Jolie’snding location, eaceful, but on the second day, instead of getting case updates or
Jolie’snding location, the Embers showed up again.
When Raven opened the door, she looked speechless and turned to Tess.
The corners of Tess’s lips lifted slightly in a mocking curve.
“Tess, you were in a car crash. The three of us are worried sick about you. Just let us see you once, so we don’t keep worrying.”
Henry clung to the door from outside, refusing to let Raven shut it.
Raven pulled at it twice but couldn’t budge it. In anger, she pushed outward instead, mming it straight into Henry’s nose.
The gentlemanly look vanished from his face. He clutched his nose and cried out, “You little…”
Henry red at Raven with bulging eyes, but Raven wasn’t intimidated at all. She widened her eyes right back. “What are you yelling for? Keep this up, and I’ll call security. Then you won’t be leaving this room–you’ll be leaving the hospital.”
Raven curled her lip with a cold snort, looking downright arrogant and nearly sending Henry into cardiac arrest.
He tried pressing a hand to his chest to calm down, but he still couldn’t hold it in.
This was the first time a younger person had ever treated him with this level of disrespect!
“Tess, is this how you teach your friends to behave?!”
Henry yelled into the room, almost forgetting why he’de in the first ce.
Nadine hurriedly tugged at his arm as she whispered in embarrassment, “Dad!”
That snapped Henry back to himself.
And then the silent Tess finally responded inside
“Raven is my friend. What’s your problem? No wonder Ember Group ended up like this, and I have to clean up your mess.”

Tess spoke coldly.
Her gaze was icy now, a glint of frost shing in her eyes.

She suddenly remembered she’d been putting off checking on Ember Group altogether.
Her words nearly sent Henry rolling his eyes from rage, and Kylie turned stern as well, shouting sharply, “Tess! Is this how you talk to your father?!”
Henry took a few rough breaths, and, without thinking, he and Nadine both moved to restrain Kylie.
Beep, beep…
The nurse–call bell rang.
Tess was already weak, and the chaos from the parking–garage incident still weighed on her. Irritable and exhausted, she had no patience left to argue with them.
The nurse arrived quickly. “What’s wrong, Ms. Tess?”
Though she entered directly from the doorway, her eyes still drifted involuntarily from Tess in the bed to the Embers standing outside.
<i>These </i><i>people </i><i>are </i><i>weird</i>.
Tess nodded politely and pointed toward them. They keep making noise outside and disturbing my rest. Please have someone remove them.”
The request wasn’t unreasonable, and the Embers‘ shouting could be heard even at the front desk.
The nurse nodded repeatedly and took out her walkie–talkie, pressing the button. “Hello, security…”
Henry went pale upon hearing that and shot Raven a venomous look.
As for Tess–no matter how furious he was, he couldn’t afford to fall out with her now. So even though he was boiling inside, he forced it down.
“No need. I just remembered I have something else to deal with.”
Henry stormed off with a ckened face, his coat ring behind him like he was in a panic to escape.
He was always someone obsessed with appearances. Being “asked out” by security would’ve been humiliating beyond his limit.

Kylie wanted to go in and scold Tess, but seeing Henry leave, she had no choice but to follow, still mutteringints about her the whole way.
“What awful parents,” Raven muttered as she mmed the door shut.
By contrast, Tess stayed calm. To her, their visit was nothing more than an unwanted interruption from strangers.
She even smiled as she handed Raven a peeled apple.
Abel had peeled it before going out to buy her lunch and left it on a te.
Raven nced at it knowingly, the irritation fading from her face as she smirked. “Oh? Isn’t this Mr. Shaw’s handiwork? If I eat it, won’t he chop me into pieces when he gets back?”
For the first time, Tess’s perfectlyposed face cracked slightly. She shot Raven a look and reached out as if to grab it back. “If you’re not eating it, give it back.”
Only then did Raven grin and start eating, stuffing her mouth full.
“But honestly, Abel might look unreliable, but he’s actually not bad.”
Maybe it was because she’d eaten his apple, but Raven surprisingly spoke up for him.
Even Tess was a little taken aback.
In Tess’s eyes, Raven was like a hedgehog, stabbing nearly everyone in her circle at least once.
