She knew if Geoffrey went broke now, Andrea would leave him just
the same.
Yet so many people failed to understand this simple truth.
“The one who truly wants me dead isn’t just him–it’s Andrea too.”
“Today I learned he did all this just to please Andrea.
I don’t want to simply send him to prison.”
Maureen stated calmly.
She understood Andrea was the real mastermind behind the attacks.
Putting Frank behind bars would actually benefit Andrea–freeing her from his obsession.
“I want him to see Andrea for who she really is.”
Maureen reasoned that letting Frank go might invite future attacks- who knows when he might come after her again?
Better to help him see the light and break free from Andrea’s spell once and for all,
Besides, their conversation today revealed Frank’s dangerously extreme
nature.
Since Andrea wanted to use him as a weapon against her…
Why couldn’t I have Frank deal with her, just like she did?

Gareth understood what Maureen meant: “Rest well, I’ll handle this.”
After speaking, he called the doctor. They examined Maureen again, confirmed no issues, then he said goodbye and left.
When Geoffrey arrived after finishing his work, Gareth was already
gone.
Sean had come with him.
The nurse was changing Maureen’s dressing. The two didn’t enter, standing instead in the hospital garden.
Sean wondered: “How’d the crash happen out of nowhere?”
“Found the driver and car yet?”
Geoffrey told him how Gareth had tracked down the driver before he could, after Geoffrey brought Maureen to the hospital.
Sean clicked his tongue: “Guy’s got moves, beating you to it.”
Hearing this, Geoffrey suddenly asked him.
“How would you compare him to me?”
He remembered Maureen contacted Gareth first after the accident.
Sean froze.
Recovering, he chuckled.
“Geoffrey, how can he measure up to you?”
“However capable he is, doesn’t everything he has here depend on your say?”
Geoffrey listened silently, feeling little satisfaction.

“After Maureen’s accident, the first person she contacted was him.”
Sean was taken aback. After a pause, he said, “Maybe he’s good at sweet–talking. Women all fall for flattery. And that guy has such a foxy look.”
Geoffrey was extremely handsome, like an unattainable flower on a lofty peak.
As for Gareth, not only was he handsome, but he also had a devilish charm. He was just like a male fox.
Women usually can’t resist the charm of such a young heartthrob.
Sean looked down on men like Gareth. They were all looks and no substance.
“It’s getting late. You should go back.”
Geoffrey said.
Sean choked up. He hadn’t been here long, and now he was being kicked out?
“Okay.”
Though reluctant, he had no choice but to leave.
Before leaving, he couldn’t help but glance in the direction of Maureen’s ward.
Geoffrey returned to the outside of the ward.
Maureen’s medicine had been changed. She happened to look toward

the door and met his gaze.
Today, Geoffrey’s usually crisp suit was wrinkled, and there was even a hint of stubble on his jaw.
Geoffrey loved cleanliness. This was the first time Maureen had seen him so unkempt.
He seemed to notice Maureen’s confusion and walked straight over.
“I had someone bring breakfast.”
Without asking about Gareth, Geoffrey glanced at the suit jacket she had placed aside, pulled out a chair, and sat down beside her.
Maureen noticed the scars on his hand as he pulled the chair.
“Your hand?”
Geoffrey’s hands had always been beautiful–how did they get so many
new scars?
“Just minor injuries.”
Geoffrey sat down casually.
Maureen never realized his hand injuries came from breaking the window to rescue her.
“The doctor said you brought me to the hospital. Thank you.”
Maureen avoided mentioning Gareth, afraid he’d get angry.
Geoffrey’s expression softened: “You’re my wife. Bringing you here was natural.”
“This car accident-”

Before Geoffrey finished, Maureen cut in: “It was an accident.”
She knew how deeply Geoffrey cared about Andrea–telling the truth would make him defend her.
Geoffrey studied her intently but didn’t challenge her words.
After breakfast arrived, they ate together.
Geoffrey stayed to work in the hospital room after the meal.
Maureen needed further observation.
By evening, the night outside looked hauntingly beautiful.
Maureen read for hours before dozing off, noticing Geoffrey still hadn’t left.
In her dream, Frank appeared again.
The man glared, thrusting a long knife straight toward her throat.
“No!”
Maureen woke up drenched in/sweat, her whole body trembling.
In the dimly lit adjacent room, Geoffrey rushed over. Seeing she was unharmed, his tense heart relaxed a little.
“What happened?”
he asked.
Maureen’s eyes reddened: “I dreamed I died.”
The feeling was terrifyingly real.
