A flicker of agitation crossed Stanley's face when he saw Arvin acting so tenderly to Angela. Was this really Arvin? How could it be possible? He was always indifferent and cold! The man was never loving and tender, not since Rosa...

Angela's emotions were subdued when she fell under Arvin's spell. She walked to Stanley with tears in her eyes. "Can you stay here to take care of Nancy?"

Nancy liked Stanley. It would make her overjoyed if she could wake up to see him.

It wasn't until Xenia brought him breakfast that Stanley took a break and stood up to bathe in the washroom.

Xenia put the breakfast on the table, and tended to Nancy's vitals. She remained unconscious. She had heard that Nancy and Angela got hurt last night. Rumours had trickled through the VVIP Department. She did not believe them until she saw her now.

But the question remained, where was Angela? She wasn't anywhere to be found!

She busied herself to changing the intravenous drip for Nancy. When Stanley came out of the washroom, his eyes were red and tired-looking.
