Den and Ste stepped out of the room, only to be greeted by Bob. "Ste,


    how wasst night with Den?"


    Ste nodded happily. "Dad, Den is officially part of our family now."


    Bob burst into heartyughter. "That''s right! Den, we''re family now. I''ve already spoken to him, and he''s on his way here."


    Den''s eyes narrowed slightly. "He ising?"


    "Yes," Bob confirmed. "He''sing to attend your and Ste''s wedding."


    Den was taken aback. "Wedding?"


    "That''s right, Den. I''ve spoken to him, and he''s agreed to attend. I''ve already started making arrangements. You and Ste will be married in three days!"


    Den pursed his lips. Bob was truly a cunning old fox. First, he had orchestrated Den and Ste''s night together, and now he was announcing their wedding in just three days.


    Den had originally nned to stall, but with the wedding set so soon and that important figure personally attending, he had no room to refuse


    Ste looked at him expectantly. "Den, don''t you want to marry me?"


    Both she and Bob were watching him closely. After a brief pause, Den replied calmly, "Of course not. I was just thinking that three days might be too rushed. Ste, don''t you want a custom-made wedding dress?"


    Ste''s face lit up with a radiant smile. "Don''t worry about that, Den. I already ordered my dress a while ago. Dad, you''ll have to give Den some time off these next few days so he can apany me to the shop. I want to be the most beautiful bride in the world!"


    Bob chuckled. "No problem at all. You two go ahead and take care of your preparations."


    Ste beamed with joy.


    Hailey took a long time to recover her strength. When she finally woke up, Den was already gone.


    She knew he had left, but where had he gone?


    Hailey picked up her phone. She was to send him a message, but


    te hesitated, not wanting to disturb

    if he was busy with work.


    Just then, her phone rang. Someone was calling her.


    Hailey answered the call, and Aileen''s voice immediately came through. "Hello, is this Hailey?"


    Hailey tightened her grip on the phone. "Aileen, is that you?"


    Aileen burst into tears. "Hailey, I tried calling Den, but I couldn''t reach him. Mom suddenly fainted and was rushed to the hospital!"


    Aileen was still a child. She waspletely panicked, sobbing uncontrobly.


    Hailey shot up from bed. "Aileen, don''t cry. I''ming to the hospital right now."


    Hailey rushed to the hospital as quickly as she could. John had already arranged for Pam to be admitted to a VIP room.


    At the entrance, Hailey ran into John, who stopped her. "Ms. Young."


    "Dr. Marlock, what happened? Why did Mrs. Zamora suddenly copse?"
