People around watched in a mix of surprise and disbelief, but Finn didn’t pay them any attention.
As soon as Tess regained consciousness, he scooped her up across his arms without hesitation.
Zane hurried after him, quickly taking La from the nanny.
The Lock Group Private Hospital ambnce arrived immediately. Finn, ignoring the surprised crowd, ran into the ambnce with Tess still in his arms.
“Wee woo… wee woo

The shrill wail of the ambnce siren cut through the night as it sped away from Evermount Vi.
The guests were left staring at one another, uncertain and uneasy.
“Still hanging around? Isn’t it time everyone went home?”
Abel stepped out from a corner, holding what remained of a champagne ss–only the broken stem in his hand.
His words brought everyone back to reality.
The party ended in confusion.
Nadine looked slightly pale, but thinking of the child’s appearance tonight, a sense of relief eased her heart.
She looked down, thinking, and when she looked up, she met a pair of sharp, intense eyes.
Before she could react, Abel was already standing in front of her.
His strong hand pressed against her neck, his tone cold and threatening, “If you even think aboutying a hand on her …”
His words stopped as his grip tightened.

Nadine’s face immediately turned red, and she struggled for air.
She red back. “This has nothing to do with me!”
Abel scoffed. “It better not be.”
With that, he shoved her to the ground and walked off.
He walked toward the main gates of Evermount Vi, that is also Lock Group Private Hospital’s direction.

After what had just happened, the guests quickly left, scared of getting into more trouble.
Before long, the vast pool and the spacious surroundings were left with only Nadine and Sydney.
“Nadine, do you think everything is okay? I thought Mr. Lock hated Tess the most, so why did he act like that today…
Sydney paused, still thinking about how Finn had been both gentle with Tess and quick to help her, which made her feel quietly worried.
Nadine pressed her lips together, filled with frustration, but she spoke confidently, “Why worry? Finn was just showing some humanity toward Tess, right in front of everyone!”
Sydney felt a bit relieved, though unease still lingered in her chest.
As her thoughts wandered, she suddenly remembered the box with the “C” logo she had noticed outside Tess’s room.
Meanwhile, Tess was rushed to Lock Group Private Hospital.
When the doctors found out she had fallen into the water and lost consciousness, they immediately prepped her for surgery.
Finn, as a family member, waited anxiously outside under the bright red “Emergency” sign.
“Is she okay?”
The moment the emergency room light switched off, Finn suddenly rose to his feet.
The doctor appeared calm and said, “She swallowed some water, but it’s all taken care of. Now we just have to wait for her to wake up.”
Finn let out a long, relieved breath.

Tess was then moved to a private VIP ward.
Finn didn’t ask the nanny to stay. He decided to keep watch on his own.

It was alreadyte at night, with everything around cerily quiet. Finn didn’t feel sleepy. His eyes kept drifting to Tess’s face.
She seemed like a peaceful doll, her lovely features glowing faintly in the soft light. At this moment, she wasn’t arguing or fight him.
Finn couldn’t help but hold his breath, staring at her gentle, beautiful face.
Meanwhile, back at Evermount Vi, most of the guests had quietly left, but Nadine and Sydney stayed as if they owned the ce.
Nadine, guided by Sydney, walked over to the spot where Tess had left the gift box.
“Could this be from that Cavrielle brand?”
Nadine frowned, but her face stayed mostly calm.
It was clear she wasn’t very concerned.
Sydney had good intentions, but she understood just how prestigious the Cavrielle brand was.
Across all of Aetheris, only a select few were lucky enough to receive custom–made dresses. from them.
If this really was a dress from Cavrielle, it would exin why Tess looked so breathtaking today.
Sydney noticed her reaction and couldn’t help feeling doubtful, questioning her own assumptions.
Still …
As a leading brand in luxury fashion, Cavrielle always carefully chose their clients, usually reserved for the wealthy, influential, or those with outstanding achievements.
On top of that, they also ced great importance on that client’s own aplishments, which meant there was simply no way to obtain a custom gown through someone else.
Tess was an ex–con. There was no way she could get a custom dress from Cavrielle. The more Sydney thought about it, the more she realized she had been overthinking.

She scolded herself inwardly. <i>Of </i><i>course</i>, <i>there </i>was <i>no </i><i>way </i><i>Tess </i><i>was </i><i>qualified </i>to <i>have </i><i>Cavrielle </i><i>make </i>her a custom dress.
It seemed the dress was just a fake, bought somewhere just to satisfy her vanity.
Sydney’s eyes shifted slightly, then she met Nadine’s gaze with a thoughtful look.
The moment their eyes locked, a quiet understanding passed between them.
