Tomorrow’s problems could wait.It was raining. Downstairs from the hospital, a Bentley Flying Spur was parked along the curb.Sean sat inside, watching Nikki through the rain-blurred window as she came out of the building.She stood on the steps and searched through her bag slowly, as if looking for an umbrella. Rain fell into her hair, but she didn’t move away.Sean wanted to get out. His fingers touched the door handle, then slowly pulled back.He didn’t dare. All he could do was sit there and watch her in silence. He watched her open her umbrella and walk down the steps.After two steps, she suddenly stopped.She reached out and caught a drop of rain as it slid from the edge of her umbrella. The water landed in her palm.She lowered her head and looked at it for a while. Then the corner of her mouth moved slightly, almost like she was smiling.Sean had been worried that Nikki would be affected by everything that had happened. He was afraid someone would expose her informat

Vivian stood in front of Sean with her head lowered.“I’m sorry, Sean. This is all my fault. I did it.”Sean’s eyes darkened. His gaze moved from Vivian to Susan, then back again.Then he laughed, furious enough to find it funny.“So the two of you are in this together.”“Sean Ford!” Susan slammed her hand on the table. “I am your mother. I gave birth to you and raised you, and this is how you speak to me?”Sean didn’t move. His fingers curled into a fist.His knuckles turned white, and the veins stood out from the back of his hand all the way to his wrist.“I told you not to touch her.”His gaze swept over Susan and Vivian, cold and terrifying.“I can tolerate whatever you do to me. But if you go after her, I’ll go to war with you.”Susan felt a chill, but she didn’t let it show.Vivian, however, could no longer keep herself composed. Tears kept falling down her face.Only now did she understand that she had never truly been at the center of this.She was terrified. She

“I just left my mom’s place,” Sean said. “She told me she helped Nikki get that overseas fellowship four years ago. According to her, that’s why Nikki left. What do you make of that?”Dave went quiet on the other end of the line.Sean didn’t push him. He waited in silence, trying to make sense of it himself.By the time the cigarette had burned halfway down, Dave finally spoke.“If your mom said that, then she probably wouldn’t lie about it,” Dave said. “Not when it’s something that can be checked.”Sean crushed out the cigarette.“Exactly. No one would expect her to lie about something verifiable.” His voice turned colder. “But after what you just told me, I’m even more sure Nikki is innocent.”Dave fell silent for a moment.“Then do you have a plan?”“I’m going to do everything I can to clear her name.”“You only have a week,” Dave said. “You need to move fast.”Strength slowly returned to Sean’s body.“Keep an eye on her for me,” Sean said. “She’s strong, but no one goes

“I’m going upstairs to change first.”Sean turned and headed upstairs, deliberately taking his time.When he reached the turn in the staircase, his fingers tightened around the envelope, creasing the paper.The moment he returned to his room, he locked the door and opened the envelope.There was a thick stack of documents inside.He went through them one by one.The application form.The transcript.The interview score sheet.Every document had red notes marked across it.Her grades hadn’t met the cutoff.Her recommendation letter had been added later.Her interview score had been changed.Piece by piece, every document seemed designed to bury Nikki.It was hard to imagine how serious the crisis was for her this time.If all of this was accepted as true, her entire life would be destroyed.Sean took out his phone and photographed every page. Then he put the documents back into the envelope and changed his clothes.He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself.

Nikki stood frozen in place, feeling as if a hole had been carved out of her chest.He didn’t even want to hear about her.Was she really worth so little to him now that he couldn’t even stand hearing about her?Jane looked at Nikki’s pale face, her trembling fingers, and her rigid back.She had known Nikki for more than ten years.The last time Jane had seen her like this was the night Nikki cut her wrist.That time, it had also been because of Sean.So even though Nikki had said again and again that she was over him, that she no longer cared, Jane knew the truth.Every time Nikki ran into Sean, she was dragged straight back into the past.Back to that suffocating, hopeless moment when it had felt as if the whole world had abandoned her.Jane’s anger shot straight to her head.She let go of Nikki’s arm and strode up to Sean, glaring at him.“Sean Ford, are you even human?”Sean didn’t move.There was no expression on his face, and his hands were casually tucked into his
