Her hand trembled as she zoomed in .

Even though it was just a profile , she couldnt be mistaken .

It was Chloes father the driver whod supposedly died with her parents .

But he was alive ? A chill ran down her spine ; a vast conspiracy felt like it was closing in .

Her mind raced .

If Chloes father was alive , who was the driver who died ? Why had he faked his death and remained hidden ? There was a hidden truth .

Alice asked , Ms.

Alice , whats wrong ? Is there Is there something about this person ? Nothing .

Alice said , quickly composing herself .

What did he and Chloe discuss ? Just a few minutes , then they left hurriedly and cautiously .

If they hadnt been worried about being seen , we might have overheard their conversation .

Keep an eye on Chloe , but be discreet .

Investigate this man .

See what you can find .

After Alice left , Alice studied the photo again and again .

Why was the driver alive ? The car accident wasnt as simple as it seemed ; there was a hidden truth .

She couldnt remember the details of the accident ; if she could , she would know the truth .

Alice pulled the blanket over her head , shivering .

Alice rested , having little appetite for lunch .

Jack called .

Heard you didnt eat much .

Feeling down ? Alice hesitated .

Blake sent a video of Chloe apologizing .

He beat her up .

Its ironic ; the Windhams are inherently selfish .

While Chloe deserved it , the blame fell solely on her , making Blake appear innocent .

Jack , overlooking the city from his office , said patiently , Dont be fooled by their games .

I know .

Feeling cooped up ? Go for a walk in the garden .

Ill have a computer installed in your room ; Daniel can play games with you .

Alice quickly refused .

Ill be discharged soon .

A computer is unnecessary .

Jack didnt push it .

Hanging up , Alices mind raced .

Shed thought the accident was just bad luck .

But there was more to it .

Jack returned in the afternoon .

Seeing Alices relatively calm demeanor , he relaxed .

You sounded down on the phone .

Dont worry .

I wont be manipulated by the Windhams .

She tiptoed closer .

Did quickly because youre worried about me ? you come back Jack looked down at her , his throat tightening .

He gently touched her face .

Yes .

I never want to see you cry like that again .

He remembered her tearful live stream ; even though she was acting , it had distressed him .

Hed cut a meeting short to come back .

Alice leaned her head against his hand .

Have I ever cried that much before ? She didnt remember .

doing so .

1720 Jacks lips tightened .

Yes , after the accident .

When he rescued her , shed sobbed uncontrollably , even biting him when he wouldnt let her near the burning car .

But shed forgotten .

His palm felt warm as his gaze locked on her face .

As he leaned in , Alice straightened , clearing her throat .

You probably havent eaten either .

Im hungry .

I am hungry , he admitted , taking her hand , his gaze meaningful .

Alice looked down at their intertwined fingers .

What are we now ? Jack tucked a stray hair behind her ear .

After youre discharged , Ill take you somewhere .

Where ? A surprise .

To make things official .

Alices eyes flickered .

Official ? A relationship ? While things had changed between them , they hadnt discussed their relationship status .

Jack was thoughtful .

They ate dinner ; Alice didnt tell him about Chloes father .

It was just speculation .

The next day , Alice delivered the update .

Ms.

Alice , we lost them.

We found no information on him ; its like he doesnt exist .
