Anna's eyes immediately turned distant when Hugo's name flashed across her screen.
It had only been a few days since he suffered a heart attack. And more than a week since she had cut ties with them, refusing to bow to what they called love.
Now he was calling her again.
Why?
"What does he want now?" she wondered, staring at the screen as it continued to ring.
She did not answer.
The phone rang until it eventually fell silent.
Letting out a slow breath, Anna switched her phone to silent mode and placed it aside. She turned toward her work, determined not to let the call disturb her resolve.
But no matter how hard she tried to focus, her thoughts refused to cooperate.
They drifted back to the note she had found in Collin's hospital ward.
She still had no idea how someone managed to deliver it to him without being noticed. Hospital security was not careless. Nurses were always present. Yet somehow, someone had gotten close enough.
Whoever did it was skilled.
Careful.
