"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW!?" Cerim was enraged.
"S-Second Young Master, the investigation only led to the driver. We couldn't connect the explosion to anyone since..." The man was trembling, the anger of Cerim couldn't be measured.
A few days ago he got reports that his brother experienced another accident! This time a crazy taxi driver who was sick of living decided to intentionally crash into his brother's car.
Not only was this such a coincidence, but after he collided, an explosion followed. The car was rigged with explosives!
There was no such thing as a coincidence on this level. Someone must have planned it. But Cerim was losing his mind as he couldn't find out who...
"DO YOUR DAMN JOB AND FIND OUT! IF YOU DON'T THEN TAKE GRADE A PUNISHMENT!" Cerim felt his soul leave his body when it was also on international news that his brother's car was blown up!
The subordinate quivered as he ran off, he had no time to waste, the grade A punishment was the harshest punishment there was. Often used on traitors, insufferable torture!
Cerim shook as he walked into the hospital door. Upon seeing his brother's condition be stable, he was so relieved.
"How... Is... She?" Mou asked with a dry voice, he remembered the incident extremely well.
*Flashback*
After Stella jerked the wheel, the car collided with Stella's door, causing her to wince in pain as the door broke and slammed into her leg.
Mou was livid, but he never expected the next thing he would hear was explosive! He blacked out for a while. Before awakening in the wreckage.
His blurry eyes ignored the damaged cars, as he frantically looked for Terel and Stella.
He found Terel Unconcious far away from the explosion, thankfully he was blessed, as the car colliding only helped his distance to the explosion.
But he couldn't find Stella. He clawed his way across the floor. Ignoring the pain in his leg and head, his eyes lost all hope. When he saw her bloodied body inside the car still.
He heard sirens. But he wasn't bothered, the flame was his first worry. Stella was close to the flame! He clawed to the car, noticing the door was crumpled, he tried to upon it. But his bulletproof car also had great protection, he couldn't open the door...
He felt his vision going darker by the second, he felt he heard some footsteps behind him. "Save... Him." He slumped into unconsciousness.
*Flashback end*
Mou was in a coma like state for a couple of days, his former injuries were aggravated and he needed intensive care. But his first thought was on the woman who was closest to the explosion. And got the main hit of the collision...
Cerim blanked. He felt cold sweat forming on his forehead.
"B-Bro, how about resting for a bit?" Cerim intentionally changed the subject.
Mou narrowed his eyes. "Where. The. Fuck. Is. She?" His aura was venomous, Cerim wondered if he was actually injured or not.
Of course, since the injury was such an international issue. Mou, Terel and Stella were all airlifted to hospitals in Country T, but how could Cerim tell Mou what happened to Stella...
*Flashback*
Cerim was tearing his hair out as he walked back and forth in the hallway. He saw Terel's injuries weren't that bad so that was a relief. But Mou's and especially Stella's...
The doctor walked out of the operation room with a grim face. "Will she live doctor?" Cerim immediately asked, he was scared, worried. And especially fearful, if his brother woke up to Stella being dead...
"Second Young Master, it's not good news." Cerim's face dropped as tears threatened to fall.
Then Cerim heard multiple footsteps in the hallway behind him. Thinking it was his family he turned. But he saw some people he didn't expect...
"Where is she!?" A tall, and imposing man raged, as he seemed to be wearing a doctor's outfit...
"D-Doctor Yull!" The other doctor seemed surprised to see the man.
"I have no time. Where is she?" Andy was fuming, he knew better than anyone how this will impact Stella...
"In the operation room..." The doctor replied, but was only met by wind passing by him. Andy interrupted the operation and took immediate control.
At first Cerim wanted to stop him, but the familiar faces he saw made him second guess himself.
"You can leave now doctor." Cerim felt his soul leaving him. 'So Stella is the head of the Bei family...'
The combination of Vi, Di, and Hill made things blatantly clear for Cerim. Hill was under the head of the Bei family, and now the two women associated with Stella were with him, while Stella was in a heavy accident...
*Flashback end*
Mou was quiet as he listened to Stella being confirmed as being the Bei family head. And now he saw the doctor Cerim mention come into the room...
Andy was shattered, he worked for two days non-stop to stabilize Stella's condition. With the injuries and her health...
"Since you now know who she is. I suggest you listen very carefully to what I'm about to say." Andy's voice was null of emotion, not a good sign.
"The collision caused a fracture in her left leg. An operation on her leg will still need to be completed. The explosion caused... Severe damage to her inner organs, her lungs to fail, her larynx (Voicebox) is severely damaged due to previous issues and now the extreme force it took. Severe internal bleeding, both arms being broken. Her skull taking a heavy hit which has a 30% chance to cause brain damage..." Andy listed off the damage caused.
Mou felt his heart stop. "Will she... Wake up?" Cerim asked for Mou, the injuries listed... Were too much right?
Andy closed his eyes painfully. "I was permitted by the temporary leader that I can tell you her previous issues." Andy's words made Mou struggle to breathe.
"With the amount of internal damage Miss had previously, alongside her organs entering the final stage of shutting down... She would have had a month and a half left to live." This report, made Mou's breathing irregular.
"W-What do you mean?" His voice was shaky, as tears formed in his eyes.
"Accompanied by her injuries now, she may never wake up again." Andy's words, were the final straw.
The room was deathly silent. Cerim felt like he was in pain, so he didn't want to know how bad Mou felt at that moment...
"Please leave." Mou requested as his voice cracked, he needed time.
Andy walked out first, he walked over to where he could rest and sat down shakily.
Vi, Di, and Hill all heard the news. They were all taking the news badly, as they sat alongside Andy with desolate expressions.
Blair was controlling the businesses under his control with an iron fist, as he and Tia worked ruthlessly to get to the bottom of who ordered the hit.
Cerim followed behind Andy. Upon seeing the four together, he sat a little far. But he kept some closeness.
"Some other people will be coming soon, is it good for you?" Cerim asked, they had some important jobs that needed to be hidden after all...
"It'll be fine." Hill answered, only he was well known to people. While Andy was only well known by other doctors who heard tales of his skills.
The silence was deafening. Eun, Chris, the entire Pold family, and Mou and Cerim's grandparents showed up.
After being given the rundown by the doctor. The people associated with Stella... All went quiet.
Emily was feeling especially heavy. During the weeks she and Stella were calling frequently, as Stella was learning love from her...
The Pold siblings all were forlorn about Stella's situation, some had met Stella, while some were still incredibly excited to meet the woman who ruined the Fude family...
"How is Mou taking it?" Emily asked Cerim as she realized something.
Cerim shook his head. "Knowing bro... Really badly, he was there. But he couldn't do anything..." Cerim answered the question the best he could...
The grandparents both looked into each other's eyes and quietly walked into their grandson's room. While the others slowly left after seeing Mou and Terel.
