Chapter 586:

In the hospital.

“Shouldn’t you have that arm looked at first?” a nurse suggested gently.

“It can wait. I’ll stay here until Amelia comes out.” Wyatt’s reply was steady, but his eyes never shifted from the closed door of the examination room.

Amelia had collapsed the instant their plane touched the runway.

The sight of her motionless form had shattered Wyatt’s usual composure, panic seizing him.

Since she had been rushed into the examination room, he had not once stepped away from his vigil at the door.

After thirty long minutes, the door finally opened. Wyatt immediately closed the distance, his anxious gaze fixed on the physician who stepped out. “Tell me—how is she p>

“Your wife just fainted from exhaustion and low blood sugar. She’ll recover soon. There’s no need to worry p>

At that moment, a nurse wheeled Amelia out.

Wyatt’s chest tightened at the sight of her pale features. “When will she wake up?” he asked.

“Once the IV drip finishes, she should regain consciousness p>

Only after Amelia had been settled into a hospital room did Wyatt allow the nurse to tend to the wounds on his arm.

Not long after, Davin and Hiram arrived in Amelia’s hospital room.

After receiving Wyatt’s urgent call, they had caught the first available flight to Simgan, rushing into the hospital room out of breath.

“Mr. Stewart, how is Mrs. Stewart—” Davin began, but Wyatt silenced him with a quiet gesture.

Gently adjusting the blanket over Amelia’s body, Wyatt rose and made his way toward the doorway.

Davin and Hiram followed his lead, stepping outside and shutting the door softly behind them.

“Mr. Stewart, is your wife alright p>

“She is fine p>

Relief washed over Davin’s face at the reassurance.

Wyatt’s tone shifted. “Is there any progress on the investigation p>

“Time was short, so we couldn’t uncover everything about the Russell family, but we did gather their essential background p>

Wyatt’s silence prompted Davin to continue, “They are an old lineage in Simgan with deep roots, though they’ve been in decline. Still, their presence holds weight locally p>

“Contact all of the Russell family’s business partners and have them cancel their contracts. I’ll cover the penalties and offer them ten times the compensation afterward,” Wyatt said.

Then, turning to Hiram, he issued his next command. “Take a team to their house outside the city. Dig into their dealings—everything they’ve concealed over the years. When you find something useful, notify me immediately p>

“Yes, sir p>

Within minutes, both Davin and Hiram left as swiftly as they had come.

Their departure was witnessed by Shepard and his group, who caught sight of them disappearing into the elevator.

Shepard’s eyes shifted toward Wyatt. “What do you intend to do next p>

Before Wyatt could answer, he added gravely, “The Russell family has been here for generations. Their alliances run deep. Taking them down won’t be easy p>

“In three days, there won’t be a trace of the Russell family left in Simgan.” Wyatt’s words were calm, almost cold, as he pushed the door open.

Shepard stared after him, stunned.

He had always believed Wyatt would choose a calculated moment to strike.

But now, he saw that Wyatt had already resolved to destroy the Russell family without hesitation, his composure only masking the fire beneath.

As the doctor had predicted, Amelia stirred soon after the IV drip was finished.

“Amelia, you’re awake p>

Seeing the group of men gathered around her bed, Amelia managed a faint smile.

She tried to speak but soon broke into a cough.

Wyatt swiftly raised a cup of water to her lips, guiding the straw until she had taken several sips. She turned her eyes to him. “What happened to me p>

“Nothing serious. The doctor said you’ve simply been too tired. You need rest p>

As Wyatt eased her upright, Amelia’s glance dropped instinctively to his injured arm.

“Don’t worry; my wounds have been treated,” he assured her before she could ask.

“How are Karin and the others?” Amelia asked.

Wyatt paused, his gaze flicking toward Shepard and the others. Since Amelia’s collapse, his world had narrowed to her alone, leaving the elders in Shepard, Weldon, and Kelsey’s care.

“Everything has been handled,” Shepard replied.

He had personally taken Karin and the others to the hospital and contacted their children. He had also covered the losses of their burned homes, ensuring full compensation. Though they had initially refused, Kelsey’s persuasion had eventually made them accept it.

As they spoke, Weldon entered, carrying an assortment of food. After Amelia had eaten, weariness overtook her once more. Wyatt brushed a strand of hair from her face. “If you’re tired, go ahead and sleep p>

“What about you? Don’t you need rest as well?” Amelia asked. Though no exhaustion showed in him, he gave her a faint smile and lay down beside her. Amelia soon drifted off to sleep.

After a while, the shrill ring of Wyatt’s phone pierced the quiet, but he silenced it instantly.

Seeing Amelia remain undisturbed, he quickly stepped into the hallway, answering the call in a clipped tone. “What is it p>
