“You did this to yourself and ended up in the hospital, Tara.”
Tara let out a disbelieving scoff. “So your first words after the doctor leaves are a lecture.”
“I’m serious, Tara.”
“So am I.”
They held each other’s gaze, both struggling to contain their emotions. Until Adrian was th

Liora looked intently at Helena. She actually had a small request, but it seemed Helena did not approve. Even so, she was already very happy just to be able to visit Tara this time."Yes, Grandma," Liora said softly.As soon as she was given permission, the little girl immediately walked toward Tara's bed. But her steps slowed when only a few paces remained between them. Tara watched her quietly. Liora clearly wanted to come closer, very much so, but at the same time she seemed hesitant, as though she was not sure whether she was allowed to do that."Liora."The little girl immediately lifted her head."Why are you standing over there?"Liora seemed to bite her lower lip for a moment before finally stepping closer again. "I was afraid I'd bother you."Tara's smile instantly softened. "You never bother me."That answer made Liora's eyes brighten slightly. With a little more courage, she finally sat down in the chair beside the bed. Even so, the distance between them still felt strange.

Tara clicked her tongue in annoyance.Not long afterward, Gilbert took his leave. He still had things to do, and Tara did not stop him.Once the door closed again, the atmosphere in the room gradually returned to calm. Only the soft hum of the air conditioner could be heard, along with the occasional sound of nurses' footsteps passing through the corridor outside. Susan, who had been standing by the window, chose to give Tara some space. The woman simply sat on the guest sofa, occasionally observing the surroundings, while Tara's attention was no longer focused on the company's internal audit.Slowly, she pulled one of the folders Gilbert had just delivered toward her. The gray folder looked ordinary enough. No different from the dozens of documents that passed across her desk almost every day. Yet somehow, as she opened the first page, a heavy feeling slowly filled her chest.Her gaze moved from one page to the next. Financial reports, transaction records, fund disbursement approvals

"Why did it take you so long to answer your phone?"Adrian's voice on the other end made Tara let out a long sigh. "If there's nothing important, then you should—""Tara." Adrian's voice suddenly softened. "I'm just worried about you."Tara clicked her tongue quietly. She actually had no desire to respond to Adrian's calls, but the man had been bothering her ever since the Zoom meeting ended. Even though she had a lot of work to do. Her inbox was already filling up with emails, but..."I'm fine," Tara replied flatly."You're seriously continuing to work?" Adrian asked. "What about your condition? I don't want anything bad to happen to you.""You don't need to worry about me, Adrian," Tara said. "If there's nothing important to discuss, I need to work.""Wait, Tara—"Tara outright ended the call. She felt there was no longer anything that needed to be discussed with Adrian. Her focus right now was on several documents that required further review.Fortunately, the man stopped bothering

The room grew a little quieter. Victor did not answer immediately, and his gaze remained fixed on Adrian for several moments. Long enough to make anyone feel as though they were being evaluated.But in the end, the man simply rose from his chair, walked over to another desk positioned on the right side of the room, and opened one of the drawers. A few seconds later, a thick folder was in his hand. Victor approached and handed it over without hesitation."Then go ahead and review it."Adrian blinked in disbelief. Reflexively, he accepted the folder with his mouth slightly open. He had not expected it to be that easy. "Have you... already looked through it?"Victor had already returned to his chair and said, "I haven't opened the copy that's in that folder."Wait, why was all of this so easy? Too easy, in fact, and that was exactly what made it feel strange. He had expected Victor to ask for a reason. Or at least to want to know why he was suddenly requesting the report again.But no. V

"Have you made sure that document is on Victor's desk?" Adrian asked as he settled into the driver's seat. He had gotten up earlier than usual, skipping the breakfast that had been prepared because there was something he needed to take care of at the office. He had only left a message with one of the staff members to deliver necessities to Kara and Liora at the hospital."Yes, sir," Jimmy replied, his voice sounding apologetic. "I tried to stop it, but it seems the audit staff are being extremely strict about protecting the confidentiality of the files."Adrian let out a restrained growl. There was no other way except to face Victor directly. Truly, this month had drained Adrian's energy and time. Besides, why did Victor have to return to this country? Didn't he already have plenty of work in Swithland? And his return had been so sudden that Adrian had not had enough time to bury certain documents that were not meant for just anyone to know about."Damn it," he muttered."What should

That answer left Tara with no rebuttal. For a few seconds, neither of them spoke. But unlike an awkward silence, the atmosphere between them felt comfortable."Yes, Dad. I know."On the other end, Victor let out a relieved sigh. "I'm glad to hear that."Tara frowned. "Hear what?""That you sound much better than you did yesterday. The fact that you're already protesting some of my decisions is proof enough."That made Tara laugh."Thank you, Dad.""You can thank me in a more useful way."Tara could already guess where this conversation was heading. "By following all the doctor's instructions?""Exactly."Tara laughed softly. Victor truly never missed an opportunity to remind her of that."So?" Victor continued. "Are you still planning to work today?"Tara's gaze shifted to the laptop Susan had already placed on the small table beside her bed. "Yes."A brief silence followed."The answer I expected." Victor let out a short sigh. "Even though I was hoping you'd say something different."
