At that moment, she was consumed by self-loathing, feeling powerless to assist Miranda when she needed help the most.

The men present grinned with sinister delight.

Simultaneously, Miranda continued to undress, each sound of her unbuttoning shirt and the men's evil laughter seeming amplified in Lilah's ears.

Tears welled up in Lilah's eyes as fury surged within her.

"Stop! Stop!" she screamed, finally managing to dislodge the towel from her mouth. Her voice was a roar of raw anger.

Darian waved his hand in annoyance, instructing his men in black to restrain her further.

As Miranda's outerwear was removed, revealing her white bra, Darian's excitement was palpable; he was almost overcome with the urge to pull Miranda into his arms immediately.

Miranda took a deep breath, her resolve wavering despite her attempt to remain composed. She couldn't help but tremble under the weight of the situation.

“Hurry up!" Darian demanded, his voice laced with menace. "Or I swear I'll kill her!"

He drew his pistol and aimed it at Lilah's forehead, his anger boiling over.

Bang! At that moment, the door was forcefully kicked open, anda throng of bodyguards in black suits stormed in.

Lilah stared at the scene in disbelief, struggling to comprehend what was happening.

But when she saw Gerard among the bodyguards, a wave of relief washed over her.

"Gerard, catch Darian!" she shouted.

Realizing the dire situation, Darian made a desperate dash for a small door on the right, hoping to escape.

But Gerard wasn't about to let him slip away. He tackled Darian with unyielding determination. As Gerard restrained him, Darian let out a wretched scream, his curses echoing with venomous fury.

Once Darian was subdued, Lilah quickly removed her coat and wrapped it around Miranda.

After the rescue, Gerard first took them to the hospital to administer the antidote. Following that, he ensured they underwent a thorough medical examination by the doctors.

Miranda's injuries were all external, but Lilah wasn't so fortunate. Her injuries were more severe.

Miranda offered to assist with Lilah's treatment, but the condition was that Lilah had to lie still in bed for more than ten days.

Lilah agreed without hesitation.

The mere thought of spending so much time with her younger sister filled Lilah with an extra dose of happiness. Even the daily pain from the treatment seemed more bearable.

"Miranda, do you want to reconnect with our father? He may already know of your existence and must miss you terribly," Lilah asked tentatively.

And she did this for Absolon.
