Elara had no idea that Adair had been harboring a grudge against her, let alone that Adair always assumed the worst of her. In truth, Elara had never mentioned anything about Adair and Asher to the family. Now, seeing Adair greet her, Elara asked, "Why'd you bring him here?" Her eyes shifted briefly to Asher.

Adair glanced at the man beside her and deliberately looped her arm through his. "He's my boyfriend. I came to visit Mrs. Hawthorne."

Elara smirked faintly. "Aren't you worried about the family finding out you're dating someone?"

Adair raised her chin. "And what if they do? They already know.

Elara felt that Adair's tone carried a hint of sarcasm, but since their relationship was never particularly close, she didn't dwell on it. Without further ado, Elara walked into the hospital room to check on Felicity.
