Victoria said, “I don’t need to be with him. Abby, let’s avoid discussing these sad topics any longer. I’ll be busy for a bit, but I’ll call you when I have some free time. It’s been ages since we’ve had a proper conversation.”
The little boy who once clung to her, crying for her to hold him, had grown up.
After the call, Abby found herself lost in thought. “Victoria’s family business is in trouble. Is the Chouinard family unwilling to help?”
From Victoria’s remarks, it was evident that her family’s situation was dire—so much so that bankruptcy seemed like a real possibility.
The Du Group also operated on an international scale, but Victoria had been tight-lipped about the specifics. Abby wanted to assist her but felt unsure how to proceed.
If Spencer was avoiding a relationship with Victoria due to her family’s business troubles, Abby would lose all respect for him.
Could the kind, gentle, and noble brother she remembered truly be that type of person?
No, Abby didn’t believe Spencer was like that.
Perhaps it was the Chouinard family elders who were being excessively pragmatic. Given that Victoria’s family was on the brink of decline, they might have concluded she was no longer a suitable match for Spencer.
But no—Victoria had mentioned that Spencer never confessed his feelings to her, not even once. This indicated that Victoria had been harboring feelings for Spencer all along, waiting for him to take the initiative, but he never did.
What a tangled situation.
Abby couldn’t make sense of it all.
All she could do was wait for Spencer to return and find a moment to speak with him directly, to ask him about his true feelings.
“Abby…”
Evan’s hoarse voice came from the room. It wasn’t loud—he could barely manage to speak—but it was clearer than it had been.

The medications appeared to be effective. Abby’s keen hearing, sharpened by her martial arts training, immediately detected his voice. She got up and walked into the room. Upon seeing that Evan was awake, she approached him and gently placed her hand on his forehead.

“It’s not as hot anymore,” she observed. “The fever seems to be breaking. Would you like some water?”

Evan nodded slightly. His throat was still sore, so he preferred to avoid speaking whenever possible. Abby poured him a cup of warm water and moved to assist him in sitting up, but Evan managed it on his own, making things easier for both of them.

While he sipped the water, Abby called for the nurse to bring a fresh bottle of medicine.

“Is there more?” Abby inquired.

The nurse replied, “Just one more bottle.”

Evan let out a silent sigh. Since being admitted to the hospital, he had already received two or three IV bottles, and now there was still one left. How many more did he need? It was beginning to feel as though he had a serious illness.

“Take his temperature,” the nurse instructed before leaving.

Abby hummed in acknowledgment. After the nurse departed, she picked up a thermometer and checked Evan’s temperature.

Once he finished his water, Evan leaned back against the headboard and looked at her intently.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Abby asked, sounding slightly annoyed. “My sister’s the one treating you, yet it feels like I’m the one being punished.”

She sighed. “I gave you that spicy food to teach you a lesson, and now you’re here in the hospital while I’m stuck taking care of you. It’s as if I’m being punished too.”

Evan wanted to inquire about the phone conversation she had just engaged in. He had overheard her mention Spencer several times, but his throat hurt too much to ask. Saturday was just two days away. He needed to recover quickly so he could…

He could be discharged and then head to the airport with Abby to pick up Spencer. Where was this so-called rival? Evan was determined to meet Spencer; he needed to see for himself how much of a threat this man truly was.
