Agnes had no idea how long she had been shut inside when her phone suddenly rang.

She grabbed it in a rush. Polly’s voice came through immediately.

“Agnes, Rita’s going to be okay! A group of people showed up at the hospital just now.

“They brought the doctors‘ antivenom for the Montara coral snake, and Rita is clearly doing much better now.

“Nadia has also been transferred to a regular ward. Agnes, you don’t have to worry anymore!

The moment Agnes heard that, the weight pressing on her chest finally eased.

She couldn’t help muttering to herself that Raymond really moved unbelievably fast.

Only then did she finally calm down enough to think things through. There was no way coral snake venom could just appear in her studio out of nowhere.

She needed to go to the hospital and ask Nadia and Rita what had actually happened.

What exactly took place at the studio while she had gone back to the Newton Estate that night?

As she was lost in thought, the door suddenly opened, and a tall figure appeared.

His low, steady voice broke the silence.

“It’s taken care of. Next time something urgent happens, talk to me first.”

Agnes was still unsettled and eager to find answers from Nadia and Rita.

She said quickly, “Thank you.”

As she walked past him, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

His dark eyes locked onto hers.

“I spent the entire night pulling strings, contacting Montara, and using every resource I had to fix this for you.

“And you’re just going to brush me off with two words?”

Agnes pushed against him, but the more she resisted, the closer he pressed.

She frowned. “What else do you want!

Raymond’s tone softened. “I want a meal you cook.”

Agnes blinked, caught off guard. She had expected some unreasonable demand, but it was just a meal.

“That’s it?”

Raymond replied, “Mm…”

It sounded simple, but inside him, the feeling ran deep.

Back then, Agnes used to cook for him every day and wait for him to come home, and he had never valued it.

Now those ordinary days had become what he missed the most.

Agnes stayed quiet for a moment before saying, “Okay. But I need to go to the hospital first.”

Joy flashed openly across Raymond’s face, impossible to hide.

He slowly let her go and reminded her to be careful.

Agnes headed to the hospital and spoke with the doctor for a while.

Rita was still in the sterile intensive care unit. The doctor said she needed to remain under observation for a few more days.

Agnes stood outside the glass, looking in at her. As long as she was alive, that was enough.

After that, she went to the general ward to see Nadia.

Nadia was recovering well, though her face still looked pale and weak.

When she saw Agnes, she tried to sit up.

Agnes hurried over and gently pressed her back down. “Hey, no, stay lying down.”

Nadia said, “Agnes, I’m really fine now. Look at me. I’m completely okay. I’m tough. Cough…. cough…

Agnes said, “Alright, alright, you’re the toughest. Tell me what happened last night.

“How did you and Rita get poisoned like that? And by snake venom of all things…”

Nadia frowned, ‘Rita and I were at the studio last night. Everything was normal. Then suddenly out of nowhere, a snake appeared,

“Neither of us noticed it at all. We were still talking.

“Then, Rita suddenly screamed. I turned toward her, and there was a snake right beside her!”

Fear showed on Nadia’s face as she continued.

“It must have bitten her then. I rushed over to help, and then… I got bitten too by accident…”

As she spoke, Nadia showed her arm. Two dark puncture marks were clearly visible.

“After that, we both blacked out. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital.

“I heard Rita was in critical condition. It scared me so much. Agnes, she’s going to be okay, right?”

Agnes said, “She’ll be fine. Don’t worry. Get some rest. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

After reassuring Nadia, Agnes left the hospital.

She didn’t return to the Newton Estate. Instead, she went straight to the studio.

She spent the entire night reviewing the surveillance footage, but she didn’t see anything suspicious.

No matter how she thought about it, it didn’t add up. Then one name surfaced in her mind. Monica. Was it her?
