Hailey and Declan silently walked down the corridor, until Hailey finally broke the silence with a question. "Declan, who was that woman just now? What did she bring you to the hotel room for?"
Declan quickly pulled his arm away from her touch. "I don't owe you any answers."
Undeterred, Hailey reached up and placed her hand on his forehead. "Declan, you're burning up! Are you sick?"
Her soft, delicate hand brushed against him, and the sweet scent of her closeness made Declan's eyes flare. He quickly pulled her hand away, his voice cutting as he snapped, "Don't touch me!"
The sharpness of his words made it clear he was repulsed, and Hailey's eyes glistened with hurt.
As a pampered, sheltered young woman, she had never encountered such coldness before.
A mix of confusion and pain washed over her as she looked up at him, wondering if he really disliked her that much.
She hadn't done anything wrong.
For a moment, the sadness in her eyes seemed to affect Declan, but he didn't speak. Instead, he turned and walked away.
Like a shadow, Hailey followed, unable to let go of the distance between them.
They stepped into the elevator one after the other. Their silence was heavy, and neither of them said a word.
Suddenly, the elevator jerked twice before it began to plummet rapidly. Hailey let out a sharp scream, her body thrown forward by the sudden drop.
But before she could crash into the elevator's walls, a hand shot out, grabbing her arm and pulling her into a searing embrace.
Declan steadied her, holding her securely against him. "It's just a malfunction, don't worry."
As Hailey's fear began to subside while in his protective grip, a warm sensation spread through her chest.
Moments ago, she thought he didn't care for her, but now she realized—he wasn't as indifferent as she'd believed. He was looking out for her.
She glanced up at him. "Declan, what's happening? You're burning up. Are you sick? Should we go to the hospital?"

We getting somewhere with revelations...
Pls upload more chapters coz it’s not enough to be honest. But I’m thankful for the 4 chapters. Thanks! And author please let Celine have her justice and let those people who wronged her be punished. Pls, I am so invested in this and it’s so exhausting to read about Celine’s being bullied and hurt over and over again. Let Celine shine pls!!!🙏...
I knew it! Lucy poisoned them. But, It’s about time that the truth will prevail. Hope Adam would listen. I just hope that Carly and Lucy won't get a chance to interfere and stop Adam from finding out the truth! It’s time that Celine will get her justice and get back everything that’s belong to her especially her Identity. Whether Adam believes Celine, it’s up to him. But he’s a moron lol. I hate him from being so blind!...
I dont understand, why lucy hates celine so much? She is her daughter, biological daughter... Why she scemed against celine, as if she is her mortal enemy.....
Hopefully the truth comes out soon....
