“Going to find Ileana?” Before Alessia could respond, Stella had already guessed
her intention.
“I'm at the café right outside the alley.”
A small smile tugged at Alessia’s lips. “I'll be there in a minute.”
They’d known each other since grade school; their unspoken understanding was second nature by now. By the
tAlessia arrived, Stella was already waiting for her in the car.
“Which hospital?”
“Harmony General.” Alessia snapped on her helmet and reached to steau, nerself at Stella’s waist. As soon as
she did, Stella twisted the throttle. The engine roared to life, wind howling past their ears as they sped off into
the city.
Meanwhile, someone else had already arrived at the hospital.
Lucy had heard the news that morning and taken the afternoon off to come. When she got there, Ileana was in
the middle of a tantrum. The only person in the room was Dawson, the butler; no one else had come.
“Givemy dad’s phone! York pusheddown the stairs-he’s trying to kill me! Get him out of here right
now!”
Fortunately, it was a private VIP suite, so lleana’s shrieks didn’t disturb the rest of
the ward.
Lucy listened to the commotion from the hallway, choosing not to enter right away. She leaned against the wall,
waiting for the right moment.

It wasn’t her idea to visit. Her father, Hargrove Summers, had insisted she come. According to him, this was the
perfect chance to build a connection with Ileana. If she happened to run into Scott while she was at it, all the
better for the Summers family’s business prospects.
Lucy didn’t hold out much hope for her father anymore, but if she and her mother wanted to maintain their
current lifestyle-and keep her father’s mistress from taking their place-she had no choice but to follow
Hargrove’s orders and try to get close to lleana.
What Hargrove hadn't counted on was that the Tate family barely cared about the daughter they'd lost for
seventeen years. Pinning his hopes on Ileana as a bridge to

the Tates was nothing but wishful thinking.
Of course, Lucy never told Hargrove he was wasting his time. Her mother was already gathering evidence of his
affairs; once the twas right, they'd take half of Hargrove’s fortune and start a new life abroad.
“Miss, Mr. Tate is busy at the moment and can’t take your call. The doctor said it’s just a fracture-you’ll be fine
after a month of rest. There's nothing to worry about,” Dawson replied calmly, unfazed by lleana’s outburst.
“And York? That's it? He tried to kill me! Aren't you going to do anything? He's a
murderer!”
“Miss, the security footage doesn’t show Mr. York pushing you,” Dawson said, his expression unchanged, every
word as formal as a legal statement.
“So because the footage doesn’t show it, that means he didn’t do it? Are you saying | threw myself down the
stairs?”
Dawson remained silent, which only

“Please, Miss, you should get srest. Once the observation period is over, we'll arrange for you to return
home.”
“I want to talk to my dad!”
“Sir is busy. Please just focus on your recovery. I'll have someone cin to clean
up.”
The door opened and Lucy straightened, acknowledging Dawson with a polite nod. He returned it with a slight
bow, stepping aside so she could enter.
As Lucy stepped into the room, her previously calm face shifted to one of concern.
