After Colette’s reminder, Elena realized that she could not afford to underestimate Hugh.

Elena said, “Hugh isn’t stupid. If he sees you with me, do you think he’ll try to come after you?”

Colette stuck out her tongue playfully.

“Relax. I’ll keep an eye on you from a distance. Just so you know, someone else will manage the bar for the time being. Don’t think I’m trying to shirk my responsibilities.”

In truth, Colette was looking forward to having a few days off.

She used to enjoy spending time

    Asher thought for a moment, as though searching for the best way to explain it. After a while, Elena asked, “Well?”Asher finally replied, “It’s just a normal relationship. You know how things are between Robin and me. We’ll never be close to each other.”Although Bradley was still in a coma in the hospital and there were no direct conflicts between them at the moment, Asher and Robin both knew there was a great deal of old resentment between them, making it impossible for them to become true friends.Elena asked in confusion, “That’s true, but why would he tell you then?”Asher thought for a moment before saying, “Maybe because he doesn’t want you to be with Duncan.”Asher himself had been surprised when he received the message from Robin, but he hadn’t asked why. He had simply thanked him and left it at that.Elena was speechless.She couldn’t think of anything to say for a moment, but she soon realized that it actually made sense.If Robin’s relationship with Asher was reasonably g

    Elena smiled and said, “You’ve been visiting me every day. Aren’t you afraid Tristan will notice?”The Bennett family’s situation was complicated now.On the other hand, it seemed that things were no longer complicated in quite the same way. At the very least, the Bennett family now had one common enemy: Asher.They had united against an external threat, and most of their internal conflicts had disappeared.Elena paused for a moment.Sometimes she thought that if Tristan had considered things this way earlier, Asher would never have entered their lives, and things would never have reached this point.They had brought Asher from Silverton City, and now they had to think of a way to get rid of him.But it was obvious that Asher had no intention of leaving easily.Bringing someone to Brighton City was easy, but getting them to leave was anything but.Hearing that, Asher laughed.“So, are you afraid?”Elena replied, “Of course. Who isn’t afraid of death?”The Bennett family was incredibly

    She had heard that Julian was now dating a woman from a prominent family and was about to marry her. Julian wasn’t stupid, and it was obvious that he had no intention of marrying Nora.Nora was furious.She had believed that Julian loved her and that she would eventually be able to marry into the Mercer family.But Julian had made it perfectly clear that he would never marry her.That was when Nora realized that men from Brighton City’s prominent families cared far more about their family’s reputation and honor than those from smaller cities. They weren’t easily willing to let their emotions influence their decisions.Nora regretted everything, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what she regretted.Even if she hadn’t come to Brighton City, staying in Silverton City wouldn’t have given her a better future.In the end, it made no difference.She had no way out.And yet, she believed everything that had happened to her was because of Elena.Her hatred for Elena grew stronger, and she said

    Elena tried to comfort her.“He’s the type who doesn’t understand feelings easily. If you keep trying, maybe you’ll be able to win his heart.”Elena realized that persistence might be the key with a man like Robin.Colette said, “Yes. Even if you hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have given up. He’s the first man I’ve ever liked, and giving up now would be embarrassing for me.”Elena felt relieved.Colette was stronger than she had expected.They stopped talking about Robin because the subject was making Colette sad.Then Elena suddenly remembered Hugh and asked, “By the way, did Hugh leave?”Colette shook her head.“I don’t know. I haven’t contacted him. He’s difficult to reach.”Then she looked at Elena, waiting for her to continue, before saying, “But we can ask Annabelle. She must know.”Elena shook her head.“I was just curious. I’m not really worried about him.”Colette said, “Yes, I don’t think he left. Since Annabelle summoned him, perhaps it wasn’t simply about challenging you. Sh

    If Elena hadn’t been worried about Robin’s reaction, she would have pushed Colette toward him herself.Robin scoffed.“There’s no need for that. Take care of yourself first.”Elena looked at Colette, who remained completely silent, and was at a loss for words.Under the table, Elena lightly pinched Colette and gave her a questioning look.Colette whispered, “What?”Elena remained silent.A few moments later, Colette understood what Elena had been trying to do. Her face flushed as she looked at Robin.She asked hesitantly, “Mr. Bennett, is there someone you like?”The answer to this question was extremely important to her.Robin looked between Colette and Elena before asking her directly, “Do you like me?”Colette was stunned.The question was so direct that it completely caught her off guard.“Yes.”She nodded, her voice barely audible.Robin said calmly, “I know.”His response was ambiguous.Colette was confused and thought to herself, Is that a rejection?But Robin didn’t leave her

    When Elena noticed how anxious she was, she reassured her.“Don’t worry. The chances of the surgery succeeding are very high. And if you’re worried about the lead surgeon, I can ask the head of the neurosurgery department to perform the operation himself.”Although Elena was confident in her own skills, she knew that having the department head perform the surgery might give the patient an even greater sense of reassurance, so she didn’t mind involving him.But Aurelia shook her head.“There’s no need. I trust you.”Elena’s willingness to help her despite having no personal connection with her made Aurelia trust her. She also believed in Elena’s medical abilities.Elena was happy to hear that.Earning a patient’s trust was one of the reasons she had worked so hard all these years.By the time Aurelia was settled into the hospital, it was already late.When Elena left the hospital, she was surprised to see that Colette was still waiting for her.Elena asked, “Why haven’t you gone home y
