Yuri felt her entire world collapse in a single breath.
The VIP room fell silent the moment the door opened.
Melissa Larson entered first while crying quietly against Sena Young's shoulder. Behind them were Ian Young, Mitzu, Jiho, and Yejin.
The atmosphere inside the room immediately became heavy.
Yuri was already awake now.
She sat beside Isla's bed while holding her hand gently, almost as if afraid Isla would disappear if she let go.
Meanwhile, Jacob stood near the IV stand, quietly checking the flow of the medicine bag connected to Isla's arm.
The moment Isla saw Melissa crying—
Her brows immediately furrowed.
"Mom?"
Her voice came out weak due to the smoke inhalation, but the concern in it was unmistakable.
Melissa lifted her tear-filled eyes toward her.
And Isla's chest tightened instantly.
"Why are you crying?" Isla asked anxiously. "Is it Yeongjae or Dad?"
Ian Young answered instead.
"It's Yeongjae."
The room turned colder.
