Michael quickly realized he had crossed a line. He let out an awkward laugh and withdrew his hand.For a moment, there was an awkward silence in the air.“You…”“I…”Either neither of them spoke, or they ended up talking at the exact same time. It was an unintentional synchronicity that came from nowhere.Their eyes met, and they smiled.Michael spoke first. “You go ahead.”Ivanka shook her head. “No, you first.”Michael refused and insisted, “I don’t really have anything important to say. I was just trying to ease the awkwardness. Your matter is probably more important.”Hearing that, Ivanka did not hold back anymore and asked, “How long was I unconscious? What exactly happened that day at Fawn Hill? I only remember drowning. Everything after that is a blur. I didn’t even know Sandy was the one who saved me.”Michael sighed and started answering her questions one by one.“You were unconscious for three days and two nights. Candice and I took turns watching over you to make

“There’s no need for thanks between us. Right now, the most urgent matter is figuring out if what happened to you was really just an accident.” Michael paused for a second. His gaze shifted to a distant point outside the window. When he spoke again, his voice was laced with an unmistakable edge of danger. “Or was it murder?”Ivanka felt a chill run through her.Murder. Yes, that was exactly what it was. What happened was a premeditated act that was aimed at her. However, Sandy was the one who ended up getting hurt. If… if Sandy never woke up, if she spent the rest of her life as nothing more than a body on a hospital bed, how was she supposed to live with that guilt? Seeing the dark cloud settling over Ivanka’s face, Michael took the initiative to shift the conversation. He brought up Coco to subtly redirect her focus.“Why did you ask me about Coco earlier? Do you suspect that she was the one who was lurking underwater?”Ivanka stared at Michael and nodded solemnly.Michael f

“Sit down.”A familiar voice broke the silence. Ivanka stiffly turned around and saw Ivan.The once meticulously groomed man, who took great care about his appearance, looked utterly worn down. His eyelids drooped, his eyes were dull and lifeless. The only evidence he was still conscious was a slight, occasional stir. Dark circles weighed heavily beneath his eyes. The stubble on his chin had grown into an unkempt shadow, untouched by a razor.He looked like a completely different person from the Ivan she knew. He was clearly wrecked by worry and lack of sleep.Despite his frail appearance, his voice was steady and firm. That alone was enough to reassure Ivanka.At least Ivan had not pushed himself to the point of collapse. If two people ended up hurt because of her… She did not even want to imagine it.Candice helped Ivanka sit down while Ivan set down the things he was carrying and looked at her.Ivanka glanced at the items. There was a mix of toiletries and daily necessities.

Candice knew Ivanka had a point, so she did not insist any further.As Ivanka watched Candice’s slightly unsteady steps as she left, a pang of guilt hit her.She had been lying in a hospital bed for days, but Candice had been running herself ragged without rest.At least Jimothy was there to keep her company.Earlier, Candice had been constantly replying to messages. From the tone of her voice, it was clear she had been talking to Jimothy.It seemed like the two of them had grown closer over the past few days. That was a good thing.As soon as Candice left, the smile on Ivanka’s face froze.She no longer bothered pretending. Her expression turned serious as she started sorting through her thoughts.At that moment, everything in her mind was a tangled mess. No matter how hard she tried, she could not pinpoint anything useful.She needed to untangle the threads before she could make sense of it all.The most critical part was piecing together the timeline and every event relate

Just as Coco was about to say something, Ivanka stared at her fixedly. She wanted to stay alert and listen to what Coco would say next. She did not want to miss a word.But suddenly, someone opened the door.Coco swallowed what she was about to say and turned around, only to meet Michael’s eyes. The atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.Ivanka was frustrated. Michael had returned at a bad time.His return messed everything up.He ruined her plan.The moment Coco saw Michael, she came to her senses.She realized that Ivanka had been trying to make her confess her crimes. Upon that realization, Coco was terrified. She felt a chill running down her spine.Ivanka was truly formidable.Seeing the change in Coco’s expression, Ivanka knew that Coco had caught on. She had lost the chance to get the truth out of Coco.Not only did Ivanka fail, but she had also alerted Coco. Ivanka felt rather defeated at the moment.Michael looked at Coco, then glanced at the mess on the fl
