“Mom just called me,” said the beautiful woman, her expression filled with worry. “Daddy fell ill and hadto be hospitalized. Do you want to head to the hospital first? He really wants to see you.”

“Daddy?” she exclaimed, her eyes widening in panic. “Why did he get sick? Is it something serious?”

“You’ll replace out once you go and see him, the lady replied while hailing a car. “The driver will make sureyou get off at the hospital, and Mom will be waiting for you at the entrance.”

A wave of drowsiness washed over her as she sat in the back seat of the car, resulting in heraccidentally spilling her drink.

When she awakened once more, darkness had enveloped the surroundings. And to her disbelief, shewas still inside the car.

The car swayed, steadily progressing along its path. By the light of the moon, she could discern thescenery outside the car window-a rugged mountain trail with tall reeds lining both sides. Where is this?

“Excuse me, could you please stop the car? I need to go back!” she urgently pleaded.

“Sir, you’ve taken the wrong road! I need to get to the hospital! My father is sick!” she implored, hervoice tinged with anxiety.

“Sir, please, stop the car… Stop right now!” Her desperation grew with each passing moment.

any response.

In a bedroom at Repulse Bay, sweat beads formed on her forehead, and Melinda felt as if her entirebody was bound, unable to struggle out of the dream.

“Stop the car!” she called out, her voice filled with helplessness and despair.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and took a deep breath.

“She deserves it!” Jennifer sat in front of the dressing table, applying a mask while Stephanie hadalready. styled her hair.

As the door opened, Melinda quietly appeared before them, her cheeks slightly swollen, her exhaustioncleverly concealed by makeup.

Unbeknownst to both of them, neither noticed when Melinda had silently positioned herself at the door.

Jennifer’s gaze turned momentarily cold upon Melinda’s appearance. She passed by Melinda,completely ignoring her, and headed toward the stairs.

“Miss Fox.” Melinda turned around and followed.

Stephanie trailed behind them, and the three of them descended the stairs together.

“Miss Fox, please allow me three minutes to explain,” Melinda requested as they reached the front ofthe couch.

Jennifer took a seat on the couch, appearing nonchalant as she adjusted her white gloves. “No need,”she replied as her voice filled with icy detachment. “Your explanation today is nothing but a cover-upyou’ve been thinking about.”

“Why won’t you trust others?” Melinda softly inquired, her tone devoid of complaint, brimming withpatience. “By refusing to do so, you only harm yourself. Perhaps I can assist you in replaceing a way toheal.”

Jennifer snapped, raising her eyes with a look of disgust. “I have never encountered such an audaciousindividual like you, who persists in staying despite all attempts to drive you away!”
