When Steven finally stepped fully into the ward everyone noticed he was gripping someone by the cor.
They looked closer and saw the very person they’d had people searching for–Jolie–standing at the door, dragged in by Steven.
“W–what…”
Raven’s eyes widened in shock.
Steven pressed his lips together, his expression grim.
He didn’t say anything. He simply pulled Jolie toward Tess, keeping a bit of distance as if worried she might make another move.
“What are you…”
“1
Tess was clearly surprised too.
“She was on the same flight as me. Wended together.”
Steven spoke solemnly.
Tess frowned slightly, still confused.
Steven patiently exined, “I noticed her before takeoff. She looked nervous, so I kept an eye out. Then, as soon as wended, I saw the news from Aetheris about your ident. I remembered the SUV that hit you. Jolie drove that same one when she came to see me.”
“Ah!”
The moment he finished, Jolie, who had been shrinking behind Steven with her head down, suddenly screamed.
Raven pped her. Her eyes burned as she stared at Jolie.
Jolie’s whole body jerked sideways. She covered her face, already flushed red.
She stared at Raven in terror, but Raven still looked unsatisfied and started cracking her wrist, ready to hit her again.
“Raven!”
Tess shouted sharply.

This was Aetheris. A ce ruled byw.
If Raven kept swinging and did real damage, the consequence would be ugly.
Tess pressed her lips together, suddenly remembering her year in prison.
She couldn’t let Raven get into trouble because of her.

Abel had been itching to step in too. Seeing Raven throw the punch, he’d almost enjoyed watching. But when he noticed how serious Tess looked, he moved forward and stopped Raven.
“What are you stopping me for? That animal tried to kill you! The doctor said it themselves<i>! </i>If it weren’t for your car’s safety system, you wouldn’t be lying here right now!”
Raven shouted, arms iling, ready to smash Jolie’s head in the next second.
“Raven, calm down. Listen to Tess.”
Steven freed one hand to hold her back as well.
“I need to ask her something first. After that, we’ll call the police. Don’t touch her, okay?<i>” </i>
Tess looked up at Raven, her eyes pleading.
That look froze Raven in ce. Her raised arm hung there for a moment before she finally let it fall.
But the anger in her chest hadn’t faded. She red viciously at Jolie, then mmed the door behind her on the way out.
The sound shook the room so hard that Tess felt the floor tremble.
Steven and Abel, for once, weren’t ready to fight. They exchanged a nce and stepped a little farther apart.
Steven pulled Jolie to a stop in front of Tess.
Only then did Tess notice Jolie’s legs were shaking.
Tess lifted her eyes coldly, then suddenly let out a softugh. “You’re scared now, huh?
“You weren’t scared when you wanted me dead. So why are you scared now that you’re standing in front of me?”
Her lips curved into a sweet smile. If someone didn’t know better, they might’ve thought she was joking with a friend instead of questioning a potential murderer.

Jolie’s face shifted over and over. Her fingers curled, then rxed. The red handprint on her cheek was clearly visible.
She bit her lip. “I’m not afraid of you.”
The hatred in her voice wasn’t even hidden.
Tess tilted her head. “Why do you hate me?”
“Why?”
Jolie sneered as if she’d just heard a joke. “You really don’t know? Or are you pretending? I have feelings for Steven. You act all flirty with him right in front of me, and you still dare ask why?”
With her secret exposed, Jolie seemed calmer instead of panicked–almost reckless.
Tess still looked confused. Before she could speak, Steven barked, “Jolie, I’m not into you at
pay for!” all. Your one–sided feelings aren’t something my friend and I should
Jolie had already been past caring. But when she heard that, her body trembled just slightly. It was a tiny movement, but Tess caught <i>it</i>.
Jolie had been ring at Tess, but she suddenly cracked into a grin. The smile was ugly and twisted.
“Friend?”
She stared straight into Steven’s eyes andughed wildly. “Do you seriously only see her as a friend?”
Jolie took a few sharp steps forward, eyes zing. “Say <i>it</i>. Say you don’t have feelings for her. Say it with your own mouth!”
She pushed him until his jaw tightened, and his face turned ashen.
Seeing sweat starting to bead at Steven’s temples and how he kept his lips sealed, Jolie finally rxed her shoulders. Then sheughed so hard that her body shook.
