Theo was surprised to see Mabel enter. He fixed his gaze on her and asked, “Who told you I was here?”

Mabel looked up, her expression blank, not realizing her mistake.

Theo continued, his voice hardening, “It’s a big scandal for my family that I had a car accident under the influence. They managed to keep it under wraps so well last night that not even the reporters knew I was in the hospital. How did you find out and how did you know which ward I’m in?” He clenched his jaw and demanded, “Explain yourself.”

Mabel was taken aback. This was not how she had envisioned their conversation starting. She had planned to give Theo the lunch box first, hoping it would touch his heart. Now her lips quivered as she hesitated to admit that she had hired a private detective to follow him, knowing full well the consequences. Standing there, she trembled with fear.

“If you’re too scared to tell me, that’s fine. Did you have something else you wanted to say by coming here?” Theo asked, his interest waning. He figured if he really wanted to know, he could just ask his assistant to find out. He decided that involving Mabel’s family would be the most direct way to address the issue with her. She could only blame herself for the bad timing.

Seeing Theo’s casual demeanor, Mabel’s spirits lifted. She interpreted his relaxed attitude as a sign of tolerance and mistakenly thought he held no resentment towards her. She placed the food in front of him, lowered her head shyly, and whispered, “I just wanted to make sure you’re okay. I made this food for you.”
