When the car arrived at the hospital minutes later, the doctor was already on standby. He wasted no time in giving Nicole an examination.

“How is it?”

The doctor paused for a moment before answering him. “Mr. Seet, I doubt this was one of Mrs. Seet’s episodes. She seems to have collapsed due to a sudden increase in her blood pressure.”

“Will she be fine?” Evan’s voice was full of concern.

“Don’t worry Mr. Seet, Mrs. Seet should come to in a while.”

His words greatly relieved Evan. Taking a seat by her bedside, he silently prayed for her well-being.

When Avril arrived at the Imperial Garden, Evan and Nicole were not around. Hence, she found a reason to talk to Stephen.

She took the chance to ask him, “Why did you tell others about how I threw myself at you?”

Stephen froze at her question. Aside from Nicole and Evan, he had not told anyone. No one else should be in the know.

Noticing his lack of response, Avril proceeded to grill him further. “Do you hate me that much? To the point that you wish for everyone to mock me?”

Stephen remained silent.
