Julian took his car keys and headed out the door. While rushing to his car, he frowned and asked Alice what she meant and why Macie wouldn't be returning to work at Brightech Studios."Because her family would never allow her to suffer in a small company like yours. Macie is now an heiress to a wealthy family. She doesn't need to work anymore," Alice answered.Julian was completely baffled when he heard that. "What family? Isn't Macie an orphan? Also, what do you mean she's an heiress?" he inquired. "It's exactly what it sounds like. Macie's family found her. She's now the sole daughter of the Hale family, the center of attention, and her status is higher than mine."Julian stopped in his tracks. He was shell-shocked. He couldn't believe that Macie was actually the missing daughter of a prestigious family. If her standing was higher than Alice's, the Hales must be extremely wealthy and influential. After snapping out of his shock, he thought to himself, "No matter how much her i

Mitch laid out the entire situation, and Julian staggered back, his eyes wide in disbelief. Sharon was an impostor. She had stolen Macie's identity and tried to kill her to cover it up. "In short, that's what happened. Please leave. Ms. Smith is in no condition to receive visitors," Mitch said.Julian, however, didn't budge. Looking Mitch straight in the eye, he demanded, "Why can't I see her? Ms. Hart was allowed in this morning!"Mitch realized then how Julian had managed to find his way to the 15th floor. "I'm also a friend of Macie's. On top of that, I'm her boss. I have the right to see her and confirm her condition!" Julian continued.Holding Julian's gaze, Mitch repeated, "I'm sorry, but Mr. Hale has made it clear that you're not allowed to visit Ms. Smith."Julian tensed up when he heard that. Why? On what grounds? Was it simply because his boss was Macie's older brother?Prior to this, Elias had helped Sharon set Macie up. So, what right did someone like him have to s

Alice's brows drew together as she stared at her phone, wondering if Diana had already known about Macie's real identity. Was that why she wasn't even the slightest bit surprised now?Even her father's reaction had been stronger than her mother's. He had immediately called her, demanding to know whether it was true and pressing her for details.While Alice was explaining the situation to Dominic, Elias had just ended a short call at Eastlake General Hospital when Mitch came over to report that Julian had left. Elias didn't seem to care. He just said that Julian was not to be allowed to visit again.Mitch was reminded yet again that Macie had once married Edward for Julian's sake. Now that something had happened to her, Julian still rushed over in the middle of a workday. Clearly, he had feelings for her, too.However, Elias would never forgive him, nor accept him as his brother-in-law. After all, Julian was the reason Macie had suffered through those two miserable years of marriage

Edmund fell silent as he watched Elias hang his head in guilt while Mira sobbed beside him. None of them had imagined that things would come to this. Moreover, Edmund couldn't deny his own responsibility in the chain of events that had harmed Macie. He was the one who had told Elias to get rid of Rico, dismissing Macie as insignificant, saying that she could be easily dealt with because she had no power or status, and that the truth could simply be buried without consequence.Closing his eyes, he drew in a deep breath, his body tense and rigid. Their entire family had failed Macie.Sensing the heavy silence among the three of them, Mitch tactfully stepped aside. He followed up on Raymond's case while silently wishing that Macie would regain consciousness soon because that was the only way Edmund and the others could feel a little less guilty.He shuddered to think what would have happened if Macie hadn't survived the night… Edmund and his family… They probably might not have survi

After forcing out those words, Macie felt as if she had finally let go of the burden she had carried all her life, like a breath she had been holding for years had finally been released. Macie closed her eyes and slipped back into unconsciousness.Even though her voice was faint, Edmund and Mira heard every single word she said. The middle-aged couple cried even harder in despair after watching their daughter lose consciousness again."The patient is still very weak. Please step outside so we can continue her treatment," said Bryan. Mira refused to leave until a nurse gently guided her out while the doctors examined Macie again.Elias and Edmund staggered back, their gazes fixed on the hospital bed as they backed out the door.When the ward door closed, the middle-aged couple could only move to the window. "Dad, Mom, what did Macie say?" Elias inquired."She asked… why we didn't wait for her under the tree," Edmund choked out."So… she managed to make her way back, but she didn
