Not long after she came into the ward, Be woke up.


    She scanned the room, her confusion evident.


    “What’s wrong with me?”


    Elizabeth held back her irritation and exined, “Someone hit our car from behind earlier.


    I brought you to the hospital because you weren’t feeling well.


    The doctor says you’re okay, just a bit shaken up.


    How are you feeling now? Still dizzy?”


    She carefully avoided mentioning the name Be had uttered in the car, opting to describe the situation in broad strokes instead.


    Be seemed deep in thought and remained silent.


    “If you’re feeling better, we could head back to the hotel,”


    Elizabeth suggested.


    Be gave a nod of agreement.


    They left the hospital and made their way to the hotel.


    Elizabeth apanied Be to her room and helped her settle into bed.


    “Rest up for now.


    Let me know if you need anything,” she said, preparing to leave the room.


    However, as she turned to go, Be stopped her.


    “Do you know who Kori Thompson is?”


    Elizabeth was startled and clenched her fists involuntarily, but quickly regained herposure.


    “I don’t know.


    Is that someone you know? I’ve never heard that name before.


    The doctor mentioned you might say odd things because you’re stressed.


    Try to rest now.


    Don’t worry about it too much.


    ”


    “Really?” Be frowned.


    When she uttered that name, a fleeting, inexplicable emotion passed through her, leaving her puzzled.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Perhaps she was overthinking things.


    At least she couldn’t recall anyone named Kori.


    Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep.


    After Be had fallen asleep, Elizabeth got a call from Andrew.


    She quietly closed the door before answering.


    “Is Be okay?” Andrew’s voice sounded through the phone.


    “She’s out of the hospital now.


    The doctor says she’s doing well,”


    Elizabeth responded sinctly.


    She didn’t really have much to say to Andrew.


    His main concern was Be, so once he heard she was alright, he ended the call.


    Elizabeth then took the elevator to the ground floor, nning to grab a coffee at the hotel’s coffee shop and ponder her next move.


    As she entered the coffee shop, a group walked into the hotel.


    The person leading them was Emil.


    He was chatting with hispanions when he nced up and spotted someone he thought was Ste.


    “Go on up without me,” he told his group.


    “I’ve spotted someone I know.


    I’ll catch up after saying hello.


    ”


    Once he finished speaking, he turned and made his way to the coffee shop.


    But upon reaching it, he realized he had confused the wrong person.
