Chapter 560
Aria suddenly laughed coldly. “Mr. Cole, I can handle things myself and call the police if needed. And if it comes to that, I have Owen. I don’t need you meddling.”
“Didn’t Owen say it himself? He’s just your lover,” Liam deliberately slowed his breathing. “A lover can never be a husband. When you eventually settle down and get married, you’ll have to leave him.”
The elevator doors slid open.
Aria stepped into the elevator. “He’s my boyfriend now. Mr. Cole, keep your distance. My man is the jealous type.”
Upon hearing the words “my man”, wave of resentment surged through Liam’s chest.
“Dr. Cole!” a nurse called out urgently as she rushed over. “The patient in Bed 3 has unstable blood pressure-the chief physician needs you there, stat!”
Liam took a deep breath and gave Aria a long, searching look. “The Shaw family’s affairs are just as complicated as the Cole family’s,” he said gravely. “I hope you know what you’re getting into.”
With that, he turned and walked away.
The nurse didn’t immediately follow. Instead, she paused and gave Aria a pointed look. “Ms. Saxon,” the nurse said, “I know you’re Dr. Cole’s ex-wife.”
Lifting her chin, she added, “Now that you’re divorced, stop clinging to him.”
Aria looked at her impassively. “Get lost.”
The nurse’s face darkened, about to retort when the elevator doors snapped shut.
The nurse snorted coldly and stalked off toward Liam’s office.
Aria had just stepped out of the hospital when a man in a black suit blocked her path-the same one who’d been tailing her earlier.
“Ms. Saxon,” the bodyguard bowed slightly. “Our boss requests your presence.”
Aria looked up and saw a pitch-black limousine parked at the hospital entrance, its windows so dark they only reflected her own silhouette.
Yet she could distinctly sense a pair of eyes watching her from behind those impenetrable windows.
Without a flicker of emotion, Aria strode straight ahead.
The man in black behind her froze for a moment, clearly caught off guard by how unhesitating she was.
The car door slid open soundlessly as she approached.
A young man sat on the leather seat.
He was clearly of mixed heritage, with striking, chiseled features and mesmerizing eyes. In the dim light, his golden hair shimmered faintly, giving him an androgynous beauty that blurred gender lines.
A faint smile played at his lips, but the glint of amusement behind his glasses never touched his eyes. “Ms. Saxon, I trust you’ve been well.”
Aria averted her gaze and stepped into the car, her expression unreadable.

The car door slid shut silently behind her.
The man chuckled softly, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest. “Ms. Saxon, no wonder Kerano Global Health values you so highly. You’ve got guts.”
She knew exactly who he was, yet she still got in his car without hesitation.
Aria ignored his pleasantries and fixed him with a cold stare. “Was it you who kidnapped Tristan Todd and forced him to work on that experiment?” she demanded.
Flynt Hartley seemed to ignore her accusation entirely. Leaning in slightly, his gaze locked onto her face like an inescapable net, watching her with an eerie intensity.
