    Soon afterward, Angelina found out that Ste’s surgery was sessful, and she rushed over to visit


    her.


    She then arrived with Henry Moore following closely behind her.


    Angelina seemed to pay little attention to him. She just sat down in front of Ste and sighed. “I’ve been


    so worried about you! I was relieved to find out that you were safe, but it turned out that you’d gone blind!


    I’m so d everything turned out well in the end. Oh… when will Elias and Emma be back?”


    She had been babysitting the kids for a while and had grown quite attached to them.


    “They won’t be back for a while still,” Ste replied, smiling. “Once my eyes have healedpletely, I’ll


    bring them home as soon as I can. In the meantime, though, I’m sure the Garcia family is taking very


    good care of them, so don’t worry.”


    “That’s good to know,” said Angelina. She was just about to say something else when she noticed that


    Henry was listlessly toying with her hair.


    “Stay away from me!” she snapped, swatting his hand away from her.


    “How long are you going to stay mad at me?” asked Henry as he looked at her helplessly. “You know well


    enough that I’ve cut all contact with Guinevere Cohen!”


    Ste froze a little when she heard the name, hit by a sudden realization of just how far she’de since


    everything that had happened to her in the past.


    Angelina quickly covered Henry’s mouth and red at him. How could he not know how inappropriate it


    is to mention that name? Has he forgotten what happened between Guinevere and Ste? Unbelievable!


    Henry took her hand and pulled it down, then gave her a meaningful look. “Don’t worry. Ste is not as


    fragile as you might think.”


    He then nced at Ste and added, “Am I right?”


    The corners of Ste’s mouth twitched. Ignoring his obvious jibe, she merely said, “It looks like you get


    along with Guinevere really well. You seem to know everything about her. It seems that even the slightest


    thing about her can’t escape you.”


    “Can you not ruin everything for me?” snapped Henry,


    his face darkening as soon as he heard her. “Do you know


    how hard it was for me to coax this stubborn woman?”


    Angelinapletely lost her patience when she heard this and didn’t want him there for a second longer.


    She looked downtrodden as if genuinely losing her temper


    now.


    “If you don’t leave now, then I’ll leave myself! I just can’t


    let you stay here and be an eyesore to Ste!” she yelled.


    Sensing that she was serious from her tone, Henry slowly


    stood up. “Fine.”


    He then snatched her handbag and told her, “I’ll be waiting for you outside.”


    “Why are you taking my handbag?” she asked as she shot up to her feet.


    “I don’t want you sneaking out without me behind my back, leaving me alone out there waiting for you


    like an idiot. So I’m taking your stuff as coteral so you won’t


    bail on me.”


    “You-”


    Angelina was speechless, but she had no other choice but to just watch him as he walked out of the


    room.


    Ste sighed as she observed her friend being visibly upset before she asked her, “What is going on


    between you and Henry Moore exactly?”


    “Nothing,” Angelina replied. “He seems to be pursuing me, though.”


    She then casually added, “I’m wondering if there’s something seriously wrong with him. He used to


    despise me in the past, but as soon as he found out that I have a child, he changedpletely and


    started to follow me around everywhere, trying to woo me…”


    She found his behavior very strange indeed, and itpletely changed her impression of him. He


    couldn’t


    possibly want her because he liked the fact that she had a child, could he?


    Or perhaps he had a secret medical condition that made it


    impossible for him to have his own children, so now that


    he found out Angelina was a single mother with a child, could he be nning to seduce her so her child


    would be


    his?


    But none of that made sense to Angelina.


    Ste felt conflicted. After a while, she reminded her

    friend, “Do you remember the woman named Faye that I


    told you about?”


    Angelina paused, then said, “Yeah.”


    “They say you look exactly like her… I’m just worried that Henry Moore might use you as a substitute…”


    Angelina’s expression changed drastically, but she smiled and tapped her fingers on the table. “Actually, I


    have considered this, but didn’t they also say that the woman is already dead?”
