Seraphina immediately tried chasing Joanna away.
Ace, who was silent the entire time, furrowed his brows as he spoke frostily. "You got injured the same day I did?"
"Uhm…" Joanna froze, her expression stiff.
'Sh*t, I misspoke.'
"How did you get hurt?" The man continued questioning.
"I… I tripped and fell by accident." Joanna came up with a simple excuse and rushed out of the room.
She actually didn't intend for him to notice her. She wanted to do as promised. She acted like she was mute and only took care of him quietly. She only wanted to see him recover fully and leave with no regrets.
However, she knew that it would now be difficult for her to hide away, especially with her previous mess up…
"She left?" Ace seemed rather disappointed.
"What? Did you not want to leave? And you just said you love me so much you wanted to marry me right away!" Seraphina huffed out of jealousy, feeling quite anxious.
