Audrey’s POV

Dr. Evans sighed and looked at me directly.

“Audrey, if Blake came here to help his Miss Rose find her missing phone, as you claim, wouldn’t he have immediately demanded it from you when he entered the room?”

I froze. She had a point.

“Yet,” Dr. Evans continued, “you saw what happened. When Blake arrived, he didn’t rush straight to your room. He stood outside talking to me first.”

I lifted my head slowly, replaying the scene. Blake hadn’t barged in demanding the phone.

“What did he say to you?” My voice came out smaller than I intended.

“He asked about your health. Specifically, he wanted to know if there was something wrong with your stomach, since I’m a

specialist in gastric cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic.”

My breath caught.

“When I told him Ethan brought you here because he’s Alexander’s roommate, Blake pressed further. He asked about your vomiting blood, whether we’d run any tests, and if we’d confirmed that you were healthy.”

She gave me a meaningful look. “Only after I assured him you weren’t seriously ill. ne come in to see you.”

Blake had been asking about my health first? Not about the phone?

“If he was here to confront you or retrieve that phone,” Dr. Evans said, “why would he spend so much time inquiring about your medical condition?”

I sat motionless, my face draining of color. Had I misfead everything?

If Blake truly had been worried about me… and I attacked him the moment he walked in.

My phone rang, making me jump. Ethan checked the screen,

“Michael Chen? Who’s that?”

“Blake Parker’s assistant,” I replied.

Ethan was about to reject the call when I stopped him. “No, wait. I’ll answer.”
