He let out a slow breath. “Alright. Got it.”
Mrs. Rivera and Mr. Rivera exchanged a look. Mrs. Rivera stepped forward, giving Emily Blair a look from head to toe, her brows pulled tight. “Ms. Blair, if you don’t mind me asking, what exactly is your relationship with Tristan?”
Right then, Emily really wanted to drag Tristan out of that hospital bed herself.
She kept her tone calm. “No matter what I say, I doubt you’ll believe me. Why don’t you wait until Tristan wakes up and ask him?”
Mrs. Rivera’s frown deepened, but Emily pretended not to notice.
Steven Davis cleared his throat and turned toward the room. “Let’s go see him.”
Mrs. Rivera agreed, but as she started in, she shot Emily another hesitant look.
“Wait,” Emily called.
Steven stopped. “Is there something else?”
Emily looked up at him. “Did you find out who drugged him?”
Steven nodded, his voice steady and serious. “It was Hilaria Vargas. The security footage caught her putting something in Tristan’s drink. She also set up your room, 1304. After Cynthia realized something was wrong with Tristan, Hilaria took advantage of him being confused and led him away. Good thing you found him when you did, otherwise it really would have been too late. We’ve already handed over the evidence and Hilaria to the police. I’ll make sure someone keeps an eye on the follow-up.”
So it really was Hilaria. Emily nodded. “Alright. Thanks.”
Steven finished explaining and turned to Mr. and Mrs. Rivera. “Let’s head in.”
Emily followed them into the room.
