Threaten Me With My Son, Lose Me Forever

Miranda Payne is Ekason's most renowned genius pediatric surgeon. With a scalpel in her hand, she has saved countless children's lives. The media hails her as Ekason's "guardian of children". But right now, she is pinned against her office desk, a cold gun barrel pressed firmly against her wrist. The man holding the gun is her husband, Jerome Cooper, heir to the Cooper family and the one who controls both Ekason's criminal underworld and its legitimate power. Dressed in a black suit, he radiates a chilling, murderous air. Behind him, one of his men holds up a tablet. On the screen, a video plays. Their five-year-old son, Fred Cooper, is being forcibly transferred out of the hospital. Fred is burning with a high fever. His cheeks are flushed, his face twisted in pain. He murmurs weakly, "Mommy…" "Freddie!" Miranda cries out, her heart shattering at the sight of him. "Miranda, you have no choice with the two surgeries today," Jerome says coldly, pressing the gun harder against her wrist. "You either save Dami first, or I destroy your hand and let both Dami and Freddie die together."
