Chapter 186

The police and ambulance arrived swiftly.

The two assailants were taken into custody.

At the hospital, outside the emergency room.

Alana and Lucy stood anxiously in the corridor.

Lucy paced back and forth, muttering repeatedly: “She’ll be fine, she has to be fine…”

Alana remained grimly silent, leaning against the wall with her eyes downcast, lips pressed into a tight line.

Soon, Randolph and Victoria arrived, having rushed over upon receiving the news.

“How is Thalia?” Randolph asked Alana urgently.

Alana kept her eyes lowered, her face filled with remorse as she replied in a strained voice: “She took a bullet to the chest, sir. We don’t know if it hit her heart.”

Randolph staggered at these words, nearly losing his balance.

“How could this happen?” His eyes widened in disbelief, filled with anguish.

“It’s my fault…” Lucy spoke up, her eyes red–rimmed and voice breaking. “The bullet wouldn’t have hit Thalia from that angle. It should have been me. She pushed me out of the way–that’s why she was shot… I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault…”

“Mr. Winters, these weren’t ordinary attackers,” Alana said gravely. “I engaged both men. They were professionally trained mercenaries. I recognized this marking on one of their necks–it’s the tattoo worn by mercenaries working for Russia’s largest criminal organization.”

Alana showed Randolph a photo on her phone–one she had taken before the police arrived.

The image showed the man who had collapsed from the sedative, with a distinctive black gun–shaped tattoo on the

back of his neck.
