No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 206

So, I took a bold step and entered the last three digits of their birthdays, but quickly realized it was too obvious. Considering Herschel and Jacqueline seemed to favor Conrad a bit more, I decided to put Conrad's numbers first, followed by Dustin's.

My heart raced and my blood pressure must have hit the roof as I entered the last digit. At that moment, Luke was only about thirty feet away. I couldn't bring myself to look at him, my eyes glued to the screen instead.

As the private route on the screen brightened up, indicating I had entered the correct password, "Evergreen Wellness Retreat" appeared. I knew about Evergreen Wellness Retreat; it was one of the three health resorts I had been investigating.

This was the moment I had been working towards, and with the answer in front of me, I finally allowed myself to breathe a sigh of relief. I reached to erase my search history just as Luke pulled open the car door.

His gaze fell on my trembling hands before shifting to the navigation screen, the sweat on my back making me shiver.

"Felicia, what are you doing?" Luke asked me.

Swallowing my nerves, I blurted out, "I-I was trying to find some music to listen to but couldn't figure out how?"

The skepticism in Luke's eyes was palpable. He clearly didn't buy it.

I tried to convince him, saying my stomach was in knots, but who in their right mind would believe that someone in distress would seek solace in music? It was a poorly spun lie, but it was too late to back out now.

"So, I called my doctor friend, and she suggested listening to some soft music to calm down. She even recommended I go to the hospital for a check-up, thinking it might be acute gastritis or appendicitis."

I was not proud of how easily the lie came out. When did I become such a fibber?

But I had no choice. I needed to uncover the truth behind my father's death, whether it was truly an accident or not.

"I see," Luke handed me the medication he had bought, "Let's get you to the hospital then. What music would you like me to find for you?"
