It was certainly a narrowy escape. My professional facade had almost cracked, as if he’d caught me off guard.
Deep in my thoughts, 1 expersefired a massive jump stare as toy cell phone rang, giving me a ininot heart attack. I took a deep breath and received my security bram’s call.
“Tirase come quickly, Miss Becker, Jane has had an accident during her engineering workshop!”
Christ on a bike, what the hell was happening in my life‘?
Almost immediately, I felt that this was more than a mellest. And it had to be someone’s conspiracy. The fact that I had a child was not widely known, so it could only be people close to me.
During our short stay in Boston, Jane had disappeared twice, and today, she got hurt. What was wrong?
These back to hack incidents took a toll on my mental health, destroying my inner peace. I left all the work behind and rushed towards her STEM academy with my staff. Jane must be in their medical facility by now.
And my little girl must be scared without me!
With my heart drumming in my ears, I reached the academy. My hastened steps took me to the infirmary in no time,
As I entered through the door, my gaze fell on my injured daughter, lying on the examination bed.
Jane!”
An involuntary gasp escaped from my mouth as I ran towards the bed. The haudage around her arm crushed my heart. She was looking so pale!
The medical staff member noticed my arrival and informed me. “It’s good that you came here, ma’am. I have bandaged her wound.
Ignoring her obvious report, I clutched my little girl to my chest and asked about her condition.
“Jane fainted due to shock and fatigue. She will recover after sleeping for some hours naturally. There’s nothing to be worried about, ma’am”
Zoe was standing near Jane’s bed; a mix of concern and guilt was etched on his face as he tried to comfort me.
“Tane will be fine sDDEL”
I carefully put Jane hack to bed and tucked her in. My wounded heart was looking for the culprit of this incident. My security staff!
As a leading business executive, my family was at security risk. Hiring private security guards was essential for us. I had signed contracts with security agencies for protection. But still, my daughter was hurt. Then what was the use of hiring good for nothing idiots?
Raging in anger, I walked out of the room and glared at the security guard assigned to Jane’s duty.
“How did my daughter get hurt? Where were you?”
“This is the second time that you failed to fulfil your duty. You are fired!” I shouted at the bodyguard
At that very moment, Felix emerged from the academy’s engineering lab, having just finished reviewing safety protocols with the instructors Seeing him at the academy set me on fire.
What the hell was he doing here?
Unable to suppress my fury, I stalked towards him dangerously as he greeted me.
“Hello, Miss Becker!”
I shouted at him in response, pointing an accusatury finger. Hatred Dashed in my c
“Why are you always around whenever something happens to my Jare?”
eyes as I instinctively blamed Felix as the culprit.

Seeing my daughter’s vuberable state, I lost my mind. The extent of helplessness cut through every cell of my body. It killed ina bo tr my Jane had suffered due to the injury. How scared she was while going through this painful moment alone?
Unfred by my misery. Fell looked frustrated. My accusatory tone only made him defensive. He stepped forward with his hands raised peacefully.
Jane wanted to show me her rocket design in the engineering lab, so I was reviewing the safety equipment with the instructors. How old this accident happen in such a short time?”
No matter what he said, I didn’t feel at ease. Breaking the hands that had caused movironment to be unsafe was the only thing on my mind:
Thankfully, Zoe interjected in our conversation. His childish tone sounded serious as he informed me.
“It was Melody. She was looking for daddy in the lab, When Jane tried to tell her that daddy was with the instructors, she pushed her. That’s how Jane tripped and accidentally hit the metal equipment.”
Author’s note: Yes. Melody is back again. What is she up to this time?
