Fortunately, the elevator doors slid to a close successfully.
Adam wasn’t able to catch up to us. But the other patients in the elevator were all staring at us as we hugged in the corner. One of the patients couldn’t even help but tease us.
“Wow! You must really love each other.”
“Did you hear them? Before they even entered the elevator just now, the lady supported her husband all the time. She really Loves him!”
Cheeks burning with embarrassment, I lowered my head.
Caleb, on the other hand, ignored them and stared me for a little while longer. Then, he held me tighter and whispered in my ear, “Thank you, my wife.”
Ny heart skipped a beat.
His wife?

When we finally made it to the exit, we found Carlos waiting for us in the car by the back door, ready to speed away at a moment’s notice.
Just as we were getting in the car, out of the corner of my eye, I saw that someone was waving at us to stop.
We immediately turned our back to him. Fortunately, we had reacted quickly; that person probably didn’t see our faces. Carlos wasted no time and slammed his foot on the gas.
“Weird. Why would Adam suddenly have his men search the hospital?”
Perplexed, Carlos pursed his lips
A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y
I thought for a while and mused, “Maybe Adam got to Janiya before us, and now he knows that Caleb was poisoned. But because Adam is a very cautious person, it’s possible he didn’t believe her. He probably wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.”
“It’s possible. But that crazy bitch is really good at hiding. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t pick up her trail. Adam must’ve searched for her with full force and turned the whole town upside down before he found her.”
“There’s no point in that now. Let’s think about how to deal with Adam first. He will come to us sooner or later,” I suggested.
“Okay.” Carlos nodded.
“Caleb, what are you going to do next?”
Caleb frowned and didn’t answer. Judging from his pale face, I figured he wasn’t feeling well.
I urged Carlos, “Drive faster. I think Caleb needs to rest.”
Carlos immediately sat up straight and stepped on the gas
When we arrived at the hotel, Carlos expertly parked the car. I didn’t wait for him. Instead, I helped Caleb to his hotel room, supporting his weight all the way to the bed.
After he was settled down, I tried to hand him the medicine Brian had prescribed.
“I don’t want to take it.” Caleb shook his head and held my hand tightly, acting Like a spoiled child.
