It wasn't until Leo was wheeled out of the operating room that | finally saw Yasmine and Nicholas in the ward.

The two of them exchanged a silent glance when they sawand turned away in unison, as if by mutual

agreement.

| couldn't help but feel that the tension between them had somehow lessened. But it was just as well-I didn't

dwell on it.

| stayed with Yasmine to help settle Leo into the ward before pulling her to rest in the adjacent room.

In just a few hours, Yasmine had grown visibly haggard. "The doctor said it was fortunate the shot missed its

mark. A little to the left, and..."

"Leo is lucky. He'll be fine," | reassured her again. Then, glancing up, | noticed Nicholas standing at the doorway,

looking atwith pitiful eyes like an abandoned puppy.

| opened my mouth, thinking of inviting him in, but decided against it. Perhaps he was mindful of the impropriety

of entering Yasmine's ward.

Still, his gaze was so open and pleading, as though he were seeking comfort. It was strange he rarely revealed

such an expression in front of others.

Noticing the atmosphere, Yasmine said, "Alright. Go on now. Letrest for a bit."

| was about to protest, unwilling to leave her alone in the hospital, but before | could speak, Nicholas nodded. "If

you need anything, just call me."

With slight pushing and pulling, | was coerced into Nicholas’ car. It was then that | realized what had just

happened. "Why were you in such a rush to leave?"

He hesitated for a moment while starting the car. "It's nothing. You staying there would've made your friend feel

"Leo just cout of surgery. How could she rest? Ariana, if it werelying on the operating table, would you

stay by my side or go rest?"

Nicholas gripped the steering wheel tightly, his voice carrying a subtle nervousness.

someone as handsas him couldn't withstand the toll of an entire day spent in high-strung tension.

"Don't say things like that. Just stay healthy, okay? And thank you for what you did today, but please don't do

anything so dangerous again—it's too reckless."

His voice grew tight, betraying his unease. "I wasn't thinking about anything else at the tI just didn't want

you to get hurt."

After he said this, he kept glancing atthrough the rearview mirror. | could almost guess what he wanted to

hear-probably something along the lines of "I care about you".

But considering what had recently happened between us, if | admitted that | cared about him, what would that

imply?

Seeing his growing disappointment, | closed my eyes slowly. It wasn't until we were nearing the Coral Villa that |

finally spoke.

"Tomorrow, can you stay hand look after Tabitha and Cory? I'll be going to the police station, then to the

prison. | want to check on Frances and Claudia."

Nicholas' face turned slightly pale. "Tomorrow? That won't work..."
