Chapter 51: Distrust

Sophie’s POV:When I asked that, Kenneth smiled.“You heard already? News travels fast.”As he spoke, Kenneth glanced in the direction Grace had gone after being called to Nora.“A loose tongue is never a good thing.”My heart skipped.This is bad.A warning sign.Kenneth turned back to me with a stern expression.“Perhaps Ms. Keller doesn’t understand who the head of this household is.”I gave a strained smile.Kenneth’s expression remained severe.“Sophie, you were the one who brought Grace here from the Bennett household. If Grace is going to overstep as staff, then perhaps she should return to the Bennett household.”My heart jumped.“But, Kenneth...”Before I could finish, Kenneth shot me a sharp look.“This is decided. It isn’t a discussion.”With that, Kenneth walked off in the direction Grace had gone.I returned to my room and threw my bag onto the bed.At this rate, Grace would be sent back to the Bennett household.And Kenneth had said it was not up for d

Chapter 52: A Desperate Performance and the Queen’s Carelessness

Nathan’s POV:When had Sophie started setting traps around me?No.Around all of us?Lucas had said her trap might have already been in place back in university, and that made me wonder.Sophie was the daughter of Helen Dawson, the housekeeper who worked for the Carter family.If I remembered correctly, Sophie had first slipped into our circle when we were three or four years old.Back then, Sophie had behaved like the daughter of a household employee.And it had been Evelyn who invited that version of Sophie out and brought her along to play with us.When did it start?When?The more I tried to remember, the more my head hurt.I grimaced and endured the headache.“Are you okay?” Lucas asked.Keeping my eyes closed, I answered, “Yes. Just a headache.”Lucas’s voice softened.“Don’t push yourself. The withdrawal symptoms from 'Queen of Desire' are starting to show. Right now, you need to get through those first.”Just then, the analyzer beeped to indicate the test was c

Chapter 53: ER

Evelyn’s POV:When I responded to the call, I found accident victims being brought into the ER.Why would they need to call Nathan for an ER case?With that thought, I spoke to the nurse nearby.“Dr. Bennett isn’t feeling well and can’t come, so I’ll take his place.”The nurse looked at me and nodded.“Please do.”It had been a long time since I had felt the atmosphere of the ER.The energy of the scene.Orders flying back and forth.“Doctor, please!”Someone called out, and I immediately headed over.---I brought the chaotic scene under control and gave precise instructions.As long as the people receiving those instructions carried them out properly, the scene would quickly recover from the confusion.After finishing treatment on one patient, I immediately turned to the next.“This is...”An open fracture.He needed surgery right away.“Is an OR available?”As I asked, I examined the areas other than the open fracture.“Yes, one is open!”I gave the order at on

Chapter 54: Breaking Free From the Sweet Poison

Evelyn’s POV:When I said that, Dr. Reeves hurriedly replied, “That’s not what I meant…”I smiled at him.“I know. It’s all right.”Then my resolve hardened.“Things need to change, don’t they?”I finished washing my hands and started walking.“Dr. Carter?”Dr. Reeves called after me.I smiled at him and said, “Good work today.”Then I left.The moment I stepped out, everyone who had been in the OR with me turned to look.“Good work, everyone.”As soon as I said that, they all lowered their heads at once.“Good work, Dr. Carter.”---Nathan’s POV:“Nathan, it’s ready.”Lucas brought over the antidote he had formulated himself.“You finished it already?”When I asked that, Lucas smiled.“This is what I’m good at. That’s why I went into research.”When he put it that way, I supposed it made sense.I had been hit with headaches and nausea, so all I had been able to do was sit there and watch Lucas work.Lucas hung the IV bag and looked at me.“What do you want to d

Chapter 55: The Antidote’s Effect and the Bennett Family’s Rejection

Evelyn’s POV:Lucas smiled when I asked that.“Who knows? But she clearly wasn’t using it like ordinary perfume.”“What do you mean?”Lucas smiled faintly.“Sophie said this in front of me. ‘Ryan and Nathan both fell for it so easily.’”I almost laughed.That did sound like something Sophie would say.“I don’t know what she meant by that,” Lucas said. “Her body, her behavior, or Queen of Desire itself.”Whether Sophie understood the actual effects of Queen of Desire changed the weight of the issue.Either way, Nathan, the person who had suffered the most from it, was right in front of us now, undergoing detox.I walked closer to him.“Are you okay?”Nathan was still fighting nausea as he answered, “Yes. I’m fine. This kind of feels like I’m a patient going through chemotherapy.”When he said that, I had to admit it did look similar.“What about Nathan’s blood test?” I asked, turning back to Lucas.“It’s being processed now.”I looked at Nathan.Maybe it was the instin

Chapter 56: Narcissism and Awakening

Sophie’s POV:I waited in my room for a long time, but Grace never came.Would she really leave without taking any of her things?That was what I thought at first, but after seeing Kenneth’s temper earlier, it might not be impossible.Grace will be fine.After all, she came straight to me to report that Lucas and Evelyn had been here.I sat on the bed in my pink room and picked up the bright red bag Nathan had given me.A limited-edition Illumi bag.It had only just been released, and I had not seen anyone else around me carrying it yet.Nathan is still in my hands.There’s nothing to worry about.Thinking that, I checked my nails.From the way Nora had reacted, there was no chance Evelyn would be welcomed into the Parker family.Lucas was only the son of Kenneth’s first wife, after all.Even so, I could not let anyone take away the place I had now.Ryan was dead, and Lucas was the only heir left to the Parker family.Even if I remarried, there was no way I could stay w

Chapter 57: A New Ally

Evelyn’s POV:“As far as I remember…”Nathan spoke.“It may be true that Sophie was trying to push you out from the beginning.”As he said that, he got up from the bed.“But she only started making sexual advances toward me after you and I got married.”Hearing that confirmed that my instincts hadn’t been wrong.Looking back now, Sophie had always done it.Even when we were children, she would say things that sounded like compliments toward me on the surface, but then she would turn around and say she could never behave the way I did, that she was too weak and fragile to do the things I could do.She had always played up her own helplessness, subtly dragged me down, and made herself look better.And now, once again, I was forced to realize that the man who used to be my husband had been toyed with and seduced by that kind of woman.An ugly curiosity stirred inside me.I smiled bitterly because I almost let it slip out.The truth was, I wanted to ask.When Sophie seduced h

Chapter 58: The Plan Moves Forward

Evelyn’s POV:By then, dawn was beginning to break.The MRI was done at such an hour that no one in the hospital saw it happen.Julian discussed something with Lucas, then left St. Catherine.“Are you sure it’s okay to involve him?” I asked.Lucas nodded.“It’s fine. If I give him the general outline, he’ll understand.”I wondered how Lucas could say that with such certainty.Then he smiled faintly.“Julian thought Sophie was suspicious back in university too. Same as me.”I laughed softly at the word suspicious.“That’s why I can trust him. It’ll be fine.”Just then, the radiology tech called out to us.“It’s done.”Lucas and I exchanged a look, nodded, and started walking.We reviewed the MRI images and began making our assessment, focusing especially on the frontal lobe.“At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be anything abnormal,” Lucas said.Then he took a pen from his breast pocket and pointed to one part of the image.“Here.”I understood what he meant.“The

Chapter 59: The Search

Evelyn’s POV:We headed to St. Catherine first.Victor Sterling, the patient I was responsible for, was recovering well, though he still had not regained consciousness.His numbers showed no abnormalities, and both Lucas and I agreed that he would likely wake up within the next few days.After checking his chart and his condition, I was relieved to see nothing seemed wrong.“Dr. Carter.”I turned at the sound of my name and saw a nurse standing there.She bowed properly to me, then lifted her head.“Thank you for last night.”Her words made me remember.“You were there last night.”I remembered seeing her when I was treating the open-fracture patient who had been brought into the ER.“The patient you treated yesterday, Dr. Carter…”The nurse turned as she spoke.Following her gaze, I saw yesterday’s patient.“He’s recovering well.”I smiled.“I’m glad to hear that.”I glanced at Lucas and nodded.Lucas smiled and nodded too.Then I started walking toward the patient

Chapter 60: The Diary

Evelyn’s POV:What I was holding were documents from Salon de Orchid.A loan agreement made out in Grace’s name.“That’s an enormous amount,” Lucas said.“Yes. It is. There’s no way Grace could ever pay this off on a staff member’s salary.”I lifted my gaze from the documents.“Why would she have this much debt?”I said it almost to myself.Lucas smiled.“Well, Salon de Orchid is that kind of place.”With that, Lucas moved away from me and opened the laptop in the room.I looked over his shoulder.The password screen appeared.“We won’t be able to see anything like this,” I said.Lucas thought for a moment.“Maybe…”With the password screen still displayed, Lucas pressed Enter.The laptop immediately started up.“She didn’t set a password?” I asked.Lucas smiled.“Looks like it.”I sighed.“You can do that?”Lucas laughed.“Back in university, I knew someone like that. They thought setting a password on their laptop was too much trouble, so they just left it bla
