Chapter 187

Drake saw the news report of the incident and watched videos captured by bystanders online.

The footage of Thalia fighting her attackers made his heart clench.

Before he could process that sight, he watched as she was loaded into an ambulance.

His chest tightened painfully.

He tried calling Thalia several times from his assistant’s phone, but no one answered.

Frantic with worry, Drake abandoned his work and rushed to the hospital.

Not knowing which hospital Thalia had been taken to, he checked three facilities near the incident location, frantically inquiring at each until he finally spotted familiar faces outside an emergency room at the last hospital.

He hurried over, his composure shattered, and grabbed Asher’s arm. “Blackwood, how is she? How’s Thalia?”

As he gripped Asher’s arm, Drake felt something wet and sticky. Looking down, he saw his hand covered in blood and recoiled in shock.

Asher withdrew his arm, his eyes icy as he responded coldly: “Still in surgery.”

“What happened? Witnesses online said the victim was shot–how did the attackers get a gun?” Drake asked, then suddenly realized: “Was it Malfoy? Has Malfoy come for revenge?”

Asher’s eyes flashed with dangerous intensity as he snapped: “Shut up. You’re being loud.”

Drake’s temper flared. “Blackwood, if you can’t protect her, why do you keep pursuing her? If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t repeatedly find herself in danger!”

His voice echoed through the corridor, prompting a passing nurse to reprimand them: “This is a hospital! Keep it down!”

Drake lowered his voice but continued to glare at Asher with undisguised hatred.

“Haven’t you done enough damage? Why keep involving her? Is the great Blackwood heir so incompetent that he can’t even protect the woman he claims to love? What good are you? You once told me I wasn’t worthy of Thalia, that I had no right to love her–but what about you? What right do you have?”

Asher’s jaw tightened as he absorbed Drake’s accusations. His hands clenched into fists, but he remained silent.

It was true.
