But Finnian remained entirely unmoved. “There is no future for us. You need to stop holding onto that idea.”

He was absolutely certain he would never get back together with Liliana. However, her new injury undeniably reignited his guilt. He would find another way to compensate her.

He stood up. “Get some rest. I’m leaving.”

With that, he walked out of the hospital room.

“Liliana, how did it go with Finnian? Is there still hope for you two?”

Seeing Finnian leave, Jenny hurried back into the room, her voice laced with

anxious urgency.

Liliana frowned. “Why are you panicking? Keep your voice down. He might still be in the hallway.”

Jenny immediately clamped her mouth shut, but her eager eyes remained glued to her daughter, waiting for an answer.

Liliana sighed. “He looks guilty, which means he still remembers what I did for him. But he didn’t show any sign of wanting to get back together. It makes sense—he’s still fixated on Amara, and she’s carrying his child.”

“Oh God, what are we going to do?”

Jenny was a simple woman from the countryside who lacked a spine. Her entire life consisted of listening to her husband, and now, her daughter. Faced with a crisis, she panicked easily, entirely clueless about how to navigate it.

“Don’t panic,” Liliana ordered firmly. “We don’t need to rush this. As long as I can keep stirring up his sympathy, we have a chance. By the way, did you handle that thing I asked you to do?”

“Yes, it’s done,” Jenny replied quickly. “The guy said he’ll have the article written in half an hour. Once he pushes it online, it should hit the trending lists by tonight.”

Liliana nodded. “Good. I want to be alone for a bit. Go outside.”

After leaving Liliana’s room, Finnian felt a heavy weight pressing on his chest.

His heart belonged entirely to Amara now. She was the only woman he wanted. He had also finally recognized Liliana’s true nature—her endless lies proved she was fundamentally flawed.

For all these reasons, getting back together with Liliana was out of the question.

Yet, the undeniable reality of what she had sacrificed for him still gnawed at his conscience.

Returning to the Everly Group HQ to

finish his work, he found it

impossible to focus. Later that evening, while he was eating dinner in his office, Will Zade brought in a

stack of documents and casually mentioned M MS

Ty heard

Porter got injured today. Did you visit

her at the hospital?”

Finnian looked up sharply. “How did you know?”

He hadn’t told anyone about his visit. Why would Will bring it up? Unless…

Sure enough, Will replied, “Ms.

Porter’s accident with the stunt harness is trending online. Someone spotted you visiting her at the hospital and now that’s trending”. too. The whole internet is talking about it.”

Finnian’s heart sank. He immediately pulled out his phone.

The top two trending topics on Twitter were entirely about Liliana. The first was

‘#Liliana & Finnian’, and the second was ‘#Liliana Stunt Harness Fall’.

Celebrities naturally drew massive public attention, and a major accident involving a stunt harness was no small matter. It was completely normal for an A-list actress like Liliana to dominate the trending charts after such a terrifying fall.

But how did his hospital visit end up trending too? Had someone been watching

him?
