Steven shook off Queenieâs hand. His cold smile held none of the sympathy he once felt for her fake tears and forced innocence.
âI used to help you,â he said, his voice as frigid as his expression, âbecause I thought you were kind. Even when you played your little tricks, I saw no harm in them and let it go. But tell me, Queenie, what have you actually done?â
âAre you absolutely sure it was you who saved me back then?â
Queenie felt her mind explode.
She thought, âHas he discovered something?â
âImpossible. All the evidence has been destroyed long ago.â
Her eyes darted nervously toward her father. She forced herself to smile. âSteven, of course, it was me. My father was there too, remember?â
Steven glanced at Jeff, his smirk laced with an ominous edge. âMr. Marsh, the fire that year was manâmade, and so was my car accident; how coincidental that you two were on the scene.â
âIn fact,â he continued, âIâve recently tracked down the owner of that lodge. Iâll be paying them a visit to find out the truth.â
Jeff and Queenieâs eyes widened in alarm.
Jeffâs face contorted, caught somewhere between indignation

He thought, âWhy is Steven suddenly revisiting those incidents?â
âSteven,â Jeff stammered, âwe would never harm you. My biggest wish has always been for you and Queenie to end up together.â

âHave you forgotten? When you were in the most pain, it was Queenie who accompanied you, it was Queenie who risked her life to save you.â
âSo, those years, I gave her all my goodness, but how did you treat me?â Without waiting for an answer, he left the room, his chilling words lingering in the air.
Queenie watched him walk away, her nails digging into her palms.
âSee what I mean?â Jeff said coldly. âI warned you not to humiliate yourself, but you just wouldnât listen.â
Queenie clenched her fists. Sheâd ruined everything.
If she had known it would turn out this way, she would never have schemed against Paula.
If Paula hadnât been her pawn against Diana, she could have stayed the cherished princess of her family and of Steven.
But now, Steven had changed. He didnât love her anymore.
It was the truth, yet she couldnât accept it.
Jeffâs icy tone cut into her spiraling thoughts. âWhat a joke. You

Queenie froze, stunned by his harshness. âDad, Iâm your daughter! How can you say that to me?â
âDaughter?â Jeff sneered. âWould a daughter scheme against her own father?â
He turned and walked away without looking back.

Queenieâs eyes burned red as she stood there alone. For a long time, she didnât move. She felt that everyone had betrayed her.
Her father, her mother, her brother, and the man she once wanted to marry all betrayed her.
Finally, she whispered to herself, âFine. Youâve all betrayed me. If thatâs how it is, none of you deserve to be happy.â
She believed that if she couldnât be happy, then no one could.
Queenie thought, âSteven could dream of repairing his relationship with Diana. I will make sure it never happens.â
âI will make sure he canât get Diana back.â
âDiana may seem perfect, willing to sacrifice her life for Steven.â
âA woman like that will make any manâs life complete.â
âBut if I couldnât have happiness, why should they?â
âOne by one, I will eliminate everyone standing in my way.â
Steven caught up to Diana and her group.

She had just finished settling Luna and Evan in a different room for their IV drips when she noticed him following her.
Her expression turned cold.
âMr. Gellar, why are you here again? Shouldnât you be with Queenie? What are you doing here? Leave. Youâre not welcome.â
Her tone was calm, void of emotion, yet firm.
Queenieâs schemes seemed endless. No matter where they went, she always found a way to interfere.
Diana thought about the close call that nearly cost Luna and the others their lives. She wouldnât give Queenie another chance to hurt the people she cared about.
Queenie deserved someone like Zion to deal with them.
Steven stayed silent, his gaze steady on Diana. Then he entered the room and sat down, looking at Evan.
Diana sighed, feeling exasperated.
Evan, seeing Stevenâs persistence, couldnât decide whether to feel pity or disgust.
Thinking of Queenieâs dangerous nature, Evan hesitated before finally speaking. âMr. Gellar, Iâm fine here. You should go back and rest.â
Steven gave him a frosty glance. âStay quiet.â
His low voice carried a faint note of frustration.

Evan fell silent, unsure how to respond.
Diana walked in, instructing the nurse to set up the IVs.
Then she sat to the side, scrolling through her phone, completely ignoring Steven.
But his eyes never left her.
She checked the trending topics online. News about Queenie had disappeared, but her heroic rescue was still on the rise.
The comments were overwhelmingly positive.
[A beautiful and kind doctor. Am I the only one who finds her stunning?]
[Sheâs gorgeous. Everyone can see that!]
[A doctor delivering a baby on the street is amazing! Everyone, letâs boost this story!]
[Sheâs a lifesaver and a beauty. We need more people to know. about her!]
Reading the comments, Diana couldnât help but smile.
She hadnât expected to save Sam and his family. Now, she had plenty of opportunities to collaborate with him in the future.
Luna noticed her smile. âWhatâs so funny, Diana? Share it with us. Being stuck here is boring.â

Diana looked at her and grinned. âJust reading people online calling me beautiful and kind.â
Luna rolled her eyes, feigning exasperation.

âDiana, why donât you use this newfound fame to promote the hospital?â
Diana shook her head. âNo need. The hospital is for saving lives, not marketing. We donât rely on hype but on skill. Every doctor here is highly skilled.â
Luna thought about it and nodded. Dianaâs hospital, with Tom as its cornerstone, had always been popular.
Tomâs surgeries were booked six months in advance.
Listening to their conversation, Steven realized something. He learned that Dianaâs connection to this hospital ran deep.
She was a skilled doctor capable of performing advanced surgeries. And Tom, the renowned surgeon, was clearly an old acquaintance of hers. He finally understood just how little he. knew about his own wife.
He wondered, âShe is remarkable, but when others mocked her as a âcountry girl,â why hasnât she spoken up?â
âWhy did you hide your abilities?â he asked.
Diana turned to him, her smile faint. âI never hide anything. You just never cared to look. Your eyes were always elsewhere.â
âIn your world, I was just a country girl, someone you

looked down on. Even if I told you I was a doctor, would you have believed me? Would you?â
