Percival had everything at the hospital squared away in no time.

After a brief exchange at the doorstep, Vivienne and Sasha went their separate ways.

On the ride back, Percival couldn't help but notice the troubled look on Vivienne's face. "You think Abigail is behind this?" he ventured.

Vivienne pursed her lips, "It's just... the poison in Daphne's system, it seems familiar."

In the dead of night.

"Boom-"

A loud explosion echoed from the southwest.

Vivienne shot up from her bed, and there, by the window, stood Mr. Wolf. He turned, a grave look on his face, "Vivienne, the Perez family's been hit."

Her heart tightened, tossing the covers aside, she leapt up, "What happened?"

Percival was there, steadying her, "Dad called. The Perez's were attacked, someone lobbed ten mini bombs over their estate. The military's already been dispatched for search and rescue." A cold fury settled in Vivienne's eyes, "We're heading there now."

Arriving at the Perez estate, they found Sasha and Arthur already there.

Arthur, worried about Vivienne's well-being especially since she was over three months pregnant, hesitated to let her go further.

But Vivienne couldn't care less about her own state at that moment, turning to Sasha, she asked, "Mom, is anyone hurt? How about grandpa?"

Sasha, her face set in a grim line amid the chaos, replied, "It's still unclear. Stick with me, we'll go in and rescue them first."

"Okay!"

Without another word, they plunged into the fray, with Arthur and Percival following close behind, anxiety written all over their faces. The Perez estate was now nothing but rubble.
