Joseph had just rushed out of the ward when he saw that Andrew had unexpectedly arrived, too, inquiring about Ashley's unconscious state.
Oddly enough, the details of Ashley's condition hadn't been disclosed to the outside world, so how did Andrew find out?
Valentin's brows furrowed lightly, and his expression devoid of emotion as he stared at Andrew.
Of course, Valentin knew that Andrew had been discreetly keeping tabs on Ashley, so the moment she was admitted to the hospital, he got the news promptly.
"Speak, what happened to her?" Andrew asked again, boldly walking towards the ward.
He then looked through the glass window and saw Ashley lying quietly on the hospital bed, completely unconscious. A sinister expression crept over his face.
Glancing back at Valentin with a dark look, he demanded, "What's going on?"
Valentin's deep gaze briefly met his, and surprisingly, he didn't conceal anything and said. "It's Tyler."
Leaving behind these cold words, Valentin walked towards the elevator.
Andrew's brows furrowed, silently repeating Tyler's name. He then followed suit.
Joseph was momentarily stunned, thinking, 'What's going on? Andrew was Valentin's romantic rival. How could these two get along?'
Colby waited outside the hospital. Seeing Andrew coming out, he hurriedly approached. "Mr. Banks, how is Ashley?"
Just as Colby finished asking, he was astonished to see Andrew was actually coming out together with Valentin. Even more surprising was that Andrew showed no hostility towards his romantic rival.
He thought, 'What the... He was irritated by Valentin before entering the hospital.'
Watching this peaceful scene, Colby's mouth hung open in amazement, looking at Joseph behind them with a bewildered expression.
Joseph was just as bewildered, thinking, 'What are you looking at me for? I have no idea about anything!'
"Keep staring, and your eyes will be fed to the dogs," Andrew's grim voice echoed overhead.
Colby immediately averted his gaze, not daring to sneak another glance.

Ever since they exposed Tyler's true identity on the cruise ship and captured him, they temporarily detained him, planning to hand him over to the authorities after the family recognition banquet.
