"Alright, Celine, I''ll have the car ready. We''re going to the hospital right now!" Sonia dere.


    Though Celine had no real intention of saving Hayden, she couldn''t refuse. There was something off about the whole situation.


    She had a strong feeling that both Hayden and Lucy were hiding something, a secret that someone was determined to keep buried forever.


    The only way to uncover the truth was to wake Hayden up.


    At Tate Manor, everyone had their own hidden motives, and Celine knew she would need to uncover them all herself.


    Celine and Sonia arrived at the hospital.


    Inside the ward, Lucy had been sitting vigntly by Hayden''s side, ying the part


    of the devoted wife who would never leave him.


    When she saw Celine and Sonia enter, her expression froze in shock. "Celine, what are you doing here?"


    Sonia stepped forward. "I asked Celine toe."


    "Mom, why would you do that?" Lucy snapped.


    Sonia''s gaze shifted to Hayden, still unconscious. "I want Celine to treat him."


    What?


    Lucy''s eyes widened. "No! That''s not possible!"


    "Why not?" Celine immediately challenged.


    Lucy hesitated, clearly caught off guard. "I..."


    Celine stepped forward, her lips curving into a knowing smile as she locked eyes with Lucy. "I heard Hayden''s fall left him in a vegetative state. As his wife, wouldn''t you want him to recover instead of spending the rest of his life in a hospital bed?


    "I''m Dr. C, the nation''s renowned genius, and Mrs. Tate Senior specifically asked me to treat him. Yet, here you are, trying to stop me. Isn''t that a bit strange?"


    As she spoke, Celine regarded Lucy with a sharp, suspicious gaze.


    Lucy froze, her body tensing.


    Sonia''s expression grew darker as she turned to Lucy. "That''s a good question. Lucy, why are you so against this? Don''t you want Hayden to wake up, or are you hiding something from me?"


    Lucy seethed with frustration-Celine seemed to ruin her ns wherever she went.


    She quickly forced a sorrowful look onto her face and said, "Mom, how could you say that? You know how much I love Hayden. How could you even doubt my intentions?"


    Sonia had always believed in Lucy''s devotion, given how obsessed she was with Hayden.


    "Mom, I stopped Celine because I don''t trust her," Lucy insisted. "Think about it-she''s made it clear she hates our family. She''d love nothing more than to see us all fall apart. How could you let her treat Hayden when her motives are so


    wn?


    questionable?


    "What if she uses this chance to harm him? What are we supposed to do then? I''d rather spend my entire life caring for Hayden than risk letting Celine hurt him!"


    Lucy''s words struck deeply, causing Sonia''s resolve to waver.


    Celine, on the other hand, became even more cautious, eyeing Lucy warily.


    "Mrs. Tate Senior, if you don''t trust me, then don''t ask for my help. Since it''s clear you don''t, I''ll take my leave."


    She turned on her heel, heading toward the door.


    A smug smile flickered on Lucy''s lips.


    But just as Celine reached the doorway, Sonia''s voice rang out. "Celine, stay!"


    Lucy froze, and her heart skipped a beat.


    Celine halted in her tracks and turned to face Sonia.


    Sonia''s eyes burned with determination as she dered, "Hayden is already in a vegetative state, and you''re the only one who can save him. Trust isn''t given halfway-if we choose to trust, we must do so fully. Treat him I need Hayden to wake up!"
