**Chapter 240 The Choice to Stay**

**18 Fears**

As Eugene succumbed to unconsciousness, Landon’s concern eclipsed everything else, even Chloe’s presence. He muttered fervently under his breath, his voice laced with urgency and fear.

“If anything happens to you, your dad will tear this whole city apart,” he murmured, his gaze locked onto the darkening bruise that marred Eugene’s wrist. The swelling was alarming; it was as if time was slipping away, and with it, Eugene’s chances of survival. Landon felt a knot tightening in his stomach—he couldn’t bear the thought of losing him.

Chloe remained silent, her heart heavy. She recognized that Landon’s harsh tone stemmed from a deep-seated fear rather than anger. She could see the worry etched across his face, and it mirrored her own internal turmoil.

Her mind was a whirlpool of Eugene’s words, echoing in her thoughts like a haunting melody.

“Are you worried about me?”

“Were you nervous about me?”

Did her response even matter now? He had posed those questions just moments before he collapsed, and the weight of them pressed down on her.

“Don’t head to the hospital. The Cosmos Group board meeting is about to start. All the major players are already in Capaville. If they find out Mr. Rosewood’s hurt, it’ll cause chaos. Go straight to his residence.”

Landon’s voice was firm, each word a command that left no room for argument. He turned sharply to Bruce, urgency radiating from him. “Tell Mr. Moses to bring the equipment and meds here. We need to avoid any extra attention.”

The car veered away from the hospital, taking an unfamiliar route. Chloe’s heart raced as a sense of déjà vu washed over her. Where were they going? And why did the path feel so eerily familiar? It dawned on her, a realization that sent a shiver down her spine—they were heading toward Riverville Prime Residence.

As the car pulled into the estate and stopped at Villa No.1, the pieces fell into place. She and Eugene had been neighbors all along, a twist of fate that felt almost surreal.

What were the odds? In a place with only eight villas, she resided in No.8, while he was in No.1.

The vehicle crept forward, and several bodyguards rushed out, their faces grim as they carefully lifted Eugene’s limp form and carried him inside. Just as the medics finished assessing the bite, David arrived, his expression a mix of concern and determination.

“Let me see him!” he demanded, his voice taut with anxiety as he rushed to join the others.

Chloe remained in the living room, standing just outside the door. It was slightly ajar, allowing her to catch glimpses of the chaos within. She could have walked in, could have pushed the door open, but the thought of it paralyzed her. Courage felt like a distant concept.

Why was she hesitating? Was she afraid? A person like her—did she even know what fear truly felt like?

Afraid of what? The image of Eugene’s eyes before he collapsed lingered in her mind, stirring something deep within her. She felt a tumult of emotions that she couldn’t quite grasp, a whirlwind of anxiety that threatened to consume her.
