Chapter 1017:
The battle escalated, their fight threatening to tear the ward apart.
Then—footsteps. Hurried.
Approaching fast.
Both Yelena and Alina snapped their heads toward the door just as uniformed figures rushed into the room.
Apparently, the security guards had caught wind of the chaos unfolding in the ward and rushed over to investigate.
Alina stiffened. A flicker of panic flashed in her eyes.
She knew she had no time left. If she kept fighting, she’d be cornered.
Without warning, she raised her hand, the black umbrella snapping up to deflect Yelena’s next strike. Then, in one fluid motion, she leapt backward, flipping out the window and vanishing into the night.
Yelena’s muscles tensed as she started forward, wanting to give chase—but exhaustion dragged at her limbs. The fight had drained her more than she’d realized.
All she could do was watch as Alina disappeared into the darkness, frustration simmering beneath her skin.
This wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.
The score between them would be settled. It was only a matter of time.
Right now, her priority was to safeguard everyone in the ward and make sure they remained out of harm’s way.
Yelena inhaled deeply, steadying herself before turning toward the hospital bed to check on Domenic.
She understood that while this battle had come to a temporary halt, even greater challenges loomed on the horizon.
Domenic’s convulsions had subsided, yet the electrocardiogram continued to display erratic fluctuations. Yelena recommended adjusting the sedative dosage.
She knew his condition was critical and couldn’t afford any delays—he needed to be moved to a secure location immediately.

After ensuring Domenic was stable, Yelena shifted her attention to the other patient—Austin.
Though he remained quiet in his bed, his exhaustion was clear in the pallor of his face.
The second Yelena returned to his side, his eyes sharpened with concern.
“I think I heard fighting next door p>
He had wanted to get up, to go to her, but he was too weak. And deep down, he knew that rushing in recklessly wouldn’t have helped—it would have only made things worse. Waiting had been the smarter choice.
Yelena gave him a reassuring smile. “It’s fine now,” she murmured, her voice steady.
But his gaze dropped to her hands—bloodstained. His expression darkened, a frown tugging at his lips. “Next time, don’t throw yourself into danger like that p>
She waved it off. “Yeah, yeah. I hear you p>
Austin sighed. He knew her too well—knew she wasn’t going to listen, no matter how many times he told her.
At that moment, the door burst open, and security guards flooded into the room. They froze, momentarily taken aback by the chaos that had unfolded.
Yelena quickly explained the situation, then ordered them to relocate Domenic and Austin to other rooms.
The guards snapped into action immediately. Domenic was secured onto a gurney and carefully transported down the hall to another ward. Yelena helped Austin out of bed, steadying him as they followed behind.
