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

just a distant cousin? Or was their relationship tightly bound due to their parents' connections?

Carol texted Felix.

[Hey, I'm at the hospital and heard the doc mention Listina's got a fiancé. Is that for real? How cI've never heard about this

before?]

She sent a curious emoji, not expecting a reply since it was his working hours. But he replied swiftly.

[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?]

Only then did Carol remember her plans, which had slipped her mind because of Abner's unexpected visit to the hospital.

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.]

Felix stared at his phone screen, his expression darkening - a rare sight.

Without overthinking, Carol left the hospital after sending the message. Returning to the place Felix rented, she unlocked the door
