Chapter 3 - Mia Receives Emergency Medical Care In The Master Suite
Upstairs in the magnificent master suite, soft lamplight illuminated the plush silk sheets where Mia Carter rested quietly.
A trusted estate physician moved methodically across the room, wrapping antiseptic bandages around the raw, bleeding rope burns on her wrists.
Harper sat cross-legged at the edge of the oversized mattress, clutching her mother’s uninjured hand with fierce, protective devotion.
“You’re safe now, Mommy. Mr. Vale chased the bad man away,” Harper whispered, pressing her face gently against Mia’s arm.
Mia smiled weakly, her eyes welling with grateful tears as she stroked her daughter’s tangled blond hair.
“I know, my sweet angel. I know,” Mia murmured, her voice still hoarse from three days of dehydration in the dark cellar.
Dominic stood quietly by the doorway, watching the mother and daughter duo with an emotion he rarely allowed himself to feel.
“How are her vitals, Doctor?” Dominic asked quietly, stepping into the warm glow of the bedroom lamps.

“Severe exhaustion, dehydration, and superficial trauma, but she will make a full physical recovery given proper rest,” the physician confirmed.
Dominic nodded, offering Mia a gentle, reassuring look before turning back toward the hallway to manage the unfolding crisis.
