The riding arena at that time looked deserted. Steve was getting ready with the fittings, and so was Alden.
Yes, Steve asked Alden to accompany him riding in the real sense. Alden is not really good at riding. But because Steve insisted, Alden finally followed Steve's will.
"You look really cool in that costume." Steve praised Alden who had prepared with his horse.
"Yes, I haven't rode for a long time" Alden replied stiffly.
They were unaware that someone had been following them.
"Den..why is your face so tense? Are you sick?" Steve paused for a moment to notice Alden carrying his horse.
"No Sir. Maybe because I'm a little tense." Alden tried to smile.
But just then, Alden saw someone in all black clothes running towards Steve.
The man was hiding something behind him. Alden who got a bad signal, he reflexively pushed Steve to the side until the horse held Steve surprised and ran to the field.
Alden's actions were appropriate. Steve fell down, but instead Alden's stomach was hit by a sharp object carried by the man.
Alden's trying to chase that guy. He managed to catch and crush him.
"Whose are you?" Alden struck the man with one hand, while the other held the man's wrist.
The man tried to fight Alden. He tried to move his hand that Alden had locked.
"Alden, let it go." cried Steve in panic. He's seen fresh blood drenching Alden's shirt.
Alden was still trying hard to threaten the man, even he had managed to throw the sharp object that was rusted far away. But a second later, Alden collapsed on top of the battered man below.
The man immediately pushed Alden, then ran away because the security guards came to them.
"Alden. gosh.. hurry up call an ambulance." cried Steve in panic. He did not dare to carelessly take Alden for fear of his injuries getting worse.

Husada Hospital
Steve got off in the ambulance. Since then he had only called out Alden's name while holding his hand. Steve was so scared that Alden was bleeding so much. And from the nurses' conversations in the ambulance along the way, they weren't sure if Alden would survive until the hospital.
The nurse took Alden to the IGD. The nurse must have recognized that the unconscious person they were carrying was Ben Sebastian's son. So, they called Sam so Sam could see Alden's situation.
Samuel ran as soon as his assistant told him that Alden was on the IGD. He went in and saw Alden's condition.
"This is what he used to stab him." A nurse gave Sam a sharp, rusty object.
"Damn." said Sam. Sam immediately sterilized himself, and used his operating clothes before touching Alden.
"He always makes trouble."
For Sam, sewing Alden's wounds wasn't a big deal. The problem was that the rusty tool could be dangerous for Alden.
"Mom.." - Igau Alden.
"Who brought him? Is Valen in front?" asked Sam with a tense face.
Sam didn't ask anymore because he started researching Alden's wounds deep enough.
"Do we need blood donation?" ask the nurse who saw Sam in trouble.
"no need. His blood type is rare. Just take a blood substitute."
"But, the Master in front of his blood type is the same" said the nurse hesitantly.
"No need to risk it, take what I tell you to." cried Sam annoyed. He started to panic because Alden was unstable.
Nurse out of IGD. And Steve intercepted him.
"Do I need a transfusion?" asked Steve worriedly.
"No need, Sir. Excuse me." the nurse passed by Steve.
Steve was sitting down. His appearance was already very messy. The blood coming from Alden's body had already begun to dry up on his hands and clothes.
"Alden. I hope you're okay." Steve picked up Alden's wallet next to him. Before entering, they removed Alden's attributes and left them to Steve.
"Daaaaad.." The scream echoed throughout the corridor.
Steve who just opened Alden's wallet immediately closed it back. He stood up as soon as his son approached.
"Dad's okay? Is anyone hurt?" Zoe checked Steve from top to bottom. He panicked because there was blood on Steve's hands and clothes.
"Dad's fine. Alden's hurt bad." Steve looks sorry.
"Thank God, Dad." said Zoe.
"Where, Valen?"
"He fainted when Zoe told him Alden was stabbed."
"Master..You should go back to the office now. It's information about the man who stabbed Alden." a man came behind Zoe to take Steve away.
"Zoe, you take care of Alden first. Dad go for a minute."
Zoe nodded. He stared at his Daddy who was walking with his man to leave the hospital.
Zoe is still waiting for Alden in front of the IGD, while Valen is in the car with Zoe's assistant.
Before long, the IGD lights turned Green. Sam came out still in his operating outfit. He was about to look for Valen, but there was only a woman in very sexy clothes.
"Doctor, how's Alden doing?" zoe asked, holding Sam's hand.
"You who?"
"Zoe Stevenson's. Your neighbor first." said Zoe as she looked at Sam.
Sam certainly remembers Zoe, but why was Zoe waiting for Alden? Why does Zoe look so panicked?
"I'll just tell Alden how he is doing to Valen. Where's she?" sam asked suspiciously.
"He's in the car" Zoe said stammering. Samuel didn't even bully Zoe and just left the woman without telling her about Alden's condition.
