The sunlight streamed in at an angle, casting a soft glow on the hospital room's white walls. Barbara sat on the hospital bed while Sophia sat beside her, feeding her fruit. Aveline stood at a respectful distance and greeted, "Madam Barbara."

Barbara didn't even glance at her. Instead, she said to Sophia, "It's a good time now, how about you take me for a walk?"

Sophia nodded. "Alright."

She and the nurse helped Barbara from the bed into a wheelchair, and then pushed her out of the room. As they passed Aveline, Sophia glanced at her with a cold smirk.

Aveline frowned slightly and turned to follow, but a bodyguard at the door stopped her.

"Madam Barbara instructed you to wait here."

Aveline's heart sank with a sense of foreboding. She stepped back a couple of paces, and as the door closed, she pulled out her phone to contact someone, only to find there was no signal. The room was equipped with a signal jammer!

Her expression darkened immediately. What was Barbara up to? Why was she being kept here? Aveline couldn't understand.

With the bodyguard preventing her from leaving, she had no choice but to stay and wait. She sat on the sofa, watching the minutes tick by as the sun set, and Barbara did not return.
