**A Promise Hidden in the Quiet Rain by Adrian Hale**
**Chapter 295: The Real Savior**
Madilyn stood there, her heart pounding, her mind racing, until Arthur finally disappeared from her view. The moment he was out of sight, an icy realization washed over her—he was truly turning his back on her.
He was doing everything she had explicitly asked him not to do.
The thought of him losing his position as the CEO of Myers Group sent a shiver down her spine. That position was not just a title; it was power, influence, and the very foundation upon which their lives were built.
And then there was Charles… she felt a surge of anger. He had better stay out of Arthur’s way. If not, Madilyn’s jaw clenched, her expression darkening. That secret they shared—her secret—could not see the light of day. It had to remain buried, no matter the cost.

In the sterile confines of the ICU room, a tense atmosphere hung in the air. Blaine, the renowned neurosurgeon, meticulously examined Charles from head to toe, his brow furrowed in concentration. He had been anxiously waiting outside the door ever since Arthur’s press conference had begun, knowing full well the emotional turmoil it would unleash.
Charles had watched the live stream, of course. The anger and betrayal coursed through him like a raging river. He was well aware of the chaos unfolding outside these walls.
“I need to see Arthur. Call him! Now!” he insisted, his voice rising with urgency, his eyes wide with desperation.
His agitation escalated, and soon he found himself gasping for breath. The medical team sprang into action, performing emergency treatment. Blaine, who had been on standby, rushed into the room with a sense of purpose. Moments later, Charles’s breathing began to steady, his vital signs gradually returning to normal.
“I knew you’d get worked up, so I waited outside,” Blaine remarked, pulling the quilt up around Charles’s shoulders with a practiced ease. He stood beside the bed, a hint of pride in his tone as he continued, “Your body’s been through a lot. The fact that you woke up at all? That just proves how good I am at my job.”
Charles stared at him, speechless, his mind racing. This was Blaine, the world-class neurosurgeon Arthur had spent an exorbitant amount of money to find. He had literally pulled him back from the brink of death.
Gratitude washed over Charles, but Blaine’s words felt like blunt instruments, striking him without mercy. The doctor’s lack of filter was disconcerting.
“Alright, now you need to rest. Don’t let your emotions take control,” Blaine continued, his tone shifting to a more serious note. “Your grandson brought this on himself! Chloe deserves someone far better than him. And as for Arthur… tsk, even tossing him in the trash wouldn’t be enough to rid the world of his ugliness.” With that, he shook his head, gathered his tools, and turned to leave.
“Wait… what do you mean by that?” Charles struggled to sit up, but weakness clung to him like a heavy blanket. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t muster the strength to rise.
Blaine glanced back, a knowing smile playing on his lips, and with a graceful turn, he exited the room.
In that moment, Charles felt a pang of realization. There was something more to Blaine’s words, something that hinted at a deeper conflict. What kind of doctor spoke like that? Something was amiss.
