Samuel was shocked. His expression turned serious. "Understood. I'll look into it immediately."

Fiora looked him in the eye, her gaze conveying a warning. "Don't tell my brother."

Samuel lowered his gaze. "Understood."

"Go. Investigate it and let me know the results as soon as possible," she instructed.

Concerned, Samuel said, "But I can't leave you alone. Let me call—"

"No, I'm fine. If I need help, I'll hire a caregiver myself," Fiora interrupted him.

"Alright," he replied.

He left the ward.

Despite Fiora's repeated warning, Samuel called Jason as soon as he left the hospital.

Jason was lounging on a couch, dressed in a loose white shirt that revealed his slender neck, defined collarbones, and muscular chest. His sleeves were rolled up, showcasing his sturdy forearms.

Iris was next to him, focused intently on applying medicine to the wound on his palm.

Is something bothering you?" Iris asked, handing him the pills. "Put everything aside for now and take your medicine first."Jason tilted his head back and smiled at her. "Feed me."Iris was taken aback by his playful tone. Could he be possessed?But considering that his injury was a result of saving her, she took a pill and brought it to his mouth.Jason opened his mouth, accepting the pill."Water," sh

    The door swung open to reveal Iris and Jason.

    Yvonne rubbed her numb arms vigorously.Iris laughed, "You haven't changed at all; you always get sleepy during law lessons."Yvonne scratched her head, "Right? Maybe I was switched at birth. Everyone in my family has a career in law, and I'm the only odd one out."She was an only child, so it seemed like her family's illustrious history in the legal field was destined to end with her.Professor Sandler, not joining them, instructed Yvonne, "You should head home." His tone implied, "Don't be a third wheel."Yvonne looked at him with a pitiful expression. "Grandpa, are you really not going to help me?""Go talk to your parents yourself," he replied, waving her off.Iris asked, "What's the matter?"Yvonne sighed, "They want me to go on a blind date."Iris fell silent.

    "Corn cheese," Iris replied, handing Jason a plate. "Put the peeled corn kernels in here."Jason grunted in agreement.While washing vegetables, the tap water splashed onto Iris.Jason set the corn down, grabbed the apron hanging by the refrigerator, approached her from behind, and gently threaded his hand around her waist to tie it.Iris leaned back slightly in cooperation. "Thank you."Jason paused for a moment, then adjusted the hem of her shirt. "Don't be so polite."Iris couldn't help it; she was used to it.The kitchen was filled with the soothing sound of running water as she washed and cut baby pumpkins and sweet potatoes. She then cleaned the corn kernels and placed them in a steamer with two slices of cheese.She then deftly chopped up the vegetables.Jason stood nearby, observing her movements as she expertly handled the ingredients and the pan.

    Jason stared at her intently and answered, "Okay.""See you tomorrow then," Iris said, turning to leave.She walked out of the parking lot towards her apartment building, then took the elevator to her floor. Upon stepping out, she immediately saw Yvonne waiting at her door.Confused, Iris asked, "Weren't you supposed to be at home persuading your parents to make another baby? What are you doing here?"Yvonne sighed dramatically. "Just open the door."Iris complied, opening the door."Are you and Jason dating?" Yvonne got straight to the point.Iris paused, holding the door. "Why do you ask that?"Slumping onto the couch, Yvonne replied, "People in love have a distinct stink."Iris chose silence, not denying it."Help me out," Yvonne continued, "I couldn't convince my parents. They're forcing me to go on a blind date tomorrow, but I have an important client to meet. Help me sabotage this blind date."Iris refused outright, "Deal with it yourself."Yvonne rested her chin on h

    After a short stunned silence, the man smiled."Interesting."Iris' reply caught him off guard."As expected of a law student. You know the law so well. Even if you're not practicing, you remember the law very clearly," he remarked.Iris cut to the chase, "You're not my type."The man was taken aback again, not expecting such frankness from her."I actually have a pretty good impression of you," he said, maintaining a calm and gentle demeanor, seemingly not offended by her bluntness."Is that so? But I'm afraid I'm not interested in you, and I strongly reject the idea of blind dates. If it weren't for family pressure, I wouldn't be here. I assume you're here to please your family too, so let's not waste time," she replied firmly."It's true that I'm here because of family pressure as well, but after meeting you, I'm glad I agreed to this blind date," he said.Iris was speechless.What the hell did he mean by that?He continued, "Since you're already here, why don't we have a

    "I have a feeling Wendy won't let you go that easily," Lester speculated.Iris, spotting the two, opted to avoid interaction and headed straight for her car. However, Stanley already noticed her. He stopped walking.Lester, who was looking down, continued unaware, "You said she slammed her head into a pillar in front of you? I think she did that on purpose to make you feel bad for her."Stanley, I really think you should keep your distance from someone like her. Remember how she framed Iris? She clearly wanted to take Iris' place. She was cunning enough to trick all of us with her scheme. Compared to her, the girl from the Just family is much lovelier. Despite her temper, she's as gentle as a lamb in front of you. If I had to choose, I'd say the Just girl is the better option."Lester rambled on, but Stanley didn't catch a word."Stanley..."

    Stanley frowned, "Don't act like a spoiled brat with me. I never made any plans with you. If you claim I did, show me the evidence.""The text you sent me – does that not count as evidence? I'm not blind; I can read. I lost my phone while I was running away, so I don't have the proof with me." She reached out, "Let me see your phone."Stanley was certain he hadn't sent her any messages to meet up, so he pulled out his phone and handed it to Fiora.As she scrolled through their chat history, Fiora's frustration grew. She didn't find the message where he supposedly asked her out."You deleted it!?" Fiora exclaimed, smashing the phone against him in anger. "I won't let this matter rest!"The phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, the screen cracking upon impact.Stanley glared at her fiercely. His wrath was so fearsome that Fiora couldn't meet his gaze.Picking up the phone, Stanley shoved it back into his pocket. His eyes were cold and intimidating like the winter win
