Curtis walked over to Sandy and asked, “Are you feeling hurt anywhere?”

Although it had been long since Sandy had returned, Curtis had been indifferent to her and wouldn’t call her Mom. His sudden care caught her by surprise.

Sandy replied, “No. It’s just a minor scratch on my arm. The one who got shot—”

She stopped abruptly as her face turned pale.

“Curtis, you should stay here with Mrs. Verlice.” Jeremy knew Curtis had something to ask Sandy, so he quickly left the ward with the cart.

Curtis walked over to the table, poured Sandy a glass of warm water, pulled a chair, and sat down next to the bed.

“How did you run into him?” Curtis asked calmly.

After holding the glass of water in her hands quietly for a while, Sandy stated, “I went to help at Linda’s shop this morning. After I received a call from the housekeeper in the afternoon, I was heading home when I met him unexpectedly at the mall.”

Sandy was told that Alfred refused to eat and thought he was feeling unwell. That was why she rushed home to check on him. That was when she bumped into Boniel at the revolving door and dropped her phone.

When she was about to crouch down, Boniel picked up the phone before her and returned it to her.

“Thank you.” Sandy flashed a faint smile, and her face turned pale instantly when she raised her head and saw Boniel. Her body hit the glass door after she stumbled backward.

Although Boniel was middle-aged, he appeared tall and charming. He had blond hair and mesmerizing blue eyes.

When he met Sandy’s eyes, he was taken aback, and his eyes widened. “Xandra…”

The man almost lost his voice, his eyes ablaze.

“I’m not her! You’ve got the wrong person!” Sandy pushed Boniel, who was approaching her, away before leaving in a mess with her head dropped low.

At the stairwell outside of the mall, she lost her balance and almost slipped and fell.
