First was feeling a bit worried about his own safety.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and sleep, something struck him.

He hacked into the hospital’s surveince system and found the video of Hugo and Tara fighting in the hallway.
Initially, he nned to delete it right away, but curiosity got the better of him, so he watched the <i>video</i>.
Even though he wasn’t familiar with fighting techniques, it was clear that Hugo and Tara were both professionally trained.
This piqued his curiosity about Hugo even more.
What kind of skills did Hugo possess? He was the head of apany, yet so many people seemed to want him dead.
After pondering for a while, First couldn’t figure it out.
As for Hugo being captivated by Tara’s beauty, First didn’t see any evidence of that in the video.
Once he finished watching, he deleted the footage and finally felt at ease enough to go to sleep.
Meanwhile, in another ce.
In a dark room.
A tall figure was staring at the news on aputer screen.
It was a photo from the scene of Scarlett Adler’s car ident. The scene looked quite tragic, but the report stated she
was injured, not dead
Upon seeing the news, his fists clenched tightly

In the next moment, his fingers flew over the keyboard, searching for Scarlett’s hospital.
He searched for a long time but found nothing; the news didn’t mention it.
Just as he was about to smash hisputer in frustration, he suddenly noticed a picture of an ambnce driving away,
with the license te clearly visible…
His eyes narrowed.
Finally, a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
This time, he would make sure she was gone.
With his own hands!
The next morning.
Hugo’s phone vibrated loudly.
ncing at Scarlett, who was still asleep in bed, he quietly stepped out of the room.
In the hallway.
Hugo answered the call.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Hugo, it’s me, Aunt Audrey,<i>” </i>
Hugo’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Aunt, is there something you need?”

“Hugo, are you with Tiana?” Audrey asked over the phone.
When Hugo heard Tiana’s name, he frowned slightly. “No, I haven’t.”

“Can you reach her? I haven’t been able to get in touch with her for a whole day and night,” Audrey said anxiously.
“Isn’t she at home?”
“I don’t know. I went to her ce, but no one answered the door. Her dad is supposed <i>to </i>be discharged today, and I can’t
reach her at all. This isn’t like her. Do you think something might have happened?” Audrey asked, her voice filled with
worry.
Hugo remembered what Tiana had told him that night. With everything happening with Scarlett, he had almost forgotten.
“She mentioned she had something to discuss with you that day. After that, I couldn’t reach her. I thought you two were
together. What should we do? Something must have happened to her,” Audrey’s voice trembled with panic.
Hugo nced around the hospital room, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go check it out. I’ll let you
know as soon as I find anything.”
“Okay, thank you so much!”
Hugo didn’t say anything else and hung up the call.
When he returned to the hospital room, Scarlett was already sitting up.
“Awake?”
Scarlett nced at him, seemingly annoyed like she had just woken up, and responded with a curt, “Yeah.”
“…”
“If you have things to do, go ahead. There’s nothing much going on here,” Scarlett said.
Hugo pressed his lips together, “No rush. I’ll leave once they arrive.”
Scarlett didn’t say much more, adopting a whatever you want attitude.

Noticing Scarlett’s displeasure, Hugo thought for a moment and said, “Actually, it was Jiang…”
Before he could finish, the door swung open from the outside, and Will walked in.
Clearly, Will hadn’t expected Hugo to be there. He gave him a look, “What are you doing here?”
“Yesterday I…”

“Yesterday, Fourth was worried about me being alone and insisted he <ie </i>over,” Scarlett interrupted him.
Though Hugo had indeed used that excuse, hearing Scarlett say it made him feel a bit off.
Will nced at Hugo but said nothing, instead heading straight to Scarlett with a bowl of prepared oatmeal.
Scarlett smiled and said, “Mr. Hodges, I already havepany here. If you have something to do, go ahead and take care
of it. And let Fourth know there’s no need to worry about me.”
Hugo frowned, sensing there was more to Scarlett’s words than she was letting on.
Then William chimed in, “Yeah, you’re a busy man. No need to keeping around here if there’s nothing urgent.”
Hugo stood there, feeling like he was being politely shown the door.
He was annoyed but couldn’t do anything about it.
Just then, his phone rang again.
ncing at the number, Hugo said, “I do have something to attend to, so I’ll be off!” With that, he got up and left.
William didn’t give it a second thought. He simply served the freshly made porridge, focusing solely on Scarlett’s
well–being
“Here, some freshly cooked porridge,” William said.
Scarlett finally turned her gaze away from the door and smiled slightly. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Outside, when First and William arrived, they noticed Tara’s car parked at the hospital entrance, so First let William go in
alone.
Tara Green was startled awake by a tap on the car window. She nced outside and saw First waving at her, realizing what was happening, she unlocked the car.
First slid into the passenger seat.
“Why are you still here? Didn’t you go home?”
“It’s too far to go back and forth, so I just made do here for the night,” Tara said, yawning. She looked at First, “I’ve rented a
ce. I’m moving today.”
“Are you serious?” First asked.
“Do you think I’m joking?”
First smiled at her, “My mom saw you yesterday.”
“How do you know?” Tara asked, but then remembered his hacking skills. With cameras in the hospital corridors, it wasn’t
surprising he knew.
“I was in disguise. Your mom shouldn’t recognize me,” Tara said.
Yeah, right.
But First thought about it. Some things just can’t be hidden forever.
If Scarlett Adler really found <i>out</i>, he might just have toe clean…
“Alright, you should get some rest. I’m going in to see my mom,” First said.
Tara nodded.
First opened the car door and stepped out.
Coincidentally, as Hugo walked out of the hospital, Alex turned around and bumped into him.

Alex nced at Hugo.
Hugo noticed him too.
There was no time to hide, so Alex had to face it head–on.
However, Hugo was in a hurry and only gave him a quick nce before continuing on his way.

Alex also walked calmly, as if he didn’t know Hugo at all, and they passed by each other…
It wasn’t until Hugo got into his car that he realized he might have just seen a kid who looked a lot like him….
