At Turner Group, Bowen had just finished going through a document when he noticed Hugo's nflashing on
his phone, a bit surprised by the unexpected call
“Bowen, did | do something wrong?” Hugo sounded lost and frustrated after his falling out with Birgitte.
He knew he still cared about Grace, but in his heart, she was just like a little sister to him. He never thought he'd
made Birgitte suffer because of her.
Hugo couldn't figure it out. He'd gotten to the bottom of things and tried to make things right for Birgitte. He
thought it was the right thing to do Since he was helpless, he thought Bowen was the only person he could think
of to turn to.
Bowen listened quietly, then let out a soft laugh. “You did the right thing, but did it help?”
‘Did it help?‘ Hugo was stunned. He couldn't figure out how those two things even belonged in the same
sentence.
“Letput it another way, Bowen said. “Does it matter if Grace lives or dies? The person you love and want to
be with is Birgitte, not Grace.”
It hit Hugo like a ton of bricks. All at once, Hugo realized the root of the conflict between him and Birgitte.

It wasn’t about so-called fairness. What Birgitte wanted was for him to take a firm stand by her side when it
mattered, and he had never shown that kind of resolve.
“Bowen, | get it now.” Hugo nodded.
“So, how's it going?” Birgitte asked.
“Hard to say,” Aubree replied, taking the water Birgitte handed her. “He’s mentally ill, and he won't be held
criminally responsible. At most, they'll send him to a psychiatric hospital.”
They stood outside the hospital room, murmuring.
“I know Grace orchestrated this mess,” Birgitte said, her eyes flashing with
anger.
“So what if he’s mentally ill?” Birgitte said through gritted teeth. “Even if they send him to a psych ward, we still
have ways to deal with him!”
Patrick was just a regular employee. However, he risked his life to save Birgitte. She was grateful, and that was
why she couldn't let him take the fall for nothing.
“If it weren't for him, we'd both be screwed,” Aubree admitted, still shaken. “No matter how capable | am, |
couldn’t have handled that situation alone.
“If we want to bring Grace to justice, we need solid evidence that shows she was behind all this!” Birgitte said.
“There's no rushing this,” Aubree replied. “You've been at the hospital all day looking after Patrick. I've already
arranged for a care worker to take over, so go hand get srest. This whole thing is going to blow up
online, and there'll be plenty of trouble to deal with later. Don’t let yourself get exhausted.” Aubree patted
Birgitte on the shoulder.
“I know,” Birgitte said. “I'll stay a bit longer to make sure the care worker is thorough enough. After that, I'll
leave.”
Aubree didn’t insist, just told her not to wear herself out.

About an hour later, the show's shooting finally wrapped. When Grace stepped out, she spotted Hugo leaning

Hugo had just finished smoking a cigarette, his voice hoarse “Yeah, | guess so. Are you done for the day?”
