I couldn’t give him the answer he wanted. After all, I remembered that girl had tied the knot !

I restarted the car, a slight smile curling my lips. “Good luck with that.”

“Thanks,” Mark replied cheerfully.

I drove him home, hesitating before speaking, “Your injury…”

“Don’t mind what Kathy’s been spreading around.” He took the medicine from me, effortlessly easing the awkwardness. “Steven’s at my place. He’ll patch me up.”

“Okay.” I felt a weight lift off my shoulders.”

It was not that I didn’t want to help him with his wound, but considering it was on his back, it would inevitably mean taking off his shirt. Given our relationship, it might not be entirely appropriate. He’d probably feel uncomfortable, too.

Mark suddenly looked at me as I was about to return the car keys. “Were you scared by what you’d seen today?“}

I clenched my palm. Seeing Violet lash out at Mark like that did frighten me. The whip cut deep.5

But at that moment, I shook my head. “I’ve seen worse.“}]

“That’s good.” He didn’t take the keys., “It’s the weekend. Taxis are hard to come by around here. Take the car. I’ve got another one.“[

Without making a fuss, after Mark stepped out, I texted Steven some wound care tips after Mark left and then quietly drove off.

The fingerprint analysis that Gary had sent over was on the entryway table at Riverview Estate. I had given them the code to my place.

A quick look at the report calmed me down. It confirmed that the fingerprints were indeed Margaret’s. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

After a shower and changing my clothes, I felt refreshed and headed to the hospital.

Arriving there, Bryant looked up. “What took you so long?“}

“Just got held up,” I replied.

We were on the verge of divorce. There was no need to explain everything. I waved the document folder. “But I brought the surprise you were waiting for.“)

“What is it?” Bryant raised an eyebrow, curious.

I handed it over. “You’ll see.“)

He’d understand how his grandfather had died once he looked into it a bit more. It was the person he kept protecting who had betrayed his closest kin.

He took it with one hand, his long fingers untangling the string of the envelope. As he was about to pull out the documents, Bryant’s phone rang. It was Margaret.

He frowned but rejected the call. As he started to extract the papers, Kevin’s phone went off.

Bryant could afford to reject the call, but Kevin couldn’t. He was responsible for Margaret’s travel arrangements.

Kevin answered, and whatever was said made him reply solemnly, “I’ll let Mr. Ferguson know right away.”

That sentence alone was enough to send a bad feeling through me. And those feelings were usually spot–on!\

The next moment, Kevin ended the call, looked at Bryant, and reported, “Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Ferguson called. Teresa’s awake.“%

Hearing it, I froze!}}

Bryant was initially stunned and quickly composed himself. “Really?“&

Kevin nodded. “It doesn’t seem like a bluff this time.”

It seemed it wasn’t their first time using this trick on Bryant.

Bryant put the documents aside and stood up eagerly, turning to me, “Teresa’s awake. Do you want to come see?*3

“Yes!” I agreed without hesitation. At least, I needed to see if it was a wake–up or another ruse.

Margaret greeted us at the door, clad in a winter dress. Her face lit up at the sight of Bryant, sweeping a colder glance my way us she did ‘Bry, you got h

Yeah Jane and i wanted to see Teresa. is now a good time?” Bryant asked sm
