As long as your wish is fulfilled, Ms. Jamison,” Samuel said.
His smile remained gentle. He’d changed his clothes, and the wound on his leg had been treated by the medical team.
Just then, he winced suddenly and bent forward, bracing himself against his left knee.
Yvonne immediately asked, “Is your wound hurting, Mr. Hover? I think you should go to the hospital. I’ve delayed your treatment.”
After the rescue, her ankle had already been treated. The sprain was minor, and as long as she walked slowly, it didn’t bother her much.
Meanwhile, Samuel had spotted Jared hurrying in their direction. In that case, Ms. Jamison, why don’t you accompany me to the hospital? It’s quite painful,” he said.
“Okay.”
Yvonne didn’t hesitate. She got right back into the car with him.
And the moment she did, the man who’d just claimed to be in pain shut the door with surprising speed.
“Drive,” he ordered.
“Yes, Mr. Hover.”
Asher was being extra cautious. News of Samuel getting injured couldn’t be leaked. It could have a significant impact on the Hover family.
“Ms. Jamison, could you check these medications for me? I’m not sure if I used the right ones. It feels like the pain is getting worse.”
Samuel diverted Yvonne’s attention.
Yvonne set Andrew’s posthumous work down beside her and shifted her full attention to Samuel. The guilt weighed on her even
more.
Samuel glanced at the rearview mirror. When he saw that Jared couldn’t catch up, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
At the same time, Jared thought he caught a glimpse of Yvonne’s figure as he ran out, but he couldn’t make it out clỹ.
The distance between the two doors of the venue made it difficult.
By the time he reached the spot, the car was already gone, and he didn’t even catch a glimpse of the license plate.
Rushing back to the parking lot to retrieve his car only cost him more precious time. By the time he returned, there was no sign of Yvonne anywhere.
“I didn’t imagine it. That was Yvvy. Was she the one who got Andrew’s posthumous work? But how did she manage to reserve it before the auction? And with what money? And what’s up with that luxury car that picked her up?”
Jared had missed Yvonne here, and his mind was even more chaotic than before.
How could another man be by her side, taking away what should have been his responsibility? Most importantly, who was the man who took her away? Or rather, who did she ask for help?
Was it Luther?
With no answers and only assumptions, Jared felt like he was burning from the inside out.
He looked at Yvonne’s phone and car keys sitting in the car.

Suddenly, he stopped the car, wanting to unlock her phone. But Yvonne had switched to a new
phone and changed the password.
Several failed attempts later, the phone locked on its own.
“Damn it!”
Jared completely lost it. In the unfamiliar city, he had no sense of direction and didn’t know where Yvonne was. The feeling of being cut off from her overwhelmed him.
At that moment, he realized he was the one who’d been left all alone.
Inside the car, Yvonne had finished checking the medications Samuel had used that day.
“There’s nothing wrong with these medications. Mr. Hover, once we get to the hospital, you should get a full checkup.” Yvonne glanced up and froze for a moment when she saw the highway sign outside the car window.
“We’re heading back to Jeriton City? Aren’t we going to a nearby hospital?”
Samuel leaned back in his seat. Dressed in comfortable, casual clothes instead of his usual suit, he seemed more at ease.
“If I show up at a public hospital with an injury, it’ll make the news and possibly shake up Hover Group’s stocks. The news reports only mentioned two people being trapped without naming us. To keep my identity quiet, I need to go back to my family’s private hospital in Jeriton City.”
Yvonne suddenly recalled what he’d said earlier,
“Even when you’re injured, you still have to think about these things.”
That was the burden he carried–the weight of the Hover family name. It had become such a part of him, even his instincts were conditioned to prioritize it.
“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have ended up here…”
