When Elena arrived, Fiona was already sitting outside in the hallway, holding Alexander’s suit jacket. The dark fabric was stained with blood, stark and alarming.

Elena walked up to her. “How is he?”

Fiona looked up, her eyes red and glistening with tears. “He hit his head. They’re still checking for anything else… This is all my fault. I got distracted while driving. If he hadn’t tried to protect me, he wouldn’t have been hurt.”

She deliberately emphasized the last

part.

Elena couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to.

Her gaze swept over Fiona calmly.

Not a single visible injury. Her hair was still in place, her makeup barely disturbed: The only sign of distress was her reddened eyes.

Elena had spent enough time around Camille to recognize this kind of calculated vulnerability immediately.

If Fiona wanted to perform, Elena wasn’t going to sit back and play along.

Elena said coolly, “You’re right, it is your fault. As his secretary and the one driving, you should have been focused. How long have you even had your license?”

Fiona froze, clearly caught off guard. Her lips parted, but no words came out.

At that moment, the ER doors opened. The doctor stepped out first.

Fiona rushed forward before Elena could even move. “Doctor, is he okay?”

Elena followed, but didn’t interrupt.

“He’s stable,” the doctor said. “Aside from the head injury, there are no other visible wounds. We want to keep him for a few days for observation in case of a concussion.”

“Thank you,” Fiona said, her voice trembling with relief.

She turned and quickly moved toward the hospital bed being wheeled out.

“Alexander,” Fiona said, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her face, “thank God you’re.

Her expression was fragile and tearful, making her look especially vulnerable.

Alexander’s gaze shifted briefly past her and landed on Elena, who stood slightly off to the side. unmoving.

Seeing that she didn’t step forward, he turned back to Fiona and said softly, “I’m fine. Don’t cry.”

“…Okay.”

Elena stood there, watching.

Why does this feel like I walked into the wrong scene?

Am I the extra here?

For a moment, she even felt a little ridiculous for rushing all the way over.

If she had known, she might as well have stayed home and gone to sleep.

Still, she followed them into the hospital room.

Alexander was already changed into a hospital gown, resting against the pillows, his head wrapped in bandages. Without his usual sharp, commanding presence, he looked unexpectedly vulnerable.

His eyes settled on Elena. His lips pressed into a thin line.

Why isn’t she reacting at all?

As his wife, shouldn’t she at least come over and ask how he was?

Elena’s perspective, that expression looked more like annoyance, as if her presence rupted something between him and Fiona.

Alexander was visibly taken aback. He didn’t even have time to respond.
