One month later.
Quiana Sutton had been missing for a whole month, without a single trace; during that time, only Oliver Gale brought back one message.
It was about Quiana breaking into Heavenly Domain and killing Lone Falcon.
Of course, Oliver hid the fact that Quiana was injured.
Even though Oliver never mentioned Quiana's injury, Durrell Landon lay restless in his hospital bed, and after a month hospitalized, his wounds showed little improvement.
Oliver was helpless, resorting to giving Durrell some sedatives, telling him to get some rest; since he couldn't eat, he was kept alive with IV nutrients.
A month later, Durrell's once-chiseled features had grown gaunt; his cheeks sunken, his jaw covered in blue stubble.
The hospital gown that had barely been loose before now hung off him conspicuously.
Julian Haworth entered the hospital room and saw Durrell so wretched, so miserable, that in a rage he smashed his fist against the wall.
