Fortunately, reason prevailed. She pushed at his hand. “We won’t gossip when we get back. Please let go.”

“Never again. It will never happen again,” he said, then firmly led her towards his car.

Liana stopped, refusing to get into the passenger door he held open. “I drove here myself.”

“She can drive it back.”

“She’s not feeling well.”

“So we’re taking her with us?”

Seeing Liana’s resolute stance, Elian glanced at the pale faced Chloe.

Yes, her pallor clearly indicated she was unwell.

But Elian truly didn’t want to bring her along.

“Not ‘we.’ I will.”

Liana insisted, trying to pull away again.

He had come here with Anya. How could she possibly get in his car?

Especially when he opened the passenger door, she immediately took two steps back. “Elian, I won’t get in

this car.”

Seeing her adamant refusal, Elian didn’t argue. He simply nodded. “Wait a moment.”

Then Chloe and Liana watched as he took out his phone.

“Yes, send a car to the hospital parking lot. As quickly as possible.”

He hung up.

Through it all, he never released Liana’s hand in the cold breeze.

After he finished the call, Liana turned to Chloe. “Go wat in our car.”

Chloe nodded and retreated to their sedan parked not fr away.

Elian turned back to Liana. “Who told me she wouldn’t dome?”

Liana didn’t want to discuss it. She just wanted her hand back.

His palm was warm, disturbingly so.

“Go ahead and struggle. If my wound starts bleeding again, you’ll have to deal with it, Mrs. Locke.”

Elian reminded her in a low, unhurried voice.

“Whoever you got hurt for can tend to you. Let go of me.”

“No.”

This time, his grip was firm. He guided her to the car door, positioning himself in front of her. One hand rested on her waist, the other cupped her slightly chilled cheek.

“I came here specifically for you. I thought we’d have the whole day to ourselves. I booked the best suite with a view. I wanted… to go back tomorrow morning.

His hand gently stroked her side as he explained his purpose in coming.

How could Liana believe him?

She had just seen him holding Anya at the hospital.

Liana found his seemingly sincere eyes untrustworthy and turned her face away.

In under ten minutes, a Lincoln Navigator pulled into the lot.

The driver stepped out, bowing slightly. “Mr. Locke. Miss Forrest.”

Elian glanced at him, still holding Liana’s hand. “This is my wife, Liana.”

The driver froze, then stammered an apology. “My apologies! I thought-no, only Mrs. Locke could have such breathtaking beauty. It must be Mrs. Locke—”

“You’re making it worse. Thank your boss for me.”

Elian politely cut him off, though a new suspicion was already forming in his mind-one he was determined to clarify tonight.

“Yes, sir.”

The driver hurried to open the rear door for Liana.

Liana gave him a polite smile but looked towards their own car. Knowing further resistance was futile, she called Chloe. “We’re changing cars.”

Okay”

Chloe agreed, emerging from their sedan wrapped in her coat. “It’s so cold.”

Cerlin quickly.”

Lam moved to help her, but the driver was faster.

Chile settled into the back seat. “I’m going to lie down You take the front.”

“Okay” Liam agreed

Elim wandhed their exchange silently. “Someone will dive your car back for you.”

Min

Liana ducted in the passenger seat. Elian placed his hand protectively above her head as she entered.

Liana didn’t thank him for the small courtesy. He’d probably done the same for other women.
