Zoe felt a lingering sense of confusion as she made her way back home. She clearly remembered
setting the alarm and ensuring it was properly set before going to bed. She truly could not recall turning
it off at any point during the night.
As she stepped out of the elevator, she coincidentally locked eyes with Leanna, who was on her way to
the grocery store. Leanna inquired as she was quite surprised to see Zoe, "Hey Zoe, where did you go
so early this morning?"
Zoe wanted to downplay the situation, so she nonchalantly shifted her body as if she had just finished
an invigorating workout. She responded with a casual tone, "Oh, I was just out for a morning run. Got a
bit sweaty, you know? I should hit the shower soon." She wanted to prevent her friend from feeling
concerned.
Unfortunately for her, Leanna seemed to notice something on Zoe's sleeve. So, she grabbed onto
Zoe's arm and examined the label closely. "Did you go for a run at the hospital?"
At that moment, Zoe realized she had forgotten to remove the incriminating evidence. Thus, she swiftly
tore off the small hospital label, crumpled it in her hand, and chuckled sheepishly, "Nah, it's nothing. I
had a sudden stomach issue in the middle of the night, so I went to the hospital for a quick check-up.
I'm all sorted now. Look at me, I feel super energized."
Leanna furrowed her brow and asked in concern, "What did you eat that gave you gastroenteritis?"
Zoe paused for a moment, considering how to explain the situation. "Well, it's a long story. Remember
the woman I mentioned last night? The one I bumped into in the restroom? Turns out she's Brandon's
ex-girlfriend."
Zoe proceeded to recount the events of the previous night to Leanna. "I guess you can't mix sushi and
BBQ together after all. I mean, I've never had any issues eating BBQ from the place downstairs
before."
Leanna scolded Zoe and did not accept her shabby explanation at face value. "You really think this is
just about sushi and BBQ? Brandon crossed a line this time. Are you really just going to let it slide and
pretend nothing happened?"
Zoe glanced down, speaking softly, "Well, Daniel has already punched him once, and I'm not utterly
blameless either. So, maybe it's better to just call it even."
Leanna vehemently disagreed, retorting, "No, those are two different things! You need to confront him
and find out the truth. If he continues to have any kind of ambiguous relationship with his ex-girlfriend,
you should break up with him as soon as possible. It's not like you can't live without him. And I'm sure
Leo and Sheila would be on your side if they found out about this."
"Okay, okay, I know. I'll talk to him after I get through this busy period. But Nana, something strange
happened to me at the hospital last night. I clearly remember setting my alarm clock before going to
bed, but it was turned off when I woke up this morning. It's honestly giving me the creeps…"
Leanna paused briefly before inquiring, "Which hospital did you go to?"
Zoe's memory was triggered by Leanna's question. "Well… um… but it doesn't seem possible. The
infusion and inpatient departments are in different areas. Plus, when I arrived at the hospital, it was
already around 2.00AM or 3.00AM. There's no way he could have been wandering around the hospital
at that time."
Leanna seemed to have caught onto something odd and pressed on, "But you mentioned that Daniel
had linked your phone number to something when you were pregnant. He would receive a notification
as long as you checked in at the hospital."
Leanna's words struck a chord with Zoe, and suddenly the memories came rushing back. It had
happened before Daniel left for Lachstein. He was constantly busy and could not spare time to
accompany her to the hospital. Yet, he still wanted to ensure her well-being and monitor any potential
complications with the baby. So, he secretly set up the notification without informing her. Although she
had complained about it at the time, she had actually enjoyed the special attention deep down.
So, someone really was with me last night! It wasn't a dream! Oh, my God! Zoe thought.
Meanwhile, Leanna observed her friend's ever-changing expression, from stunned to bewildered, then
to shocked and surprised, and finally settling into a state of utter bafflement. She found it quite
amusing. "Why don't you rest at home in the morning? I'll have Freddie handle everything related to the
shoot. You can go to the filming location in the afternoon directly."
Although Zoe had no clue about the specifics, she instinctively nodded in agreement. Leanna then
entered the password to the apartment and pulled Zoe inside. "Alright, get some rest while I bring you
some breakfast."
Zoe sat on the couch and still felt somewhat dazed long after Leanna had left. She could not believe
that Daniel had not only stayed by her side throughout the night but also turned off her alarm.
Moreover, he left no trace behind when he departed. Was it to prevent any misunderstandings, or was
there another reason? Her stomach was no longer aching, but now she had a headache from
pondering over all the confusion.
Before long, Leanna returned with some chicken soup. Initially, she had hoped that Zoe would take a
nap after having it, but Zoe's adrenaline was running high, and she was far from being able to sleep.
Leanna had already asked Freddie to handle the filming matters with the studio. So, after Zoe finished
her breakfast, she and Leanna decided to go grocery shopping.
Inside the supermarket, Zoe pushed the cart while asking, "Hey, Nana, did President Pearson mention
anything last night?"
Leanna picked up a bag of seasoning and placed it in the cart, shaking her head in response. "Nope, I
went home early last night. By the time he returned, I had already finished washing and hanging up the
clothes I changed out of."
"Good to know. By the way, have you heard anything from Ron about that person?"
Leanna paused for a moment before answering, "Sort of, it's about the woman who kidnapped Daniel."
Zoe could not believe how the conversation had veered straight into the topic she was trying to avoid.
How did they even get to this point? Nevertheless, since Leanna had already brought it up, Zoe took a
momentary pause before continuing, "Why were you looking for her?"
Leanna provided a brief explanation about the situation and then added, "Ron is familiar with certain
places and has better knowledge regarding certain specifics than us. If we want to find someone in
those areas, he's our best option."
Zoe nodded in agreement but could not help but let out a sigh. "Honestly, I never expected Ron to turn
out to be a decent person."
Leanna agreed, saying, "Yeah, he's someone who believes in repaying kindness."
Zoe and Leanna continued their conversation while purchasing a bunch of groceries before heading
back home. Once they had stored the groceries in the refrigerator, they made their way to the studio
together.
As soon as they arrived, they were approached by a female employee in a hurry. "Hey, Zoe, Leanna,
you're finally here!"
Leanna noticed the employee's distressed expression and inquired, "What's going on?"
She hurriedly explained, "About half an hour ago, we had a customer who was being extremely picky.
She criticized all our products and even drove other customers with her arrogant attitude away."
Zoe then followed the employee's gaze, and sure enough, she spotted Brandon's ex-girlfriend standing
there with a contemptuous look on her face, clutching a necklace in her hand.
As such, Zoe gestured for the employee to leave and approached the woman with a calm demeanor.
She locked her eyes with the woman and asked, "Is there a problem?"
The woman met her gaze and smirked condescendingly. "Well, I heard this jewelry store boasted about
its unique designs, so I decided to check it out. But everything here is just so ordinary. It's a shame,
really. Some people should have the decency to be self-aware and not shamelessly try to snatch things
that don't belong to them. It's such an embarrassment, don't you think?"
