Chapter 917
Everyone gathered around the surgeon and stared at him nervously.
The surgeon exhaled deeply, shaking his head somberly as he disclosed, “The bullet caused significant
damage to her organ, leading to a hemorrhage.
“Frankly, there was little hope from the moment she arrived at the hospital. I regret to inform you, Ms.

Relieved, Alyssa closed her eyes again.
Silas, ever vigilant, picked up on a crucial term. “Lyse, what’s the evidence? Did the attackers come for
it?
Is that why Nina died?”
“Yes, but I need concrete evidence before I can tell you the details,” she responded, her nails digging
into her palm as a painful reminder of the fury and resentment she harbored.
She wanted revenge.
