No Escape from Love novel Chapter 196

Oliver poured me a cup of tea. "Serena, you were really impressive back there."

"Really?" I took a big gulp of tea before looking up at him. "Honestly, I'm freaking out on the inside."

"If Mr. Hastings had seen you today, he would've been proud."

At the mention of Alex, my heart clenched with worry and sorrow.

"What's our next move?" Oliver asked.

"We're going to the hospital to see Julian." I grabbed my bag and stood up. "Whoever started the trouble should end it."

…

At the hospital, I ran into Elena in the hallway. The moment she saw me, she charged at me while shouting. Oliver reacted quickly, stepping in front of me to block her.

"Serena, you actually dare to show up?" Her voice was half warning, half gloating.

I looked at her, puzzled. "Why wouldn't I?"

"You had the audacity to do something like this! Let me tell you, the Blake family won't let this slide. Alex is done for this time." Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and excitement.

I studied her expression for a moment before suddenly laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Elena snapped.

"I'm laughing at you for being delusional." I shook my head. "The investigation isn't even over yet. Are you a police officer? How can you be so sure this has anything to do with Alex?"

"You—" She refused to accept it, but before she could argue, a voice came from inside the ward.
