Chapter 190:
In that instant, Davin sensed Wyatt’s intimidating aura echoing from Amelia. Hearing the decisive authority in her voice, he immediately complied without hesitation.
After carefully ensuring everything was settled, Amelia urged everyone else to get some rest. She herself remained stationed at Wyatt’s bedside.
Carlee stayed briefly, words forming but ultimately faltering when confronted with Amelia’s quiet determination. Letting out a resigned sigh, she silently left.
Fearing she might unintentionally aggravate his wounds, Amelia didn’t dare lie too close. Eventually, exhaustion overcame her, and she lay her head gently beside his hand, slipping into sleep. Every so often, however, anxiety forced her awake to ensure Wyatt remained stable.
When dawn’s pale glow filtered into the room, Amelia stirred again and jolted upright upon noticing Wyatt’s alarmingly red face. Urgently, she pressed her hand to his forehead, her heart racing at the burning heat. Without hesitation, she hit the emergency call button beside his bed. Marc rushed into the room swiftly, and Amelia instinctively stepped aside, granting him room.
After taking Wyatt’s temperature with a digital thermometer, Marc carefully lifted the bandage to check his back wound. When he noticed the wound’s pale, inflamed appearance, his brow furrowed deeply. “The rainwater contaminated the injury, causing infection and this severe fever. Medication isn’t an option in his current state. We’ll need to physically cool him down p>
Physical cooling meant repeatedly wiping his body with lukewarm water to reduce the fever. Marc was about to summon a nurse, but Amelia firmly insisted on doing it herself. Seeing the fierce determination in her eyes, Marc didn’t argue.
Outside, sunlight now spilled brightly through the windows. Meanwhile, the mangled car wreckage was discovered on the shore, quickly drawing media attention. As reports flooded the news, Rory stared intensely at his tablet screen.
When he recognized Wyatt’s license plate, excitement briefly danced in his eyes, only to fade into shock and disbelief as the reporter mentioned no fatalities had been confirmed.

With no casualties reported, the news labeled it a tragic accident likely caused by the storm’s slippery roads.
Rory’s rage exploded after he heard those words, and he violently hurled his tablet across the room. His face contorted with fury.
No fatalities? How was that even possible?
The realization that Wyatt was still alive filled Rory’s chest with choking anger, his fists clenching until they turned white. He had planned this moment meticulously, believing success was certain. Yet now, he had failed spectacularly.
Just then, Rory’s phone began ringing. Seeing the caller ID, he answered.
“You must have already seen the news, yes p>
Jaycob had spent the night sleepless as well. Although he had suspected that Wyatt wouldn’t die so easily, seeing the news confirm no casualties still left him disappointed. Wyatt seemed to have incredible luck. Even with the car exploding, he didn’t die.
Thinking carefully over the latest developments, Jaycob said bluntly, “You still have one final opportunity p>
“What do you mean by that?” Rory asked.
