So, heâs following me? Carolineâs lips curled slightly. Interesting. I never expected him to be here tonight, but that just makes things more entertaining.
âIf Nashâs intel is accurate and Andrew is really sneaking off to meet Elizabeth, then David will witness everything firsthand. No explanations neededâthe truth will speak for itself.â
A satisfied smile curled on her lips.
She casually rolled up the window, pretending she hadnât noticed anything.
Everything was falling into place.
If Andrew was inside Elizabethâs hospital room, then tonight would be very rewarding.
And if no one was there? Well, she could always say she was just paying a visit.
On the nearly deserted road, Carolineâs taxi moved steadily ahead, with Davidâs Maybach trailing at a consistent distance.
Inside his car, David drove unhurriedly, his fingers idly tapping against the steering wheel. Why is she heading to the hospital this late? Could she actually be going to see Elizabeth?
The thought seemed unlikely, yet the moment Carolineâs taxi stopped at the hospital entrance, Davidâs suspicions deepened.
Through his windshield, he saw her step out and walk straight toward the inpatient building.
Without hesitation, he parked and followed.
Inside the hospital room.
âYouâre here again?â Elizabeth frowned, checking the time. âItâs barely past ten. Youâre coming earlier and earlier. If we get caught, weâre done for.â
Andrew smirked. âWhat can I say? I couldnât stay away. I missed you.â
âIâm not going anywhere,â she said flatly.
Andrew chuckled, rubbing his hands together. âI just sleep better after checking in on our baby.â
Elizabeth sighed, her irritation evident. âYou really shouldnât keep coming here. If Mr. Ellison shows up unexpectedly, I have no idea how youâre going to talk your way out of it.â
Andrew smirked, unfazed. âIf he was going to show up, heâd have done it by now. Trust me, heâs not coming tonight. That means I can spend more time with you.â
Elizabeth clenched her jaw, an uncomfortable feeling settling in her chest.

âDonât worry, sweetheart,â Andrew murmured as he slid onto the bed, his hand trailing over her stomach. âHe might not care, but I do. This baby is ours. Heâs just the unfortunate fool stuck with the title and the humiliation.â
Elizabeth let out a halfâhearted chuckle, clearly uninterested, and remained silent.
As Andrew traced his hand over her stomach, his touch gradually became more restless.
âNot now,â Elizabeth warned. âThe first three months are criticalâI canât take any risks.â Her voice dropped to a whisper. âBesides, my mother is staying here tonight. Stay as long as you want, but donât even think about spending the night.â
Andrew scowled. âWhy is she here?â
âTo take care of me, obviously.â
He sighed, annoyed. âAm I not enough?â
The two continued their hushed conversation, blissfully unaware of the impending threat.
Caroline was well aware of how cunning the Brooks family could beâshe wasnât about to take any risks.
Instead of heading straight to Elizabethâs room, she got off the elevator a floor below and took the stairs. Slipping quietly through a side entrance, she arrived at the hospital room undetected.
The door was tightly shut.
Pressing her ear against the surface, she listened carefully.
Inside, Elizabethâs voice was light, playful⦠flirtatious.
