"Hello, Ansel." Nika looked towards Ansel and spoke up. He didn't notice Erica's presence in the room."Nika, what brings you here?" Ansel asked, surprised. "Didn't you say you were busy tonight and wouldn't come here?""I came here to report the results of your request. I have completed..."Nika paused in the middle of speaking, noticing Ansel's twitching eyebrows, a gesture that seemed to signal something to Nika. Nika didn't understand anything, so Ansel recklessly turned to look at Erica. Nika followed Ansel's lead and briefly felt confused upon discovering Erica's presence. However, Nika quickly regained control of her emotions."Erica... Good evening. It's nice to see you again."Hearing Nika call, Erica pretended to be polite and said, "Hello.""I didn't know you were here," Nika hesitantly replied. "Did I disturb you? If I did, I apologize.""I just came here to check on things a little," Erica explained. "I'll be leaving now."After speaking, Erica picked up the items on the t

Erica had no idea where Vera was taking her until the girl stopped in front of the hospital's surveillance room. Seeing this, Erica immediately became curious and asked, "Why did you bring me here?" Erica's eyes were fixed on the door in front of her, trying to speculate about the possible outcomes. The blonde girl turned back as if realizing Erica's restlessness. Vera smiled warmly and said, "My friend has found the footage from that day. When I received the notification, I immediately contacted you because I knew you were eagerly waiting for it." Erica suddenly remembered what had happened. At that time, after regaining consciousness, Erica tried to find out about her rescuer. Unfortunately, Ansel did not leave any personal information behind. Erica requested to review the surveillance cameras at the hospital, but she received news that the hospital's surveillance room was undergoing upgrades and repairs. Due to the chaotic state of cleaning, organizing, and an employee's mistake,

Not only does Erica agree with Nika's statement, but Erica also has to admit that destiny knows how to cleverly arrange things, allowing Erica and Ansel to come to know each other in a complex, intriguing, and comical way. Is this a mere joke? Erica hopes not. Her life was unhappy enough. Erica doesn't want to participate in any games of fate anymore. Closing her thoughts, Ansel turned to Nika, sighing before saying: "I never expected such a strange coincidence to happen in my life." Ansel shared his true thoughts: "I am still feeling overwhelmed by it. I don't know what to comment on it at this moment." "I understand your feelings," Nika reassured. "For someone like me, who is an outsider, I find it hard to believe. So how can you accept it so easily? The emergence of doubt is entirely understandable." Ansel nodded in agreement with Nika and then looked at Erica, expressing his curiosity. "Erica, how did you know that I was the person who rescued you?" "Since that day, I have alw

"Wretched. Those evil people deserve severe punishment. How could they commit such heinous acts?" Nika gritted his teeth and exclaimed after Erica finished recounting her pain. While Nika expressed his outrage and indignation based on his personal perspective, Erica sat quietly, bowing her head and looking down at the floor. This is the first time Erica has shared her story with others. Erica had a lot of concerns at first, as well as fear. Fear of being ridiculed, mocked, and, worst of all, pitied. Fortunately, Ansel and Nika turned out to be different. They were kind-hearted and showed a great deal of respect for Erica. Having said all that, Erica felt that her heart was actually comfortable and relieved. Erica seemed to let go of the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in the last few minutes. Ansel and Nika not only listened attentively to Erica's story, but they also refrained from passing judgment or criticism, and, most importantly, they showed no pity towards her

"Why did you lie about going on a business trip when you're actually here?" The girl's voice was full of reproach. The embrace tightened. Ansel felt suffocated. "Why, Ansel? You are excessive." Ansel's hands hang loosely at Desi's sides; he's caught between his conflicting desires to either reciprocate the hug or push Desi away. It felt like his heart was being split in two, like his mind. "I can explain." Ansel, after a moment of awkwardness, gradually regained his composure. He quickly thought of a response to address the girl's question. "Desi, the truth is..." "Why did you do that?" The girl interrupted, her voice heavy with serious questioning. "If I hadn't found out, were you planning to hide it from me forever?" "It's not like that. I..." Ansel tried to explain something, but the girl didn't give him a chance. She continued to interject, showing her excess. "I don't want to hear your excuses, Ansel. You're a deceitful person. You lied to me." There were sobbing sounds comin
