me?"

"I... I'm not sure," the nurse said, handing her a cup with a straw. How do you feel now? You were in the fire for so long, your lungs must've inhaled a lot of smoke and dust, and there are some minor burns, but thankfully, it's not too severe." Unlike the other patient, who still hadn't come out of the emergency room.

Maeve took the medication with the water, her mind still foggy took her a while before she remembered to ask the nurse to borrow a phone.

She dialed Will's number first, but it went unanswered. Frustrated, she dialed Nightfall Manor, asking Damian if the kids were home. "They're at the mansion with their grandpa. Mr. Médaniel sent them there this morning, and they won't be back until tonight," Damian replied. "Where is Byron?" Maeve asked, her voice strained with discomfort.
