Chapter 187: Happy New Year

Two full weeks had passed since the accident.

Seren was stable.
Keanu, though still in recovery, sat beside him in a wheelchair, looking far better than Regal remembered from that dreadful night.
Regal exhaled.
The hallway of the private hospital floor was unusually calm.
Gwendolyn was seated a few chairs down, watching him occasionally.
Simon, Darren, and Samantha had stationed themselves outside, managing the press, the fans, the inevitable waves of chaos still trying to find their way in.
But at this moment, it was just Rock... Gwendolyn... and Keanu.
Regal’s eyes fell on the wheelchair again.
