The cold night breeze did little to cool his restless body . It wasn't until the second half of the night that he finally returned to bed . But he couldn't sleep . The sheets still carried Lily's faint scent . He was actually losing sleep over her . Of course , it wasn't because he missed her as a person . It was just that he was a young man in his prime - and he wanted her body , that's all . But every time he thought about how Lily had changed lately , it made him irritable and angry . How could she ? How dare she push him like this ? The next day at Cloud Corp. Jared showed up early . Timothy arrived to report the day's schedule , walking on eggshells and barely daring to breathe . He was afraid Jared might be holding a grudge over yesterday . But Jared didn't need to be angry for that grudge to count . " Did she say anything when she left yesterday ? " Jared casually rubbed his wrist , pretending to be indifferent . Timothy replied honestly , " She said thank you ." " That's it ? Just ' thank you ? " Jared's expression darkened . If she could say thank you , it meant 1/4 10:56 Thu , Sep 11 " Ms. Lily thanked me , but I don't dare accept it - I didn't do anything . I just followed your orders and got the lawyer arranged ," Timothy said nervously , unsure what Jared was thinking . He was clearly pissed at Lily , but still acting ... weird . Jared's body froze . " She thanked you ? " Timothy sensed danger and quickly backtracked . " Of course , she meant to thank you - but you left so fast ! " It was too late to fix it now . For the rest of the morning , Jared was in a foul mood . People in the office assumed it was because Sarah had been harassed by her neighbor . That's why he was so worked up . Yulia had planted someone in the company to keep her informed , and the news quickly reached her . She was furious , but seeing how worried Lily was about Henry , she kept quiet . " You didn't sleep at all last night . You should rest a bit ." Lily had spent the night in the living room , gathering information on how similar staged accident cases had been handled . Such cases were hard to pin down - only irrefutable evidence would stand . Her first visit with the victim's family had gone badly , but she understood their grief and outbursts . She didn't want to agitate the victim's mother again . Instead , she planned to investigate the victim herself and see what could be uncovered . " I'm not tired . Henry's still in detention . I need to find evidence fast ." That morning , she'd already gotten a scolding call from Azure , demanding to know why Henry wasn't out yet . Azure didn't care about how complicated things were . She just assumed Lily was being cheap or careless . 274 10:56 Thu , Sep 11 She hadn't even pulled into the hospital lot when she saw a group of people surrounding Wayne's car .
