The bright sunlight shone on her face; it made her face look even paler than usual.

Seeing how worried and panicked she was, it truly pained Serena's heart.

After a while, Serena signed and answered, "Leah, he's fine. His injury would recover in no time if he rested well."

Serena was still talking, but Leah did not pay attention to her anymore. She was relieved that Alfred was fine.

She recalled how he protected her; she was touched, and her eyes reddened with joy. "That's great..."

Serena's eyes reddened upon seeing Leah's reaction.

If she ever gets to know the truth in the future, will she be able to withstand it?

Serena held her in her arms, and she tried to suppress her sadness. "Alright, please take care of yourself."

Serena had finally made up her mind.

Okay, I'll keep it a secret as long as I can.

There was a delicious food smell all around the hospital.

Serena brought Leah a light dinner, but she had no appetite.

"Thank you." She just took a few bites, and then she put down the spoon and fork.

Seeing that she was still depressed, Serena forcefully forced her to eat. "Finish your porridge now; if not, I might not agree with your plan for the studio."

"After all, if my partner's physical fitness is too poor, I'll feel that I can't rely on her."

Leah knew that she was being kind to her; she felt heartwarming. "Okay, I'll finish the food."

I'm so grateful for having such a good friend by my side during my darkest time.

After she finished her food, Serena prepared to go home.

"There's still no update from the police... The culprit is not caught yet, so you should be careful."


Before Serena left, she solemnly warned Leah not to get out of the ward.

Leah was taken aback, and she forced a smile. "If this is the case…"

She should have expected it; the police could not get any leads for Anna's car accident either.

After Serena left, the ward fell into silence again, and the sunlight was getting dim outside of the window.

The night fell, she stared at the moon, and she was somehow feeling uneasy. She could not stop thinking about the scene where Alfred saved her life.

I have to see for myself that he's okay; until then, I can rest assured.

Early the next day, Serena brought her breakfast to visit her again.

"After you go through some more tests this morning, you can be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon."

She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly. "Do you know which ward Alfred is in? I want to visit him before I leave the hospital."

"After all, he risked his life to save me. I want to thank him in person." She was talking softly while eating porridge; she sounded cheerful and relaxed.

Serena froze as she panicked, and she blurted, "N-No. You can't visit him."

If she insists on visiting Alfred, she will soon know that he's dead!

Her unnatural tone raised Leah's suspicion. Leah put down the bowl of porridge and asked in confusion, "Why can't I go see him?"

She thought of something, and her face turned pale. "Could it be that he is actually severely injured now, so I can't visit him?"

Serena was stunned. She was about to hastily explain, but someone spoke before her.

"It's not your business."

Han pushed the door open, and he entered the ward with a gloomy expression.

Leah was startled; she then lowered her head.

Oh… I forget that I'm a crown to him. But why does he lose so much weight in one night? Why does he seem so miserable?

Han saw the sadness in her eyes, but he had to act cruelly for her sake.

He slowly approached her bedside and looked down at her coldly. "Leah, are you not going to stop until you kill him?"

"Everyone who has anything to do with you will end up miserable."

"He's my man, so it's none of your business."

"Mind your own business and get the money ready as soon as possible."

It was rare for him to speak a lot, and all of his words tore her heart apart.

She was devastated at his cruel words; her hands were trembling. "Okay, I got it."

"As you wish, I won't be involving myself with him as long as he's fine."

Maybe he's right; I'll only bring more bad luck to Alfred.

Serena was not angry when she saw him treating Leah like this; she was even grateful for him.

Before leaving the ward, she looked at him expectantly.

So is this how he tries to protect Leah from blaming herself?

After making sure that Leah had completely given up the idea of visiting Alfred, Han also left.
