Yet, in the recent situation, he had to maintain an appearance of normalcy.

Flora's words had effectively severed the connection between his mother and Aline, which suited Harrison perfectly.

He whispered, "Thank you, Miss Holt."

Flora was equally compassionate. Bending down, she whispered, “It was Rena's idea! She recognized your unease around Aline."

Hearing this, Harrison clenched his fists.

Flora smoothed his blanket and said softly, “In truth, she's concerned for you, but she's a married woman and can't be here all the time. You can understand her predicament, can't you? Take care of yourself. Don't disappoint her."

Harrison nodded in agreement.

Flora ruffled his hair playfully and teased, “If I were single, I'd rescue you from emotional turmoil."

With that, she turned and left, her departure carrying an alluring aura. Exiting the hospital, Flora headed to a café. Rena was already waiting for her.

Taking a sip of coffee, Flora stated.

“I've followed your plan. It worked just as you predicted. Nora is cutting ties with Aline."

Unable to drink coffee herself, Rena stirred it gently and smiled.

“Nora was eager to find someone to confide in about Harrison's accident. Aline's character doesn't really matter. But if Aline tries to seduce her son, as a mother, Nora won't stand for it."

Flora praised Rena for her meticulous strategy.

Rena mustered a forced smile.

Certain things couldn't be shared with Flora, forcing Rena to act covertly. It was highly likely that Aline was behind the harm of her and Harrison. Rena couldn't allow her to remain by his side.

Driven by the need to shield Harrison from Aline's machinations, Rena discreetly stationed several undercover bodyguards to watch over him in the hospital.

Employing Waylen's subordinates for this purpose, he was quickly informed.

Waylen called Rena to inquire. She detailed her hospital arrangement. She expected his jealousy, yet to her surprise, he merely smiled and said, “I'UL follow your lead!"

Whenever he acted casually, Rena couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

True to form, he returned from work as usual.

But after he tended to the children and wrapping up his affairs, his passion flared, and they became intimately involved.
