    The police frowned. They were merely responding to a reported incident and had not even begun the


    interrogation. Hence, they did not understand why Albert was so agitated. His reaction made him look


    even more suspicious.


    “We’ll conduct an investigation to find out whether you are involved in this case. Now,e with us to


    the station,” said one of the officers.


    And so, Albert was escorted away by the authorities in a state of bewilderment.

    At the hospital, Ste watched intently, as the doctor carefully treated Xenia’s wounds. The sutures on


    her neck were prominent.


    “Cost is not an issue, doctor. Please make sure that there won’t be any noticeable scars on her,” Ste


    told the doctor in a hushed tone.


    “Don’t worry. Since the wound isn’t too deep, it shouldn’t leave any scars,” the doctor reassured her.


    “Even if it does, it’s no big deal. It’s not like I need to be on camera or something,” Xeniamented.


    “No one wants a scar on their neck,” Ste countered.


    Xenia offered a wry smile.


    Once the doctor had left, Ste voiced her concern.


    gullible and driven by greed. What if she didn’t believe you and had taken you to Albert? Have you


    considered the consequences?”


    Xenia replied in a soft tone, “I was betting on her greed.


    Plus, I’ve set a scheduled text. Gina would have definitely reported me missing to the police if she


    wasn’t able to contact me. Worst-case scenario, I’d be tortured for a while. If it helps to get them locked


    up, it’s worth the risk.”


    Ste thought otherwise. “You didn’t need be in such situations because of her.


    However, Xenia was grateful. ’Maybe to you, the help you provided me was just a small gesture. The


    reality is that it pulled us out of the chaos. I’m determined to repay this favor no matter what.”


    Ste froze upon hearing that. ‘I didn’t know people can be this different. Some are grateful and eager


    to repay the favor when shown kindness. Meanwhile, others are driven by greed and malice. They are


    never satisfied with what you give them.’


    Realizing that, Ste felt enlightened. ‘I guess it’s never wrong to be kind. There’s no need to question


    the act of doing good just because of a few bad apples.’


    “You shouldy low and rest up for now. No one will find you here. Once everything is settled, I’ll make


    arrangements for whether you want to continue your studies or start fresh in another city.”


    “Thank you,” Xenia expressed her gratitude.


    After chatting for a while longer, Ste urged Xenia to get some rest and left the room.


    Keegan was standing in the corridor waiting for her. The sunlight shone through the window, casting a


    golden glow on his profile. He looked incredibly handsome.


    Hearing the door close, Keegan turned his head and saw Ste. His cold expression instantly melted,


    as he smiled and asked, “Shall we go see the doctor?”


    Ste gathered her thoughts and walked briskly toward him. She wrapped her arms around his waist


    and tiptoed to give him a peck on his chin. “I have an idea,” she said in a low voice.


    Keegan was flustered by her sudden boldness. He instinctively held her closer and asked, “What is it?”
