Chet returned quickly to the ward after his phone call. He found Frederick and Danica sitting on the bed, facing each other, while Danica was cutting an apple. They seemed to be chatting. Chet was stunned fo

a moment but soon came to his senses.

"Miss Randolph, you' re awake so soon? Frederick..."

Chet was contemplating if he should leave the ward.

What if Alicia returned while Danica was still there?

Under normal circumstances, he would have avoided a situation like that. However, when he looked at Frederick, he was a little hesitant. He was confused.

Didn't Frederick already make his stance on Danica clear? What's the situation then? Should he remind Frederick?

Frederick was relieved when Chet appeared. He said immediately, "Oh, that's right. There's a meeting scheduled for today, right?"

Hearing that, Danica stood up and said, "Then, you two can catch up. I'll go back to my room. I'll see

you later."

Chet shut the door quickly after Danica left. He had just made his way to the bed, when there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, your breakfast!"

Chet turned and asked, "Who asked you to send this to me?"

Although the nurse at the door looked familiar, Chet was still a little wary.

"Are you Mr. Reynes? It's a lady I met in the corridor who asked me to send this over. She said it was for you and Mr. Clements! She mentioned her name was Miss Blanchard. She was such a beauty. She said you asked her to..."
