"Alright, my good daughter."
"Bang!" A loud noise ca from outside the ward, as if sothing had been kicked and broken.
"Rochelle, what was that sound?" Mrs. Thorne glanced outside.
But Rochelle Thorne blocked Mrs. Thorne’s line of sight. "Maybe it’s so frustrated patient venting, Mom. We don’t need to bother with it."
"Okay."
Rochelle Thorne picked up the breakfast that Finn Thorne had just brought and opened it in front of Mrs. Thorne. "Mom, co have so breakfast. I especially went back to the Thorne Family to make it. I didn’t see Finn Thorne all night yesterday. Who knows where he went to hang out this ti."
...
Outside the hospital, lody Thorne drove to the location specified by Nina King to attend a wrap party.
As soon as she got out of her car, a man got out of the car that had been following her for a long ti. His white suit and extraordinary appearance imdiately caught the attention of many bystanders, and he kept a consistent distance behind lody Thorne.
With his hands in his suit pockets, he carried a hint of arrogance and nonchalance.
Initially, lody Thorne could pretend not to see, but the noise from behind gradually grew louder.
"Look, look, isn’t that President Caleb? What’s he doing here?"
"Why do I feel like he’s been following that lady in front?"
"Oh my, is he chasing after a girl?"
The voices grew more nurous from behind, and lody Thorne clenched her hand, choosing not to head directly to the private room Nina King ntioned. Instead, she turned into the restroom.
As soon as she entered, a tall figure leaned against the restroom door.
Fortunately, there was no one else there, or there would definitely have been screams from him leaning against the ladies’ restroom door.
The restroom door opened, and lody Thorne pulled Caleb inside, her eyes filled with anger. "I told you, I’m not the one you’re looking for. Why are you still following ?"
Caleb glanced down at her hand gripping his shirt, his handso face expressionless. "I have a contract with the Seymour Family. Now that the target has been confird as you, I can only stay by your side. The terms are clear — at least twenty years."
"I choose to terminate the contract now; you’re seriously affecting my normal life." lody Thorne wished she could strangle the man in front of her.
What was she thinking when she got involved with him in the first place?
Caleb’s gaze rested on her solemnly. "I doubt you have the ability to terminate the contract. Do you even know where the contract is?"
"Where is it?"
"At the Seymour Family. Unless you go back and retrieve it, you’ll always have by your side."
"Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? If I go back with you now, it would be asking for trouble. Would I even co back alive?" lody glared angrily at the man in front of her.
"Maybe the Seymour Family needs you now. What’s so good about that Jared Quinn, anyway? You haven’t fallen for him again, have you?"
Caleb had already asked this countless tis. He dreaded the occurrence of such a thing.
"There won’t be a good outco between you two. Rather than ending in mutual harm, it’s better to leave now."
"I don’t know what you’re talking about." lody turned away. "Stop following ."
She headed towards the private room Nina King ntioned, and after a few seconds of silence, the man behind her followed once more.
Outside the private room, reporters who heard the news gathered outside, imdiately swarming lody Thorne as she appeared.
