prepare dinner for Finley. She knew he might be weary after his long discussions with Edmond and wanted to offer him a moment of solace.
Daphne watched in silent admiration as Samantha deftly managed every task with unwavering dedication, her respect for Samantha growing with each passing moment.
With the meal carefully prepared, Samantha carried it to Finley's room, her heart filled with hope that the evening might bring some peace to his troubled mind. But as soon as she entered. Finley's voice, sharp and cold, cut through the air. "Get out!" Samantha paused, stunned by the unexpected harshness. "Finley, what's wrong? Did things not go well with Edmond?

Samantha endured unimaginable suffering, her body wracked with pain as she teetered on the edge of consciousness, countless times vomiting blood. Yet, her resolve never wavered. Finally, after three agonizing days, she managed to prepare the antidote successfully. Clutching the precious vial, Samantha returned to Dean Residence, her boss by her side. As she entered the house, Daphne's cries pierced the silence, a wail of despair echoing throughNôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Mr. Dean! Don't scare me! Mr. Dean, wake up... Old Mr. Dean hasn't returned yet. How could you go like this, Mr. Dean? Please wake up!"
Samantha's steps faltered, her heart pounding with dread. The sight of Finley, motionless on the bed, drained her of all strength, her legs nearly buckling beneath her. "Finley..."
Somehow, she reached his side, her trembling hand clutching the antidote. Tears welled in her eyes as she gazed upon his still form, willing him to hear her words. "I'm back, she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "Finley, I'm back. Look, I've brought the antidote for you. This..."
