Chapter 4 Hazel woke up and found herself in a hospital bed . She survived . Someone pulled her out of that basement . For a moment , she thought maybe it was Vincent - that perhaps he'd softened and , with some lingering feeling for her , had rescued her . But when she turned her head , she saw her father sitting beside her , a thick bandage wrapped around his head . Only then did she realize it hadn't been Vincent . It was her father who had risked everything to drag her badly injured body out of the basement . He even knelt before Milena , taking the blame for himself . Only then had Vincent finally relented and agreed to get her to the hospital . Hazel closed her eyes , pain ripping through her . She couldn't bear to look at her father's wounds , afraid that the next second she might lose control and kill Vincent . It took a long time for her to steady herself . When she finally opened her eyes and looked at her father , she whispered , " Don't worry . Five days from now , I'll get you and Sadie out of here . " But just as she finished her words , the ward door was flung open . Vincent's brows furrowed slightly , his tone tinged with a panic he wasn't even aware of . " Out of here ? Where are you going ? " Hazel hadn't expected him to come . She clenched her fists , nails digging into her palms , but her expression remained calm . " Just out for a walk . What ? You can't even let me have a little freedom ? " Hearing this , Vincent breathed a sigh of relief . " Of course not . As long as you don't hurt Milena , I'll give you whatever you want ." " I came to ask you to help record a video , " he said . The footage from the dart room had been leaked online by someone with ulterior motives . Milena's personal information had been exposed and netizens were attacking her relentlessly . They weren't just calling her a murderer - they were labeling her as " Vincent's mistress ." Vincent had wiped the trending searches seven times but still couldn't stop it . He had no choice but to ask Hazel , as the older sister of the victim , to record a video , clearing the situation . " I want you to tell everyone it was you who sent your sister to be the target , that you deliberately caused her to lose her balanc and get hurt , " Vincent said , eyes narrowing . 8:48 Wed , Oct 15 d A 99 " Only then will people believe it was your jealousy of my attention toward Milena that drove you to set this trap - and stop the online attacks . " Hazel , sitting on the hospital bed , grew paler by the second . She stared at him , a wave of sorrow washing over her . To clear Milena's name , he was willing to throw all the dirt onto her . This was the same Vincent who had once treated her like the center of his world , who had feared she would suffer even the smallest grievance . But Hazel knew resistance was useless - it would only bring more trouble to herself and her family . " I can agree to record the video , but my sister's surgery has to start now . She can't wait . " Vincent didn't hesitate . He ordered the surgeons to begin Sadie's operation right in front of her . Slightly relieved , Hazel mustered her remaining strength and got out of bed to record the video . As expected , once the video was released , the internet's anger shifted entirely onto her . Not only her private phone number was exposed and people constantly harassed her , some even showed up at the hospital , leaving funeral wreaths and cursing her and her sister to die . Exhausted , Hazel turned her phone off for a full day , too afraid to check it . That evening , Vincent arrived after hearing about disturbances at the hospital There was a rare look of pity on his face and he gently wiped away Hazel's tears . " Don't be afraid . I'll assign extra bodyguards to protect you . " " As for the online attacks , Milena's just come out of the storm . The truth can't be cleared yet . In three days , I'll hire a PR company to restore you and your sister's reputation ." But what was the point of vindication so delayed ? Hazel refused to look at his hypocritical face and silently told herself , " No need for that ." 8:49 Wed , Oct 15 d :
