Chapter 8 - LILY'S AWAKENING
Carter immediately leaned over the hospital bed, kissing Lily’s forehead with profound tenderness and relief.
"I'm right here, my love," Carter whispered gently. "You're safe now."
Lily took a deep breath, her long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders as she tried to sit up.
"Victoria was trying to steal your father's legacy documents from the hidden safe behind the flag," Lily revealed urgently.
Carter’s dark eyes narrowed instantly as he processed the explosive revelation regarding Victoria's true motive.
"She didn't just attack you out of jealousy... she was working for Marcus Cole," Carter realized smoothly.
"She dropped a flash drive on the marble floor right before you walked through the front doors," Lily added.
Carter reached into his inner suit pocket, pulling out a small black flash drive wrapped in a velvet napkin.
"My security team recovered it while the paramedics were helping you," Carter said, a dangerous smile appearing on his face.
