The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn) novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Did Someone Bully You?

At Hope Medical Centre.

The chilly air greeted Evelyn the moment she stepped out of the car. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Lisa, her bodyguard, followed closely behind, with her usual calm posture and sharp eyes scanning everything within a twelve-meter radius.

Evelyn had already told her she needed privacy later, especially once Stella arrived.

Something felt serious. Stella never refused a simple phone conversation unless the matter was personal, heavy, or both.

Evelyn walked toward the entrance while typing a message to Stella.

She focused on her phone, trying to text and simultaneously search for the right hallway.

Despite having visited the hospital a few times, the layout felt strangely unfamiliar today.

Lisa stepped up beside her. "Ma’am, may I suggest something?"

Evelyn paused mid-text.

"Sure. Go ahead. Though if it’s a suggestion about me getting lost again, please keep it gentle."

A tiny smile flickered across Lisa’s face.

"If you plan to have a lunch date with Miss Stella, I recommend going to the second floor. They recently opened a small plaza with plenty of restaurant choices. Much more comfortable for private conversations."

Evelyn blinked. "Wait. There’s a plaza there now?"

"Yes, ma’am. Let me lead you there."

"Good. Because based on how I’m walking, I might end up in the surgical ward instead."

Lisa pressed her lips together, probably fighting a laugh. "I would prevent that, ma’am."

They took the elevator up, and as soon as the doors opened, Evelyn’s eyes widened. The second floor looked nothing like the hospital she remembered.

The lighting was warmer, the layout more spacious, and a string of new shops lined the walkways.

"When did this happen?" Evelyn asked, surprised, as she now feels more like she’s in a mall than a hospital.

"They opened this section two years ago. Have you been here recently? Ah, sorry... I forgot, Boss Axel keeps you hidden and away from the public’s eyes." She grinned.

Evelyn almost tripped. "Lisa..."

Lisa cleared her throat and pretended she had not spoken at all.

"The Japanese restaurant is on the right, ma’am. I heard from Liam that you like Japanese restaurants..." she said and walked away without waiting for Evelyn.

Evelyn laughed, delighted as she followed her, "Well, Lisa... I like this new version of you. Very sassy. Please stay with me forever."

"I will do my best," Lisa said, though her ears turned slightly red.

The restaurant was beautiful, clean, and already smelled promising. Evelyn lit up instantly.

"This is it. I’m eating here. Stella can cry, confess, or complain in a peaceful, sushi-filled environment."

Lisa led her deeper inside until they discovered a VIP room tucked neatly beside the main dining hall.

Evelyn gasped. "A VIP room? In a hospital restaurant? This is perfect. Stella can panic privately without traumatizing innocent diners."

She stepped toward the door, but Lisa walked ahead, opened it, and scanned the room like a professional assassin checking for threats. Only after she nodded did Evelyn enter.

Evelyn stared at her with playful admiration. "Lisa, if I ever become queen, I’m promoting you to my royal knight."

"Thank you, ma’am," Lisa replied, completely serious.

"Oh, right, you can wait for me in the hall and order anything you like."

"Yes, ma’am..."
