Maurice always kept his word. As head of the Glovers family, his ruthless methods were infamous; once determined, he stopped at nothing. Ablil was nearly turned upside down at his command, and the "Mr. Falas" Baldy mentioned was quickly apprehended.

He was brought before Felicia. She didn't need to speak. Maurice simply said, "Louie Falas, right? Have you hidden your wife and two children well?" Louie's face paled. He knew Maurice's nature—such a threat was serious.

Louie gritted his teeth, trembling. "Mrs. Glovers Senior contacted me, asking for a small favor. She helped me in the past, so I couldn't refuse."

Maurice chuckled, surprised yet unsurprised. He hadn't expected Kelsey's influence to persist, even after his efforts to eliminate it. He waved a hand, and the desperate Louie was gagged and dragged away.

Turning to Felicia, he asked, "How do you want to handle this?" It seemed he left the decision to her.

She countered, "Aren't you going to stop me? I'm planning to kill a Glovers family member."

"I won't stop you. I'll even hand you the knife."

She remained silent, turning to leave. Maurice chuckled, following. "The helicopter's on the top floor. You're going the wrong way. The elevator's over here."

Only then did she comply. While Felicia awaited news of Louie, her nine mercenaries, having already sent Baldy to Ablil on the first helicopter, waited for their five billion dollar reward. The second helicopter, arranged by Maurice, awaited on the top floor.

Felicia changed from her hospital gown into a loose sweatshirt and sweatpants, easing discomfort from her wounds. The special panax pseudo-ginseng she used was rapidly healing her injuries. Maurice's more severe injuries, swathed in bandages, made him look almost mummified. He couldn't even change his clothes. Yet, he refused a wheelchair, shamelessly draping his arm over her shoulder while waiting for the elevator.

She immediately shook him off. "Get lost!"

"You're mean." He clicked his tongue, then playfully poked her hand, his tone unusually curious. "What medicine are you using? Your recovery is amazing. Share some?"

She was speechless. Her irritation grew, her desire to strangle him intensifying. Just as she was about to dismiss him, the elevator doors opened, revealing Stephan.

She hadn't expected to see him, much less that they were in the same hospital. She realized it was the nearest hospital to the accident scene and where she'd jumped from the car.

Stephan didn't appear seriously injured, relieving Felicia. But as she sighed, Maurice's arm draped over her shoulder, his voice a mischievous whisper, "Ah, I'm losing my balance. Can you help me?"

Speechless, she wanted to curse but saw Stephan exiting the elevator. His gaze casually swept over them, emotionless, as if seeing strangers. She realized their "pulling and tugging" must have appeared intimate from his perspective.
