Sunny was shocked to hear Maxwell wanted to go to the summer villa. He frowned and asked, "Dad, are you planning to visit Mom?" Maxwell nodded. "I need to ask her a few things."
"Do you have to ask her in person, Dad? Your current health isn't suitable for a long and tiring journey..." said Sunny resignedly.
"Take me there right away! If I don't get some answers, I won't be able to sleep even when I get home, so turn the car around!"
Sunny wanted to persuade Maxwell but ultimately decided against the idea. He signaled the driver to take them to the family's summer villa instead.
Phoebe had been living in the summer villa all these years, claiming it was her choice. In truth, however, she was sent to live there by Cedric, Beatrice, and Maxwell due to her wrongdoings. Sunny, who had been abroad for these years, had not visited Phoebe at all.
When he was in the hospital corridor and overheard Maxwell and Emily's conversation, Sunny started having suspicions. Clearly, Maxwell shared his suspicions, believing that Phoebe was responsible for the misunderstandings of the past.
Melinda brought the doctor to the ward for Emily's check-up. The doctor
mentioned that Emily's irregular heart rate was likely due to emotional stress and reassured her that there was no significant issue. He advised her to rest well and avoid overthinking.
After the doctor left, Melinda expressed her concern to Emily. "See, Emily? The doctor says you're thinking too much. You can't keep going like this. Otherwise, your mental well-being will suffer, even if you recover from your injuries!"
Emily managed a weak, yet apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Melinda. I've made you worry again. You spent the night taking care of me, ordering supper, and even handling uninvited guests..."
Melinda sat down, took out her phone, and snapped a picture of Emily. "Look at yourself now. You look worse when you're smiling than when you're crying."
'Melinda's right. I look horrible,' Emily mused as she observed her wry expression on Melinda's phone.
Melinda placed her hand on Emily's back. "Emily, I know seeing Maxwell must've been tough on you, but he's gone now. I told him everything he needed to hear, and he most likely won't bother you again." Emily paused for a moment before asking, "What did you tell him?"
"I told him that he's caused enough harm to you and Corinne. I told him that if he had any conscience left, he shouldn't disturb you again. But..."
Emily waited silently for Melinda to continue speaking while gazing at her with bright, shiny eyes.
"Maxwell didn't seem to know that you were hunted back then. When I accused him of it, he asked me what I was talking about with a blank look on his face. Then again, I think he might be pretending." Emily's disappointment in Maxwell deepened.

"Alright, Emily. At least we can be
sure Maxwell won't bother you for the time being: Lie down and rest for a while. Stop overthinking things," advised Melinda. Visit
