Luca's figure disappeared at the entrance of the ICU, and a man emerged from around the corner.

He had just sent all the photos he took to Karen.

In Mallory Manor, Karen sat on the couch with one of her hands holding the freshly brewed floral tea prepared by the maid. She held her phone with her other hand, swiping the screen as she looked at the pictures.

As Karen looked at the photos sent by the private detective she hired, she recognized the man in them as Johann.

While she observed the distance between Johann and Luca, Karen raised an eyebrow and quipped with a hint of sarcasm, "She's quite a player."

The maid, who was steeping the tea, turned around and gave Karen a puzzled look. Then, she asked, "Madam?"

"I wasn't talking about you," Karen explained impatiently, glancing at the photos again. She muttered to herself about how Luca had intentionally brought herself closer to the man.

It was not jealousy. It was more like she thought that Luca was very shameless.

Karen placed the teacup on the table lazily and replied, "I don't want it anymore. Take it away."

The maid put down the tea-brewing tools. She nodded and replied, "Alright, Madam. It's time for you to take your medicine."

"I'm not sick. Why should I take medicine?" Karen furrowed her brows.

The maid let out a sigh and replied, "It's blood pressure medication. The doctor said you need to take a pill in the morning and a pill in the evening to control your blood pressure."

"I told you, I'm not sick!" Impatience flashed across Karen's eyes. She turned off the phone screen and rose to her feet.

The maid immediately added, "Madam, the doctor said that if you don't take the blood pressure medication and your blood pressure isn't well controlled, you might end up needing stronger shortterm medications with significant side effects."

Karen usually needed to take blood pressure medication to stabilize her condition. The regular medication had minor side effects, but it would not affect her mental state either.

The maid became anxious at the thought of the last few times when Karen was under the influence of the side effects.
