Noticing her apprehension, Matthew reached out and pulled her into aforting embrace.


    “Hey, don’t stress about what hasn’t even happened yet.


    Just go with the flow.


    ”


    Ste nodded, realizing that worrying wouldn’t change anything.


    Plus, she wasn’t entirely convinced that Be was her real mom.


    Seeing Ste’s tension ease, Matthew continued, “We’ll have plenty of time to partner with Be on the clothing project.


    We could even snag a strand of her hair for a DNA test.


    ”


    Ste agreed, feeling a sense of urgency to take action.


    With a n forming in her mind, she felt a glimmer of hope.


    Suddenly, a bodyguard hurried over, delivering the news.


    “Mr.


    rk, Fernando has regained consciousness.


    ”


    Emerging from Matthew’s ward, Be prepared to escort Elizabeth for a check-up.


    Elizabeth was only feigning illness, so she was reluctant to have any check-up.


    She halted mid-step to assert, “I’m feeling considerably better now.


    The difort has subsided significantly; there’s no necessity for an examination.


    ”


    Nevertheless, Be persisted, reasoning, “Given your recent difort, it’s prudent to seek medical insight into the cause of your stomachache.


    ”


    “I truly feel fine,” Elizabeth insisted resignedly.


    Yet Be remained steadfast, ultimatelypelling Elizabeth to undergo the examination.


    The results indicated her wellness.

    A bit flustered, Elizabeth confessed, “It was merely a fleeting stomachache, causing momentary difort and perspiration.


    I recovered swiftly.

    Despite her exnation, Be remained unconvinced.


    Elizabeth’s eyes sparkled with a hint of panic.


    She grasped Be’s hand gently, teasing, “Isn’t it fortunate that I’m in good health? Would you prefer otherwise?”


    Before Be could interject, Elizabeth took the lead in the conversation.


    She feigned mncholy, murmuring, “Or do you doubt my sincerity regarding my well-being? Is that how you perceive me?”


    Be didn’t directly address the inquiry, opting instead for a hushed inquiry.


    “Why did you insist on apanying me to the hospital today?”


    At the sound of Be’s query, Elizabeth abandoned her pretense of sorrow.


    Had Be prated her strategic facade?


    Observing Be intently for a moment, Elizabeth felt reassured as it appeared Be was merely harboring suspicions.


    She replied, “I was merely concerned for your well-being, especially considering your recent headaches.


    I felt uneasy about you venturing out alone.


    As for my remarks in the ward, they stemmed from remorse toward Ste for a past misdeed, prompting me to seek redemption.


    ”


    After expressing her dismay, she reiterated, “I already have a boyfriend.


    How could I persist in foolishness? I didn’t anticipate their harsh words.


    ”


    Be was swayed by her genuine sentiments and refrained from pursuing the subject further.
