Edmund and Mira fell silent, both knowing that this wasn't something that could be resolved easily. At that moment, the only thing that mattered was waiting for Macie to regain consciousness.Elias had a bench brought over for his parents. The middle-aged couple sat staring at the doors of the emergency room. Every passing second felt unbearably long."Elias, you said that you only started suspecting her after seeing your sister at the Hart family's birthday banquet the other night. Was it because she looked like us?" Edmund asked as he suddenly remembered what Elias had said. "Not exactly, but her features reminded me of when she was young. I thought that she resembled my aunt a little," Elias explained. "Then, I found out that her kindergarten records had been destroyed, and I couldn't find any of her childhood photos. All I had were her student records and ID photos starting from middle school."After hearing that, Edmund and Mira immediately asked to see them, so Elias pulled

"I'm not talking about Macie's background," Yosef said. "Even if she were still an ordinary orphan, I would never help Edward get close to her again. I already owe her too much. But now that she has a different identity, the situation affects both our family's alliance and the Hale family's."He let out a long sigh, already dreading how he was supposed to face the Hales.Yosef barked, "Bring Edward back right now! He's already been kicked out, so what's he doing hanging around outside? Who's he trying to fool with that lovesick act?" Nolan did as he was told. Yosef might have sounded angry, but he was still worried about Edward.The bodyguards received the order, but Edward refused to leave. He insisted on waiting until Macie was safely out of the operating room.Nolan had no choice. The night was getting chilly, so he instructed the bodyguards to bring Edward back into the car. Time crawled by. The clock slipped past midnight and was creeping toward 1:00 am. Edward grew more r

Sean and Alice sat at the dining table for breakfast, but he was still brooding. He didn't know why Macie was ignoring him and wondered if he had somehow upset her again these past few days.He replayed everything in his head, but nothing came to mind. The more he thought about it, the less sense it made. Absentmindedly, he took Alice's phone, opened her chat with Macie, and sent her a message. Noticing his actions, Alice snorted. "Just watch. May will reply to me in a heartbeat. She just doesn't want to reply to you."Sean didn't argue with her. He continued eating, but he kept glancing at the phone screen from the corner of his eye. A couple of minutes passed, but Macie's reply didn't come through."Didn't you say that she would reply to you in an instant?" he asked. Alice picked up her phone and made excuses, saying that Macie must've just woken up or something. Diana, who was sitting across from them, watched as they talked about Macie first thing in the morning and remained

Sean stopped dead in his tracks, but he didn't turn around to argue with Diana. He thought she had completely lost her grip on reason. First, she forced Alice to get along with Sharon, and now she was claiming that he could never be with Macie.But there was nothing between him and Macie.Clenching his fists, he strode down the road outside the villa. Yet, his mother's words kept replaying in his head, filling him with an inexplicable irritation. He wasn't sure if it was her baseless suspicions that bothered him, or her overwhelming greed, or… something else entirely.Right then, Macie's figure surfaced before him. Her polite smile, her aloofness, the indifferent look in her eyes, and her frail figure lying weak and pale on the hospital bed…He became even more unsettled when he remembered how she hadn't replied to any of his messages since last night. In fact, she had sent him a watch out of the blue, along with a message that their scores were settled from then on.When he reach

"It's Elias' secretary!" Sean said.After hearing that, Alice looked at Mitch. Sean called out, "Mitch!"Mitch was on his way upstairs with breakfast when he heard his name. He turned his head. "Mr. Hart? What are you doing here?""Are you on your way to see Macie?" Sean cut to the chase. "Which floor and room is she in? Let us come with you!"Mitch looked a little troubled when he heard that, because Elias had given strict orders that no one was allowed to visit her. "What's with that look? I just want to see my friend. Why can't you tell us where she is?" Alice demanded.She found it so bizarre. Wasn't he Elias' secretary? What right did he have to stop her from seeing Macie?Also, why was the hospital keeping all the information about Macie confidential? She wondered if this was all Edward's doing.However, if such were the case, what did it have to do with Mitch? Why did he look so hesitant and troubled? "You must be Ms. Hart! I wish I could tell you, but Mr. Hale has
