"I''m just now realizing he suspects everyone equally. He''spletely unhinged. He was never this bad before, but now... his behavior is honestly frightening."


    Hannah sighed deeply. "Actually, what Quennel and you just went through... I''ve been through it all before. He used to treat me the same way."


    From an outsider''s perspective, their situation was pitiable; it was hard to imagine what it must have been like for the person actually living it.


    Samuel looked at Hannah and let out a long sigh. "Hannah, I don''t mean to overstep, but the life you led before sounds terrifying. You poor thing. How can one person be so stupid? Even if you''re going to suspect someone, you don''t go about it like that."


    "You need to find at least some shred of evidence before you start throwing usations around. I just don''t understand how someone so foolish can exist."


    "You don''t need to feel sorry for me anymore. It''s all in the past. The more he acts like this, the more everyone will look down on him and see that I was the innocent one."


    Honestly, no amount of herining about how miserably he treated her couldpare to others experiencing it for themselves.


    Only by going through it could they truly understand the kind of hell she had lived in. Now Quennel had been wrongly used, Cherry had been wrongly used... everyone had been wrongly used.


    Even his beloved mistress had fallen under his suspicion. He had managed to offend every single person around him, one by one, with no regard for the consequences.


    After hanging up, Lionel sat on the sofa,pletely bewildered. He gripped his phone, his brow furrowed as he stared at the dark screen.


    The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was deeply wrong. If it was truly a coincidence, why would Hannah have been hiding on the second floor?


    If she had just happened to visit Quennel at the same time, he should have seen her the moment he walked in the door.


    He hadn''t called ahead, simply walking in when he arrived, so Quennel hadn''t been expecting him.


    But back at the hospital, he had only told the nurses he had to step out for something important; he never


    Sentioned where he was going.


    Suddenly, he thought of the hospital nurses. They were the only ones who knew he had taken leave.


    But they never seemed to interact with Hannah or Cherry. Every time they came by, there was no conversation.


    Could it be, as Cherry had sarcastically suggested, that Hannah had nted a bug or a camera in his room?


    If that were the case, he had to go back and check immediately.


    The thought spurred him to his feet. He got in his car and drove straight back to the hospital.


    Once there, he meticulously searched every corner of his room


    but found no trace of any listening devices or hidden cameras,


    So that theory was out. What on earth was going on?


    He felt like everything had be incredibly strange.


    First his name on the documents was changed, then they show up at Quennel''s house. It felt as if a pair of eyes was watching him from the
