    **Chapter 510: The Late-Night Visit**


    Tess sat across from Abel, her gaze locked onto him, and felt the familiar throb of a headache creeping in, a dull drumbeat that mirrored her growing frustration.


    Before she could muster a response, Abel crossed his arms defiantly, a smirk ying on his lips. “Absolutely not. I’m the one in the hospital bed here. Sure, I might be a bit bruised, but let’s be honest, I still look pretty good. I can’t let you near me.” His tone was half-joking, half-serious, but there was an edge of sincerity that made Tess frown.


    With a sudden burst of energy, he began furiously pressing the nurse call button, as if it were a life-or-death situation.


    When the nurse arrived, he waved his hand theatrically, as if summoning a servant. “You see? She’s definitely up to no good. Don’t let her stick around to take care of me. I demand a private suite—just for myself!” His dramatic ir was almostical, yet Tess found herself at a loss for words.


    The nurse’s lips twitched in amusement, caught between professionalism and the absurdity of the situation.


    Abel was undeniably handsome, with an intensity that could easily charm anyone, but it was evident he had a few loose screws rattling around in that head of his.


    Nevertheless, the nurse had to adhere to the wishes of her patient, and she cast Tess an apologetic nce, silently acknowledging the chaos of the moment.


    “If you need anything at all, just give me a shout,” Tess said, her voiceced with helplessness as she raised her phone in a half-hearted gesture of reassurance.


    Abel blinked, his expression shifting as he considered her words. “You should really head home. It’ste, and it’s not proper for a man and woman to be alone at this hour.” His tone was teasing, but there was a hint of genuine concern there.


    Tess rolled her eyes, feeling a mix of irritation and amusement. “I’m leaving,” she replied tly, turning on her heel and striding away without a backward nce.


    As soon as her slender figure vanished around the corner, Abel felt a pang of regret. Hisshes fluttered, and he whispered to himself, “I wish you’d stayed.”


    Outside the hospital, Tess finally managed to hail a cab, the clock already well past midnight.


    Sinking into the back seat, she let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding, feeling her tense muscles begin to rx.


    But as the city lights blurred past, her mind began to wander once more.


    Her fingers tightened around her purse, a small anchor in the storm of her thoughts.


    Deep down, she understood that Abel had been putting on that ridiculous act to shield her from potential gossip.


    Only recently divorced from Finn, she was still the subject of whispers and spection. Even though the faces she’d seen outside the operating room were familiar, the fear of rumors spreading like wildfire loomed over her.


    With a quiet sigh, Tess walked through the gates of Evermount Heights, the pale moonlight casting long shadows on the ground.


    The following morning, before she had even fully opened her eyes, her phone rang insistently, pulling her from the depths of sleep.


    “Tess, I just heard the Shaw boy is in the hospital,” Violet’s warm voice greeted her, cutting through the fog of her drowsiness.


    Tess assumed Violet was reaching out to check on Abel. “He’s fine—” she started, but was quickly interrupted.


    “Do you know which room Nadine is in at Primal Hospital?” Violet’s question caught Tess off guard, shifting the conversation in an unexpected direction.


    “Why are you asking about that Shaw kid?” Tess replied, her brow furrowing in confusion.


    “But since he’s in the hospital, pushing him for work now might seem a little heartless,” Violet added, her toneced with a hint of mischief.


    Tess’s lips twitched in realization. So that’s why Violet had called.


    “She’s in the inpatient wing, fifth floor, room eight. It’s a private suite,” Tess informed her, still feeling a bit bewildered but determined to be honest.


    “Aun Violet, what exactly are you nning?” she questioned hesitantly, her curiosity piqued.


    Violet’s voice took on a conspiratorial tone. “Let’s keep this between us for now. Don’t worry about it. Just pretend I never asked.”


    And with that, she hung up, leaving Tess staring at her phone in utter bewilderment.


    Meanwhile, Violet exchanged a knowing nce with Olivia, who stood beside her, already poised for action.


    The two women found themselves in the lobby of Primal Hospital’s inpatient building, their heels clicking on the polished floor as they moved with purpose.


    “Fifth floor, let’s go,” Olivia said briskly, her brow arched with determination as she headed straight for the elevator.


    When they arrived at room eight, the gold-trimmed sign reading “VIP Suite” gleamed under the fluorescent lights, a stark contrast to the sterile environment.


    Olivia scoffed lightly, a smirk forming on her lips. “A foster daughter living in a VIP room? Not too shabby.”


    With a firm knock, she rapped on the door, the sound echoing in the quiet room.


    The sudden noise jolted Nadine from her nap, her IV still dripping steadily beside her.


    She blinked, her eyes widening as she took in the sight of two elegant, intimidating women standing before her, their expressions unreadable.


    The irritation she felt faded, reced by a creeping sense of unease. “W-who are you? You can’t just barge into a patient’s room like this!”


    Olivia, tall and broad-shouldered, stepped forward, her presencemanding. “You’re the Embers’ adopted daughter, aren’t you?”


    Nadine’s heart sank at the realization that they were indeed there for her.


    “W-what do you want with me?” she stammered, instinctively clutching her nket tighter, as if it could shield her from their scrutiny.


    “Nothing much,” Violet replied smoothly, her voice calm yetced with an underlying tension. She walked closer, her heels clicking against the floor, each step deliberate.


    “Just curious about what the Embers’ shameless foster daughter looks like. So this is it,” she said, her faint smile not reaching her eyes as she scanned Nadine from head to toe, her gaze dripping with disdain.


    The contempt in Violet’s tone ignited something deep within Nadine, her fear morphing into anger. “Who do you think you are? I’ll call security and have you thrown out!” she retorted, her voice rising with indignation.Conclusion
