NovelEnglishChapter 1186: If she could reserve such emotions for him alone, could it be that she truly cared for him, in ssmall way? Cedric clung to the hope, his mind scrambling for solace.
Daniela froze, unprepared for the rawness in his voice. She then nodded. "Alright—if it makes you happy." Cedric's voice was clear, his words earnest. "Yes, it does." Daniela agreed without hesitation. "Alright." A smile crept across Cedric's face, and Daniela breathed a silent sigh of relief. “Let's go downstairs for dinner." Daniela had never imagined Nikolas would be out of the hospital so quickly.

Daniela wasn't in the mood to entertain them. "This isn't a hotel, just so you know." Nikolas casually took a bite of his meal. "We're family. What's the problem with staying here?" Daniela could sense a shift in Nikolas-he'd grown even more arrogant since leaving the hospital.
She sneered, her voice laced with contempt. "Nikolas, is there anything else you'd like to explain? Why don't you just say everything?" Nikolas' irritation flared up immediately. He raised his eyes and locked with Daniela's icy, warning stare. He bit his tongue, keeping his words to himself.
Cedric's voice cut through the tension. "What family?" Nikolas shrugged dismissively. "Nothing. Aren't we supposed to be working together? Can't you even give up a room?" ☐☐☐☐☐ sh☐☐☐☐☐☐☐novDaniela didn't even glance at him. “He can stay here, but if he does, you'll have to go. The choice is yours." Nikolas' expression darkened.
Daniela paused mid-motion, fork in hand. "You still think I'm being too soft? Don't push me." Nikolas muttered reluctantly, "Fine..." As soon as dinner was over, Nikolas made a quick call to his secretary.
"Has Ghost regained consciousness?" The secretary answered, "He's just awake." Nikolas commanded, "Put the phone to his ear." The phone was held up to Ghost's ear, and Nikolas wasted no time.

"Ghost, did you see the leader of Qm Lone Wolf that day? Who are they?" A heavy silence hung on the other end of the line.
Nikolas' patience was wearing thin. "Ghost, speak up. Who hurt you? Was it the leader of Lone Wolf?"
Ghost's hand quivered slightly as he gripped the phone. Even now, the horrors of that day haunted him like a ghost. Aside from Daniela, he had never faced an adversary so om formidable it felt as though every move he made was predicted with uncanny accuracy, his every intention laid bare and effortlessly blocked. Around Cedric, Ghost felt exposed-an open book where no secret could remain hidden, and retaliation was an impossible thought. A cold, overwhelming despair flooded him, sinking him deeper into fear.
