“They’re celebrating too soon.” Lucas still looked composed, as though everything remained firmly in his control.

“It worked!”

Lucas was in the middle of a high-level board meeting when Conor’s call came through.

“Lucas! Sloane’s experiment was a success!” Conor’s voice boomed with excitement. “That girl’s incredible -the new drug she developed just shattered international records!”

Inside the conference room, every executive watched as their usually unshakable Mr. Hawthorne shot to his feet, scattering documents across the floor without a second glance.

“Where is she now?” His voice carried an urgency he couldn’t disguise.

“She just stepped out of the lab-” Conor’s words cut off as the line went dead.

Half an hour later, Lucas’ Maybach screeched to a stop at the gates of the military research institute. But the guard standing tall at the entrance reported solemnly, “Mr. Hawthorne, Dr. Rivers left half an hour ago.”

At that, Lucas let out a low, sudden laugh. So, she’s avoiding me.

His long fingers brushed across the corner of his lips, as if still feeling the faint warmth of hers. He suddenly remembered that fleeting moment when she had run, the soft strands of her hair sweeping across his cheek, leaving behind the delicate scent of gardenia. Sloane, do you really think you can escape me?

“Sloane? What are you doing here?” Jill looked at her in surprise.

Sloane smiled. “Didn’t you say I was welcome anytime? So I thought I’d stay at your place for a few days.”

The moment she heard that, Jill’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Sloane’s hand and tugged her inside. “Perfect! I’ll have the kitchen make all your favorite dishes!”

As she ordered the staff to prepare a guest room, she excitedly phoned her family, “Grandpa! Sloane’s here visiting us!”

Within ten minutes, the Besnard residence was buzzing with life. Brian came out himself, leaning on a cane to greet her. “Ah, Sloane, you finally camel That prescription you gave me last time-it’s worked wonders for my old joints,”

Jill’s aunt arrived carrying a tray/of freshly made pastries. “Dr. Rivers, try these osmanthus cakes I just learned to make. I heard they’re your favorite…”

In the middle of the cheerful chatter, the butler hurried in. “Sir, Mr. Hawthorne has arrived. He says… he’s here to pay his respects.”

The dining room fell silent at once; all eyes turned toward Sloane.
