“Reba, you’re overthinking. You don’t have to stay with me. Aren’t you busy preparing for your
comeback?” Ondo’s. expression was indifferent.
“Is aeback more important than you? You’ve be like this because of me. I must stay by your
side to take care of you, replied Reba.
Reba only had her eyes on Ondo. Whenever she thought about how he got into an ident
while looking for her, she was happy yet fearful. She was happy because he cared about her, but
fearful if something really happened to him.
However, Ondo seemed unhappy somehow.
Reba asked sofily, “Landy, Cassandra hasn’te here. Is she angry? If so, I can apologize. I’m
afraid that if she doesn’te and this reaches your grandpa, he might me you for embarrassing
Cassandra because of me. I don’t want you to get scolded. I can take the initiative to exin to
Cassandra.”
“No need. Grandpa won’t know about my injury. I’m a bit tired now. You should go back too. It’s
inappropriate for you to stay in the hospital every day” Ondo’s voice was low. His face disyed no
distinct expression.
Before Reba could respond, the door of the ward was open. They instinctively turned to look toward
the entrance only to see the silhouette of a man.

Lloyd was carrying fruits. He looked at the two in the ward with a profound implication in his gaze. “Mr.
Quinn, you’ve got yourself injured just to save a damsel in distress. It’ll be such a remarkable story if
the news gets out.”
“Reba’s also here. It’s been a while. How have you been?” Lloyd greeted.
“Lloyd, long time no see. I’m doing well. Reba quickly stood up and greeted Lloyd. She looked
toward Ondo, who was on the hospital bed. “Landy was injured because of me. Lloyd, don’t tease
him about it.”
Lloyd just smiled faintly without saying anything. He looked at Ondo as his gaze grew more intense.
Since Lloyd had arrived, Reba didn’t stay longer and left the ward, giving the space to them.
However, she didn’t leave in a hurry but stood at the ward’s entranc
Lloyd’s questioning voice sounded from inside. “Ondo, with you injured like this, why haven’t I seen
Cassandraing to take care of you? Did you only inform Reba but not Cassandra? Or is
Cassandra angry and refusing to take care of you after knowing that you’re injured because of
Reba?
Frowning, Ondo stared at Lloyd indifferently with a hint of displeasure in his
eyes.
Lloyd naturally pretended he didn’t see anything
He asked again, “Ondo, what are you thinking? Since divorce isn’t an option for now, shouldn’t you
cut ties with Reba? Are you reluctant to let go of Reba but also unable to move on from
Cassandra? One shouldn’t be too greedy, right?”
“Lloyd, if you’re free, I don’t mind finding something for you to do,” Ondo replied.
Ondo wore a cold expression. His handsome and noble face revealed a strong sense of threat and
warning.
“Ondo, I was just speaking the truth. Do you have to react like this?” said Lloyd
“Are you done? If yes, just leave,” said Ondo.
Lloyd grinned. “Do you want me to invite Cassandra here for you?”
Mon, 29 A
Chapter 51
Do I need you to invite her for me?” Ondo’s eyes were cold, and he seemed impatient.
Lloyd continued, “Of course, you don’t need me to invite her. I’m just being a busybody and wish to
help you. You smell like disinfectant. I guess you haven’t taken a shower? Don’t you feel
ufortable? Tsk, I’m afraid your reputation will be ruined if this reaches the public. I’ll just take the
trouble and invite Cassandra here.”
Ondo fell silent. It was unclear whether he agreed or refused.
Lloyd lowered his gaze and whispered, “Or you wish Reba could help you to wash up? If that’s the
case, just say it. I’ll help you, hmm?”
“Get lost.” Ondo gave Lloyd a cold re.
Lloyd smiled and put down the fruit basket. His yful expression turned serious as he asked in a low
voice, “Ondo, was this truly an ident?”
Only they could understand the meaning behind these words.
Ondo narrowed his eyes, his tone calm. “Whether it was an ident or not doesn’t matter anymore.
The rain was too heavy that night, and no traces could be found.”
Besides, some matters can’t be made public at the moment, Ondo thought.
Since Ondo said that, Lloyd didn’t continue the conversation. Just then, a voice came from outside.
“Ms. Spencer, why are you here?”
It was Taylor’s voice.
Although there was a wall between them, the sound could still be heard clearly. Ondo and Lloyd
exchanged a nce.
Reba turned to look at Taylor who walking toward her. Her expression was slightly nonchnt as
she replied softly, “I want to ask Landy if he wants something to eat. I’ll go prepare it.”
Taylor nodded without suspicion. He then knocked on the door and went in.
After Taylor entered the ward and greeted Lloyd, he said, “Mr. Quinn, Ms. Spencer asked if you’d like
something to eat?”
Reba stood behind Taylor as they entered. Subconsciously, she tried to catch Ondo’s gaze. Not
noticing anything unusual, she said, “Landy, please eat something. I’ll go back and have the chef at
home make some oatmeal for you, okay?”
Ondo’s expression remained indifferent. “Okay”
Lloyd immediately said, “I’ll send Reba back,
n a while since west met. We can catch up while I’m at it.”
Ondo remained silent, and Reba couldn’t refuse. So, it had been decided this way.
After leaving the hospital, Lloyd drove Reba back to Dustmeadow Mansion.
Smiling, Reba said gently. “Lloyd, thank you for sending me back.”
“Don’t mention it. We’re old friends. Lloyd grinned.
He then asked, “Are you currently staying at Dustmeadow Mansion?”
“Yes, Landy thought it wasn’t safe for me to stay alone, so he let me stay at Dustmeadow Mansion for
now,” Reba answered in a low voice.
“Ondo treats you well,” said Lloyd.

“Yes, he’s always been good to me,” replied Reba.
Lloyd only nced at her without saying anything. There was a faint trace of a smile in his deep eyes.
The two didn’t catch up as mentioned. They simply exchanged a few words to avoid awkwardness.
Soon, they arrived at Dustmeadow Mansion.”
Reba politely asked, “Lloyd, do you want toe in for a cup of coffee?”
“Sure, thank you then,” replied Lloyd.
Lloyd’s immediate response caught Reba off guard. However, she warmly weed him into the
house, offered him slippers, ushered him into the living room, and had a housekeeper bring coffee.
This scene made her seem like thedy of the house to Lloyd.
Graham personally came to take care of things, and he knew Lloyd. Lloyd took the initiative and asked
Graham, “Why haven’t I seen Cassandra?”
“Cassie went out. She probably went to thepany Graham answered.
Lloyd added, “Graham, give Cassandra a call and ask her toe back. It’s quite inappropriate for
Reba and me to stay, especially when Cassandra’s thedy of the house.”
Graham nodded immediately. “Okay, I’ll make the call right away. Lloyd, please have a seat for a
moment.”
Thank you, Graham,” Llyod replied.
Lloyd gave a slight smile and turned to look at Reba, whose face froze slightly. “Reba, you don’t
mind, right?”
