On the other side.

Vivienne and Logan were led to a secluded backyard behind the villa.

The yard, much like the villa, bore the charm of rustic architecture.

Once they were left alone, Logan set down his medical bag and turned to Vivienne, anxiety etched on his face, "Ms...."

But he was silenced by a sharp look from Vivienne.

Logan glanced around. Despite the quietness of the villa's backyard and the lack of visible onlookers, he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.

Changing his approach, Logan said, "We must be exhausted. Let's rest for today. Tomorrow, you can sort through the herbs we need, and I'll prepare a medicinal bath."

As he spoke, Vivienne pulled out her smartphone, which swiftly transformed into a mini-computer. Her fingers danced over it rapidly. Moments later, she tucked the device away.

Logan gestured to his mouth, waiting for Vivienne's nod before speaking again, "Ms. Vivienne, did they plant surveillance in our room?"

Vivienne nodded, "It's taken care of."

She had just manipulated the surveillance feed, ensuring their watchers saw a fabricated image instead of their real actions. Relieved, Logan then broached another subject, "Was that Mr. Ellington earlier? He's the spitting image of Mr. Ellington!"
