Grant glanced at the petite figure ahead just as Ryan spoke again.

“If Julian weren’t so protective of Luna right now and worried Autumn might stir up trouble, I wouldn’t even bother speaking politely to her.”

“We all can’t stand the way she acts, but we still have to pretend to respect her. It’s exhausting.”

“I really don’t get what Julian’s thinking. He’s all over Luna but still won’t get a divorce. We’ve been covering for him, and it’s wearing us out.”

“Let’s go.”

Grant didn’t offer an opinion. “It’s his mess, he’ll deal with it. Not our problem, so don’t waste your energy.”

With that, Grant stepped into the elevator first.

Ryan quickly followed.

After leaving the hospital, Autumn drank half a cup of warm water in the car.

Only then did the pain start to ease.

She rested with her head on the steering wheel for a while, then drove home.

Just six days left–freedom was getting closer.

Back home, Zoe noticed her pale face and quickly approached. “Ma’am, you don’t look well. Are you sick?”

Autumn shook her head. “I’m fine. It’s an old issue. I just took some painkillers. Zoe, my stomach’s acting up again. Could you make me some oatmeal for lunch?”

“Of course.”

Zoe nodded, her voice full of concern as she looked at Autumn’s pained expression.

“Ma’am, your stomach’s been hurting way too often. Maybe you should get it checked at the hospital. It could be something else.”

Her stomach pains had been getting more frequent lately.

At first, Zoe hadn’t thought much of it and assumed Autumn just had a poor appetite.

But seeing her in this much pain now, she realized it couldn’t be something minor.

It might be more serious.

Autumn forced a slight smile.

“I already got it checked. It’s just a common stomach condition. Nothing serious. I’ll be fine if I watch my diet.”

Even Zoe could tell something was wrong just by looking at her during an attack.

Yet Julian claimed she was faking it.

That said a lot about how little he really saw her as his wife.

Zoe still wanted to say more, but Autumn had already gone upstairs.

Watching her fading, frail figure, she hesitated for a moment.

Then, she picked up the phone and called Julian.

It still took a long time before the call was answered, and his voice was full of impatience. “What is it?”

Zoe glanced at the figure that had disappeared at the top of the stairs. “Sir, Mrs. Carter is sick. She doesn’t look well at all. Do you have time to come home and take her to the hospital?”

Earlier, Ryan had mentioned seeing Autumn pretending to be sick downstairs.

And now Zoe was calling to say she was unwell.
