By the time Alex and Tara returned to the hospital, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
After being rescued, Hugo was moved to a hospital room. Scarlett, who had her wounds treated, sat by his
bedside, wide awake, staring nkly at him.
The events of the night yed out in her mind like scenes from a movie.
His every move, his madness, his desperation, and the way he looked at her.
All of it was beyond what she had expected.
To say she felt nothing would be a lie. Even though she had once been angry with Hugo, in the face of life
and death, everything else seemed so insignificant…
Hugo.
Why couldn’t he just remain the jerk she thought he was?
Why did he have <i>to </i>upset the bnce now?
As she was lost in her thoughts, there was a knock on the door, and Alex walked in.
“Scarlett.”
Hearing her name, Scarlett turned around. Seeing Alex, she gave a faint smile, “You’re back?”
Alex walked over, looking at her. “Scarlett, how are you? Are you okay?”
“Just a few scratches, nothing serious<b>,</b>” Scarlett replied.

First looked at Hugo lying on the bed, wrapped in thick bandages that were stained with blood. He looked
pale and weak. “How is he?” First asked.
Scarlett nced at Hugo too. “The doctor said his abdominal wound is deep, and he lost a lot of blood. They’ve stitched him up, but it’ll be a while before he wakes up. Thankfully, there’s <i>no </i>threat <i>to </i>his life,” she
exined.
Hearing this, First nodded, feeling a quiet sense of relief wash over him.
Honestly, after witnessing what Hugo did tonight, First felt moved. He didn’t harbor as much resentment
towards him anymore… In fact, he was quite worried.
Scarlett ced a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, he’ll be alright.”
First looked up at her, and they shared a knowing nod, understanding each other without words.
Then Scarlett remembered something and turned to Tara. “By the way, thank you for everything tonight.”
Tara was surprised to be addressed and waved her hand dismissively. “No need to thank me, it was nothing,
really.”
Thinking about <i>how </i>well Scarlett taught First, Tara couldn’t help but admire her deeply.
A woman like Scarlett–beautiful and confident–was truly someone to envy and respect.
Scarlett nced at her, saying nothing, but there was a fleeting, mysterious glint in her eyes.
In that brief moment, Tara felt like she had caught something.
Her smile froze, and when she looked again, Scarlett had already averted her gaze.
Wait, had she imagined it?

The way Scarlett looked at her… it was as if she knew her.
No, more like… she understood her.
Tara was stunned for a few seconds. When she looked back at Scarlett, she seemed as if nothing had
happened.
Tara blinked a few times, pondering for a moment, and came to a conclusion.
She must have been overthinking!
How could that be possible?

It must have been theck of sleep making her see things!
Yes, that must be it!
At that moment, First looked at Scarlett. “Scarlett, actually, Tara is my friend,” he admitted.
Scarlett’s gaze remained calm, as if she had known all along. She nodded, “Yes, I know.”
First looked up at Scarlett. “Scarlett, I didn’t mean to deceive you before…”

Scarlett nced at him, a small smile forming on her lips. “You have the right to make friends, and I won’t
interfere, as long as you take care of yourself.”
Clearly, Scarlett wasn’t going to press him further.
First had been worried about how to exin things to her, but hearing her words, he felt relieved.
He nodded firmly. “Yeah, I know, Scarlett. I’ll definitely take care of myself and won’t make you worry.”
Tara chimed in, unable to hold back. “I’ll protect him too, and won’t let him get hurt even a little.”
Scarlett looked at Tara for a moment before nodding. “I believe you.”
“First, your mom is both beautiful and understanding!” Tara couldn’t help butpliment.
First shot her a look. “As if I need you to say it.”
“You-” Tara was about to retort but held back, remembering Scarlett was still there. She forced a smile.
“You’re really… adorable!”

First couldn’t help but let out a smallugh.
Scarlett smiled too, acting as if she hadn’t noticed.
Tara quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, whenever she looked at Scarlett, she always felt… a sense of fear.
Meanwhile, in another room.
Tiana sat on the hospital bed, trembling all over.

The thought of Hugo being hurt filled her with worry and pain, tears streaming down her face.
When Audrey arrived, she found Tiana in this state, sitting on the bed looking lost.
“Tiana, what’s wrong?” Audrey asked, walking over with concern in her eyes.
Hearing the voice, Tiana looked at Audrey, her voice trembling, “Mom, I think I messed up…” She raised her
eyes to meet Audrey’s, filled with despair.
“What happened? What’s <i>going </i><i>on</i>?” Audrey soothed her, rubbing her back gently. How could things have
changed so much in just one night?
Tíana continued to cry, shaking all over. After a long pause, she slowly began to exin what had happened.
Audrey’s brow furrowed as she listened. “Tiana, what were you thinking getting involved in something like
this?<b>” </b>
“I… I didn’t expect it to turn out this way… Mom, what should I do? Hugo’s hurt now. Do you think he’ll be

Audrey looked at her daughter, whom she had cherished since childhood, feeling both frustrated and helpless. After a long pause, she spoke, “Alright, don’t panic. It should be fine. If it were serious, things
outside would already be chaotic.”
“But he got stabbed several times!” Tiana said.
“Shh!” Audrey motioned for her to lower her voice.
Tiana nced outside and whispered, “Mom, I’m really scared. What should I do?”
Audrey felt troubled by her words but knew she had to stay calm at this critical moment.
“I’ll go out and find out what’s happening,” Audrey said firmly, then warned Tiana, “Don’t say a word about this
to anyone, understand? Or you’ll ruin your life forever!”
Tiana <i>nodded </i>repeatedly, her face pale with fear. “I know, I won’t say anything, not to anyone!”
Audrey sighed helplessly, looking at her. “You rest for now, I’ll go find out what’s going on.”
Tiana nodded again<i>, </i>clearly cing all her hopes on Audrey.
As Audrey reached the door, she paused and turned back to Tiana. “Are you sure you didn’t leave any
evidence behind?”
Tiana shook her head and then said, “That person is just a lunatic, aplete nutcase!”
Audrey thought for a moment, then smirked coldly. <i>“</i>If that’s the case, then it makes things a lot easier!”
