Adrian was already pacing when Miranda stepped into the house.

Back and forth.

Sharp turns.

Measured steps that carried nothing but impatience and rage.

The moment the door opened, his head snapped in that direction.

But before he could move, Aunt Felicia rushed forward, reaching Miranda first.

“Madam…” she whispered urgently, her eyes scanning Miranda from head to toe. “Where have you been? Why didn’t you come back with him? He’s been waiting… he’s very angry.”

Miranda slipped off her heels sl

    Miranda stared at the screen for a second longer before finally answering the call.She didn’t bother putting it on speaker.But judging from Noah's and Melissa’s expressions, both of them were trying very hard to hear every word.“…Hello?” Miranda said quietly.Adrian’s voice came immediately.“Where are you?”No greeting.No concern.Just cold demand.Miranda leaned back slightly against the hospital bed.“What do you want, Adrian?”A short silence followed.“So you really don’t intend to come back home after spending the night with your lover?”Miranda, however, remained calm.“What do you want?” she repeated.This time, Adrian answered immediately.“My father is at the hospital.”Miranda stilled slightly.Adrian continued.“He’s demanding to see you.”Her fingers tightened faintly around the phone.“I’m waiting for you at home,” Adrian added. “We’ll go together.”Miranda scoffed softly.“That won’t be necessary.”“What?”“I’ll meet you at the hospital.”That earned immediate looks

    There’s immediate panic plus confusion on the woman’s face. Noah smiled.The kind of smile that warned people to start praying.The woman instinctively stepped back.“What are you trying to do?” she snapped, though her voice lacked the confidence it carried earlier.Noah loosened the cuff of his sleeve lazily.“Nothing much,” he replied. “Just helping you understand boundaries.”The woman frowned.“You think because you’re rich you can threaten me?”“No,” Noah corrected calmly. “I know I can.”Before she could react, Noah stepped forward.Fast.The sudden movement startled her badly enough that she stumbled backward until her back hit the hospital wall.A gasp escaped her lips.Noah stopped directly in front of her.Very intimidating.For the first time since arriving at the hospital, the woman finally looked afraid.Real fear.“I thought you wanted to know who I am. Why do you suddenly seem disinterested? I just want to show you who I am," Noah teased. “I… errm…” The woman struggle

    Then his gaze lowered.And landed on the puddle near her feet.A slow smile appeared on his face.Petty.The woman turned sharply toward one of the guards again.“If anything happens to my daughter, all of you will answer for it!”Noah picked a pebble on the floor and threw it hard in her direction. Her foot slipped.“Ahh!”She lost balance completely and crashed hard onto the wet floor.The scream echoed loudly.Several people gasped.Noah immediately straightened.“Oh no,” he muttered without emotion.Then casually walked toward her.The woman groaned painfully as she tried to sit up.“My waist…”Noah crouched slightly beside her.“Careful,” he said smoothly. “Let me help you.”The woman looked relieved instantly and grabbed his arm.The moment she tried to rise, Noah “accidentally” loosened his grip.She dropped right back down.Hard.“Ahhh!”Noah blinked.“…Oops.”The woman stared at him in disbelief.“You…!”“My mistake,” Noah replied calmly. “These hospital floors are slippery.

    Silence.Complete silence.“Is Aunt Ava out of the hospital?” Melissa whispered to Miranda. She shook her head. “That’s not possible. Colin and I had gone to see her. Her condition hasn’t improved that much to be here.” Melissa turned back to the nurse. “Are you sure you aren’t mistaken about the person she is looking for?” The nurse shook her head. “That’s what she said,” the nurse replied nervously. Melissa nodded. “And she’s really making a scene at the hospital. That’s why we had to keep her outside the premises.” The nurse added. “…What?”Melissa immediately turned to Noah. “Could it be that Mrs. Jones returned early?” Noah’s expression darkened instantly.“Do you think at all?” He exclaimed. “That’s impossible,” he said sharply. “Aunt and Uncle won’t return for two days' time. I already confirmed their flight.”He then gave Melissa a very weird look. “And even if they did, this is the family’s hospital; they can never be kept outside. Or even cause nuisance at the

    Melissa folded her arms immediately. “What issue at hand?”Noah looked at Miranda first before speaking.“Mr. and Mrs. Jones are returning to the country in two days,” he said. “And Colin might not be back until then as well.”Melissa rolled her eyes, confused. She didn’t understand the point Noah was trying to make now. Miranda’s fingers tightened slightly around the bedsheet.Noah continued.“This will be the first time you officially meet them as their daughter.” His gaze moved between the two women. “Which means she cannot be lying in a hospital bed when they arrive.”Melissa blinked.Then blinked again.“Wait… hold on.” She pointed at Miranda. “Jones?”Miranda looked away slightly.Melissa narrowed her eyes. “What Jones? What parents? Help me out here.”Noah sighed softly.“You didn’t know?” “She’s been on a business trip for some days now.” Miranda answered. “Exactly!” Melissa exclaimed. “And it seems a thousand things have happened while I was away.” Noah exhaled again.

    Miranda didn’t answer.Not a word.Not even a shake of her head.Nothing.Just silence.Noah knew she wouldn’t answer the question even before he asked. He just couldn’t hold in the urge to ask. And somehow…Her silence said too much. It didn’t reduce the impact it made despite the fact that it was expected. Noah’s jaw tightened.His gaze lingered on her for a second longer… waiting… hoping… for something he knew would never happen.“Right,” he muttered under his breath.Then he turned.And walked out.The door clicked softly behind him.Noah didn’t go far.He stopped just outside the room, his hand still resting on the handle as if he hadn’t fully decided whether to leave or go back in.“What the hell is wrong with me?” he muttered.He ran a hand through his hair, pacing once along the corridor.It didn’t make sense.None of this did.He had just met her.Yesterday.That was it.Yet here he was…Irritated.Frustrated.Because she might still be in love with another man.Her husban
