9:45 Wed , Oct 15 Third Person's POV 12 93 Debbii froze on the spot . It took her a moment before she forced out a strained smile , struggling to explain herself . " Bryson , when you were on the phone just now , I overheard a little . I didn't mean to - l just didn't want you to misunderstand me . Hedy's situation is more important . You should hurry and find her . The press conference can be canceled . It doesn't matter . At worst , I'll give up being a doctor in the future . But you need to take care of your health ." As she spoke , her expression softened into one of pitiful fragility . Since they were young , this trick of hers had always worked without fail . She thought today would be no different . But to her shock , he only gave her a cold glance . At last , however , he turned and headed for the parking lot . Only after he left did Debbii's face twist into a contorted snarl . " Damn Hedy ! Lucky for you , you're dead ! Otherwise , I would never let you off ! " With a vicious motion , she smashed a large porcelain vase against the floor , then stormed out without hesitation . Meanwhile , Bryson was flooring the accelerator , running through ten red lights in one breath . What should have been a thirty - minute drive , he forced down to ten . When he finally reached the hospital , the flames in the ward had already been extinguished . He stood in the charred doorway , his body trembling as he looked inside . The small room lay completely exposed : the burned bed , the scorched corners , the bathroom . But nowhere was there a trace of Hedy . Bryson exhaled a long , shuddering breath .

Once the press conference was handled , he would devote himself entirely to finding her . Even though every part of him ached to see her right now , he understood there were more important matters at hand . But as long as she was safe , that was enough . Perhaps , she was already on her way to the press conference . The thought sparked excitement in his chest . " Hedy must be heading to the press conference right now . I have to hurry and see her . " Without wasting another second , he followed the secretary's car and sped toward the venue . The conference hall was still buzzing with noise and excitement . Before leaving earlier , he had already told Debbii to dismiss everyone in the venue . But it was still crowded . Bryson's brows furrowed tightly . He grabbed a random staff member and demanded with irritation , " What's going on with the conference ? Didn't I already tell Debbii to clear everyone out of here ? Why are there still so many people ? " The staff member jolted at the sight of Bryson , his eyes flickering with an odd expression .
