This Hospital was where Listina was being treated, and Felix had never once mentioned it to her.

If Listina had a fiancé who had stayed devotedly by her side all these years, then what role did Felix play in the picture? Was he

Carol texted Felix.

[You're still at the hospital?]

[Yep, do you know about this? I was thinking of digging a little deeper.]

[Carol, I'm not working late tonight. Weren't you planning a surprise for me?]

Her cheeks flushed, and a smile curled at her lips.

[I'll head back soon. There are a bit of health problems with my dad, but he's okay now.]
