Chapter 66

“Alright,” Rebecca answered compliantly, amusement twinkling in her eyes. “Thank you, Jane.”

Jane maintained her usual composure. “Stay focused.”

Rebecca nodded earnestly. “I will.”

Throughout the morning, Rebecca refined her artwork while finishing the remaining sections. Immersed in work,

she wasn’t disturbed by Lisa's usual gossip.

When noon approached, Rebecca headed straight to the hospital without lunch.

The hospital was just half an hour away by subway from PrimePlay Technologies. During weekdays, she spent

lunch breaks comforting her comatose mother, praying for her recovery.

She'd pre-ordered takeout to arrive at the hospital-perfect timing for a meal after visiting hours.

Seeing how busy she was yet still making tto visit the hospital every noon, Timothy felt a complex mix of

emotions he couldn't quite describe.

After finishing lunch, he cto the ward and said, “Lethandle the hospital matters. You don’t need to come

here every day.”

“But you said chatting with her more could help her regain consciousness,” Rebecca replied with hopeful

determination. “I've got free tduring lunch anyway. This works perfectly.”

“Even without conversation or visits, she'd wake within two months,” Timothy explained gently.

Rebecca gazed at Amelia, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed. She wanted to stay, to accompany

Amelia through the endless darkness of a coma that must make Amelia feel unbearably lonely.

“There's something I've considered telling you,” Timothy said after prolonged contemplation.

Rebecca paused her meal. “What is it?”

“Today, a man visited your mother besides you,” Timothy said, referring to the svisitor he'd previously

mentioned to Jeffrey. “He stayed in the ward for about half an hour.”

Rebecca froze mid-bite, immediately assuming her father Richard had caused trouble. She pulled up his photo

on her phone, anxiety tightening her features. “Was it him?”

“No,” Timothy answered truthfully. “The visitor was far more handsthan the man in your photo, impeccably

dressed, clearly from wealth or high society.”

Rebecca racked her brains but couldn't place anyone matching that description. “What did he do in the ward?”

she pressed urgently.

“He didn’t do anything but just sat in the caretaker chair,” Timothy said. “He ignored scalls and kept staring

at your mother.”

“Maybe he’s a friend of Mom's,” Rebecca guessed.

Since childhood, she'd never met any relatives of Amelia-no grandparents, aunts, or uncles. The only close

friend of Amelia's was May Summers.

But May eventually left to travel after waiting two fruitless years for Amelia to wake up, asking Rebecca to notify

her if there was any change.

Rebecca thought, ‘Mom always claimed to be orphaned, but Dad’s recent comments hinted at something

more.’

“Did you talk to him?” Rebecca asked.

“No. | learned about it afterward.” Timothy glanced at the still-unconscious Amelia. “A nurse said he called

himself an old acquaintance.”

Rebecca pressed her lips, suddenly remembering something. “Do you have his photos?”

Timothy hadn't described the man secondhand like she expected, so she figured he must have visual evidence.

“We have surveillance cameras.” Timothy tapped his phone. “I've sent the photo to you. Take a look.”

Rebecca zoomed in on the screen, revealing a man in a perfectly tailored suit sitting stiffly on the visitor's chair,

his sharp jawline barely visible from the angle.

Her usually expressionless eyes widened slightly with surprise. “You recognize him?” Timothy noted her reaction.

Rebecca shook her head. “Never met him.”

Her surprise stemmed from his uncanny resemblance to the man Jessica had photographed earlier, and Jessica

had jokingly said Rebecca shared his facial features.

Timothy's eyebrows lifted curiously at her reaction, but he kept his questions to himself, respecting patient

confidentiality.

“Dr. Johnson?” Rebecca suddenly sounded intrigued, like she'd discovered buried treasure. “If he comes again,

could you alertimmediately?”

“Consider it done,” Timothy replied without hesitation.

After thanking him, Rebecca waited until Timothy left the ward before relaxing her posture.

She alternated between reviewing the surveillance footage and Jessica's photo, finding no connections. Turning

to her comatose mother, she murmured to her, unconcerned about responses.

“Mom, your old friend cto visit today.

“I don’t know who that is. I've never met him, but he looks a bit like me. Could he be my uncle?

Chapter 66

“Don’t they say girls resemble their uncles?”

Rebecca kept chatting with Amelia until twenty minutes before work, then tidied up and left.

On the subway back to the company, she had an idea. She didn’t know much about Amelia's past, but May had

been friends with Amelia since childhood. If the man really was her uncle, May would know.

Rebecca decided to call May that

Rebecca relaxed her grip on the phone. “Thank you.”

Lucas replied calmly, “No need for thanks. However, Emily wants to compete with her classmates and needs

extra lessons. Can you cfor the whole Saturday?”

“A full day of dance might overwhelm her,” Rebecca advised gently.

Lucas pressed, “What about weekends?”

“Weekends are for Samuel,” Rebecca replied.

Lucas said, “You can bring Samuel over.”

Rebecca remained silent. She couldn’t confirm the arrangement yet.

“Take your tthinking about it. You can giveyour answer this weekend,” Lucas continued, sensing her

hesitation. “There’s no rush.”

Rebecca agreed. As the call ended, she was nearly at her office.

Looking at his disconnected phone, Lucas told the person beside him, “I informed her.”

Stephen nodded. “Mhm.”

Settling on the couch, Lucas remarked, “If you hadn't warned me, I'd have fallen for his trick.”
