Jace's instincts were on high alert as he observed the situation outside. When he felt it was sufficiently safe, he loosened his grip on the woman, only to find his palm damp with her tears.
Jace fixed his gaze on her teary eyes and instantly recognized her. She was the swoman who had frantically chased after him at the hospital, calling him "Hugh" as if possessed.
That could only mean one thing. She was Hugh's mother, the mother of the fifth Young Master of the Thompson family. Jace's body stiffened as he straightened up abruptly and distanced himself from Mila. Every fiber of his body shook.

"Don't go!" Mila cried, her tearful eyes wide as she clutched his solid arm in desperation.

She could not let him go, as she feared that if she did, she would never find him again.

"Apologies for earlier," Jace said coldly, then turned to get out of the car.

"It's none of your business," Jace said coldly.

But before he could move, his vision blurred, and he collapsed into Mila's arms.
"Hugh, Hugh! Wake up!" Mila cried, her voice filled with panic as she held him close.
The driver quickly said, "Madam Mila, look at his shoulder! It's bleeding! He must be injured!" Mila felt something wet and sticky in her palm. When she looked down, her hand was stained with bright, red blood! "Hurry! Take us to the Thompson Hospital immediately!"
