When Joey arrived at the hospital, her father was being resuscitated in the emergency room. She forced herself to walk over to the prison guard, her voice trembling. "How is he?"


    "He''s still being resuscitated, and we don''t know the full status yet. He attempted suicide by cutting his wrists. He lost quite a lot of blood. He just had heart surgery, so it''s aplicated situation." Upon hearing this, Joey took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.


    The guard immediately held her, concerned, and said, "Miss ckwood, please don''t worry. An expert just went in, and I believe Mr. ckwood Sr. will be fine."


    Joey held back her emotions, preventing tears from falling, and asked the guard, "How did my father attempt suicide?"


    The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. ckwood Sr. has been very depressedtely, and he didn''t look well. We thought he was having a heart attack, so we took him to the hospital for further examination. "While the nurse was administering an IV, he managed to steal a ss bottle. When he returned to the prison, he smashed the bottle in the bathroom and cut his wrists. By the time we found him, there was a pool of blood on the floor, and he was unconscious."novelbin


    Upon hearing this, Joey felt her head spinning. She had already guessed the reason for her father''s suicide attempt. He couldn''t bear to see her sacrifice her body in return for his freedom.


    But who had told him about the agreement she had made with Sebastian?


    Just then, the door to the emergency room opened. Joey immediately stood up and rushed over, her steps unsteady.


    "Doctor, how is my dad?"


    The doctor took off his mask and said, "The patient''s heart got infected for the second time, andbined with the excessive blood loss, he''s currently in aa. He''s still in critical condition and needs to be transferred to the intensive care unit. He''s currently very weak and cannot be woken up. Please take care of him."


    Joey forced herself to remain calm and nodded. "Okay, I understand."


    She watched as her father was wheeled into the ICU by the medical staff. She saw the doctors attaching many devices to him.


    Joey felt herself copsing. She slowly crouched down, burying her face in her knees, her body shaking uncontrobly.

    She had never been so afraid before, not even when her father first went into the operating room for his heart surgery. She had the unwavering belief that with the advanced medical equipment avable, the surgery would be sessful. But now, her father had attempted suicide.


    If he gave up his will to live, he might nevere back.


    Just as she was in despair, she heard hurried footsteps in the hallway. Joey slowly looked up and saw Sebastian approaching, dressed in ck, his face filled with concern.


    Their eyes met across the corridor.


    In that instant, the tension in Joey''s heart snapped. The tears that she had held back streamed down her cheeks.


    Seeing her like this, Sebastian felt as though his heart had been stabbed, leaving him bleeding out where he stood.

    He quickly took a few steps forward and embraced her, hisrge hands gently stroking her head. His voice was hoarse.


    "Don''t be afraid, I''m here."


    Tears continued to flow down Joey''s face, dripping onto Sebastian''s crisp shirt.


    She said, weakly, "Sebastian, you promised me that as long as I obeyed, you would keep my father safe. Then why did this happen? If he never wakes up again, I''ll never forgive you for as long as I live!"


    She spoke with a hoarse voice, on the verge of copse. Her father was the one she relied on, the one who cherished her in the palm of his hand. If he really left, Joey didn''t know how she would face the rest of her life alone. Sebastian had never seen Joey like this before. He held her tightly,forting her in a low voice.


    "Joey, calm down. I''ve already got the best experts avable looking after him. I won''t let him leave you."


    Joey kept sobbing. "Sebastian, my father wouldn''t have attempted suicide for no reason. Someone must have told him about our current arrangement. If I find out who it is, I won''t let them get away with it."
