Third Person's POV
Viona frowned in distaste. Rafael had already told her about her father's threat. But what was this? Why were all the people who should not know suddenly knowing?
Caroline should have been the last person.
"Is that an assumption?" Viona asked, her mind split between the shocking news and Roey inside the operating room.
Vivian stepped closer. "I thought she was heading to Raya when I followed her. She knew about Raya's surgery. When I asked, she said she came from home. But when I read Mom's message, it was clear she was lying. And thinking back… when I dragged her out of the hospital, there were three strange men in her car. Why would she lie? And who were those men for?"
Vivian handed her phone to Viona as proof. The moment Viona read the message, she didn't hesitate. She pressed dial and called her mother.
The call was picked up on the first ring.
"Hello, Vivian…" Her mother's anxious voice came through.
"It's me, Viona, Mom."
