Chapter 409
409:
The driver followed close behind, worry etched across his face. If it weren’t for fear of angering Dylan, he would’ve gladly carried Christina himself.
Once reaching the ward and seeing Dylan show no visible signs of strain, the driver finally relaxed and left quietly.
Now the room held only Dylan and Christina. She lay sleeping peacefully on the bed, her expression calm and at ease.
A faint smile tugged at Dylan’s lips as he gently adjusted her blanket. He pulled a chair closer, his gaze locked on her face, drinking in every detail like it was something he could never grow tired of.
The next morning arrived.
At the Jones residence, Moss stirred awake to find two women lying beside him—Liza and Yvonne.
He sat up abruptly, scanning the room in a daze, but the woman he’d been hoping to see was nowhere in sight. As the haze cleared and he took in the scene before him—all three of them bare—he felt a wave of disbelief and fury.
He had slept with the wrong women. Again. And this time, Liza too? A cold suspicion crept into his thoughts. Had the Jones family set him up on purpose?
Enraged, Moss lashed out, slapping both women awake.
Liza and Yvonne were still fast asleep when a sudden, stinging slap jolted them awake. Blinking in confusion, they sat up—only to find Moss towering over them, his hulking frame trembling with fury. They exchanged a stunned glance before a blood-curdling scream tore from their throats.
Moss, rattled by their shrieks, hesitated for a split second, uncertain whose mouth to cover first. “Shut up!” he roared, his voice echoing through the room like thunder.
Startled into silence, Liza and Yvonne instantly quieted.
Yvonne’s voice shook as tears welled in her eyes. “What… What happened? How did this even…”

She couldn’t finish. Tears streamed down her face as her thoughts spiraled. Everything had been planned out last night, hadn’t it? Christina was supposed to be the one sent to Moss’s bed. How had things gone so horribly wrong? How had she and her mother ended up here instead?
Yvonne’s tears flowed freely. Back at the hotel, things had already taken an inexplicable turn when she was swapped in. And now—again? Christina had escaped once more? Once might’ve been an accident, but twice? Impossible. No doubt about it—Christina was deliberately sabotaging them.
Yvonne’s fists curled tightly. Christina must’ve been the one behind it all. Even at the hotel, when she fainted, there had to be more to it. But how? Back at the hotel incident, only she had been there, so it was plausible that Christina could pull something off then. But this time, there had been three people watching Christina. How had Christina slipped away again?
“Wasn’t Christina supposed to be the one lying here? How did it end up being us?” Liza’s voice cracked with panic. She looked down at herself, mortified. “If my husband finds out, he’ll kill me!”
“I should be asking you that!” Moss snapped, his eyes blazing with fury. “Is your entire Jones family trying to set me up? What kind of stunt are you pulling?”
