Boulle was startled and stared at han “So what? It’s not scary major hospital has in” 
“pillerent brands, and levels of doctors the different results. What did your doctor tell you about the infection rate? 50 percent?” William spoke with indifference. “My doctor says keit peterit.” 
Emelle heller birali. Ten percent 
Her mother’s current doctor was abrally renowned in Capebat city, and he could only hold the infection rate at about 50 percent. 
Yet william here had a doctor who could lower the possibility of infection to ten percent. Itseant he could raise her mother’s survival chance from fifty–fifty to ninety percent. “panelic, l’ou not threatening you this time, nor am 1 blocking you. I’m even offering you another path,” William released her, gesturing toward the elevator doors. “Thechoice is 
Finette stood inside the elevator with her hand clenching Into a list. He seemed to give her a choice, but in reality, there wasn’t any choice at all. 
Sometimes, she found Willam by sunseating 
While he was at odds with Daphine on one hand, he seamlessly moved on to Patricia 

The previous night, he told her to come back just to tease bet. Now, he’d placed a new chip to control ber 
ng this and that, all arence. 
The elevator suddenly descended, and Encle looked at the display screen. Someone must have pressed the elevator downstairs. 
That was good. She could use this time to sort out her emotions. 
She messaged Eliana, asking about their mother’s condition. 
The reply came, “Everything’s stable.” 
Emelie relaxed slightly. 
As the elevator reached the first floor, someone entered, and Emelie pressed the botton for the 6th floor 
She opened her chat screen with Samuel, contemplating what to write 
“Mr. Swanson, Capebatt University’s Medical Department is top–notch, and your brother is a renowned traditional medicine practitioner. Do you happen to know any exceptional cardiac specialists?” 
The curent director was the best doctor she could find within her means, Samuel, with a higher status, should have access to even better doctors. 
But before sending the message, the elevator reached the 6th oo After a moment of hesitation, she deleted it. 
Work first and address the rest later, it was to prevent distractions and ensure the best possible outcomes from both sides 

As she exited the elevator, Emelie’s emotions returned to normal as she headed toward the conference room 
The next day, Emelie and Patrick were again in a team. 
She thought Patricia would be the same, doing nothing and relying solely on herself. To her surprise, Patricia was working hard that day. 
They visited several sites together, cross–checking project data one by one. Thanks to Patricia’s cooperation, Emelie’s workload telt much lighter. 
Patricia had reached the position of business development manager with some real talent and skill. 
After finishing up and preparing to return to the hotel, Patricia apologized to Emelie in the car for her abrupt departure the previous day. She explained that she was upset 
“It’s okay,” Emelie replied simply. 
“Speaking of yesterday’s work, Emelie, could you send me a copy of the report we discussed in the meeting? I feel something’s not quite right.” 
“Which one?” Emelie took out her phone to open the document, but Patricia snatched it away before she could react 
“My phone suddenly can’t connect to the internet, so1’ll use yours. It’s here.” 
Emelie glanced out the window, noticing it was already evening–6:00pm. Daylight was short during winter, and the city appeared bright due to streetlights and shops. 
Yet outside this window, it was pitch–black. It seemed they had entered a forest. The trees had obscured the view. 
Entre frowned. “Did we take the wrong road? is this the way back to the hotel?” 
“Yes,“” the driver replied. 
“I don’t recall passing through a forest to get back to the hotel. Emelle delt something was amiss. 
Patricia also peered outside “Yeah, I remember we don’t need to go through a forest. Mister, could you stop? We want to check.” 
The driver stopped, and Patricia opened her door while Emelie did the same. They confirmed they were indeed in a forest 
She barely had time to realize something was wrong when the car door slammed shut. 
Emelie rushed to grab the door, but the vehicle sped off. 
Enelle realized Patricia had planned this all along. Her se 
work today, along with the apology, had been an act
