Two hours later.

Lucas Knight returned to the hospital room, only to find it empty; Eva Nightingale had left. She... left?!

Without a word, she left?

He slightly furrowed his dark eyebrows, turned, and left the room, speaking as he headed towards the elevator, "Check the surveillance tapes to trace her movements."

He didn’t believe she would run away, because she wasn’t stupid. She should know his capabilities! Besides, she had been warned long ago not to anger him.

Afterward, she had been quite obedient.

So, Lucas Knight was unwilling to believe that Eva Nightingale would run!

*

This hospital was very large.

When Eva Nightingale left the hospital, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.

Just as she reached downstairs, someone called out to her, "Eva Nightingale!"

It was a man, and he had a rather pleasant voice. Eva turned her head symbolically, and the man was excruciatingly handsome, dressed in a red suit. He seemed very familiar with her, yet Eva was certain she didn’t know him.

"Who are you?"

"Me?" Benjamin Grant chuckled to himself, somewhat bitterly, "Eva, I know you hate me! But there’s no need to pretend not to know me, right?"

Benjamin Grant stepped forward and grabbed her: "Three years! It’s been three years—"

"How could I mistake you, how could I mistake you—"

Back then, they all said Eva Nightingale was dead, but Benjamin didn’t believe it. However, ever since he heard Isabelle Nightingale’s constant mention of her three years ago, Eva disappeared. It had been exactly three years.

"What are you doing?" Eva asked suspiciously, looking at him, "I really don’t know you, got it? If you’re wise, let go of me quickly, otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite."

"Eva..." Benjamin held her, only to feel a sudden pain in his hand, and upon looking down, he saw a bloody mark appearing immediately, blood streaming out!

He furrowed his brows in pain: "What are you doing—"

"Oh," Eva replied, "I told you, don’t touch me so casually. Also, my last name is Bennett; I don’t know you! Stop following me, otherwise, I’ll cripple your legs..."

Benjamin, clutching his bleeding hand, stepped in front to block her, "I’m your fiancé, and I’ve been looking for you for three years, okay?" Back then, Benjamin didn’t marry Isabelle Nightingale.

Over these three years, the Nightingale Family had undergone tremendous changes...

Benjamin, unwilling to give up, looked at the familiar woman before him and furrowed his brows: "I won’t mistake you..."

His old philandering ways showed up again: "Dear, come back to me, okay? I won’t argue with you about the injury now, it’s been three years... you should have had enough fun! Come back to me, I was wrong before, blinded to have an affair with Isabelle Nightingale."

"After all this time, I’ve seen her clearly, putting a cuckold’s hat on me time and again. I was truly blind back then, thinking she was the one." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"In the end, I realized, Eva, the person I truly love is you—"

"I was wrong, would you please come back to me? You don’t know what I’ve been through these three years—"

Benjamin poured his heart out, because seeing Eva now, he still felt that same initial feeling, so he desperately wanted to win her back.

"You are truly absurd." Eva completely ignored him, having no impression of this man, "Handsome, the story you’ve crafted is nice. But... I don’t want to hear it. You’ve got poison in your hands, go to the hospital yourself, otherwise if you die, don’t come haunting me as a vengeful ghost."

Benjamin: "..."

What did she say?

Could it be that his wound was poisoned!

No, this woman isn’t Eva; although she looks like her, her personality is completely different...
