Vicky's work was flexible and she could design dresses while caring for Tyler, so she had not been to the studio in recent times.
After another week, Vicky received Cece's call out of the blue one day.
"Vicky, are you free to talk now?"
Cece knew that Tyler was injured and that Vicky had been taking care of him, so she had not called Vicky and only checked on her every day via messages to not disturb her.
Noticing Cece's odd tone, Vicky asked, "Did something happen, Cece?"
Cece sounded slightly hysterical. "Vicky, can you… Can you please help Jennifer? I... I can't hide her any longer."
"Jennifer?"
"The friend I went to pick up from the airport before. She's my childhood friend and was the one who lent me money to run away from my family. Something happened to her and she came to seek refuge with me...but the people who have been searching for her haven't given up and came all the way here."
Cece lowered her voice and explained, "I kept Jennifer in my place, but I realized that someone has been following me lately, and I'm suspecting that those people have found where Jennifer is..."
"Who is looking for your friend?" Vicky asked.
"It’s Jennifer's scum of a fiance! He knew her since they were kids, but he fell in love with another woman... His family didn't approve of that woman and asked this guy to marry Jennifer to get him to give up, but..."
Cece paused for a moment, before continuing in frustration. "That scum is head over toes over that witch and wouldn't give up on her. He even proposed to marry Jennifer just to use her as a decoy and requested to divorce her once everything was settled.
"Jennifer has been in love with him for the longest time and accepted his unreasonable request, but...that witch is a goody-two-shoes! I heard that she got sick and needed a new kidney but haven't been able to find a matching one. After a long search, it turns out that Jennifer shared the same blood type as that witch! Jennifer might be willing to suffer for the man she loves but not for some homewrecker, so she ran out. This scum just keeps chasing after her to have her kidney!
