"How did this happen?" Lily asked, her voice laced with concern.
“It was just a small accident. I’m fine now,” Emily replied calmly, though the slight tension in her voice betrayed her discomfort.
Lily pulled a chair closer and sat down with a relieved sigh. “When Nicholas called, I was so worried. Was he with you when it happened?”
“No,” Emily answered, shaking her head. “But Matteo brought me to the hospital.”
“Matteo?” Lily's brows furrowed in confusion. “How did he end up there?”
“I don’t know either,” Emily admitted, her tone thoughtful. “When I woke up, he was here with me.” She paused, then fixed Lily with a questioning gaze. “Lily, let me ask you something—how much do you know about Matteo or his family?”
Lily blinked, surprised by the sudden shift in Emily's tone. “Not much, to be honest. I only know he’s a businessman with some high-profile connections. Why?”
Emily’s eyes narrowed slightly, her suspicions deepening.
