"…Hello."
"Is this Miss Lilian Summer?" a female voice asked.
"Yes."
"This is Velaridge City Police Headquarters."
Kendra's expression changed instantly.
"Do you need something, officer?" Lilian asked, her tone carefully composed.
"We have a case that requires your cooperation. Please come to the station immediately."
Lilian's grip on the phone tightened slightly. "I'm currently at the hospital."
There was a pause.
"Shall we send officers to the hospital then? This is an urgent matter."
Lilian's gaze darkened.
If the police came here… if the media found out…
That would be disastrous.
Her current condition—her act—would be exposed instantly.
"I'm fine enough to come," she said quickly. "I'll come to the station myself."
"Alright, ma'am."
The call ended.
Kendra turned to her immediately, panic rising. "What do you mean you'll go there yourself? What if they've already caught Lucas? What if they're planning to arrest us?"
Lilian's expression remained calm—too calm.
