Mariel and Reese lived in a double hospital room, with no one on the other bed. Mariel boldly occupied it.
Mariel answered the inexplicable phone call, just as she was beginning to feel sleepy and about to enter
dreamland.
Suddenly, there was a knocking on the door.
Mariel was so angry that her lungs hurt. She just wanted to curse!
Her emotions had reached the brink of explosion.
She got out of bed in anger, rushed to the hospital room door, and pulled it open.
Lukas heard the woman's voice, which was similar to the voice on the phone. He calmly asked, "Is Reese in this
ward?"
Mariel recognized Lukas's voice and who he was. She cursed directly: "Are you crazy! Why are you knocking on
the door in the middle of the night?"
Lukas ignored her anger and calmly said, "If she's not sick, she wouldn't be in the hospital. Please step aside, |
cto see Reese!"

Reese had trouble sleeping before, so the doctor gave her sedatives at night. Otherwise, she wouldn't have slept
so deeply.
Mariel glared at Lukas with fiery eyes, wanting to curse him, but also wanting to curse herself: "I'm too kind-
hearted, otherwise | wouldn't have stayed to take care of Reese!"
Lukas's tone was flat and he said: "Go to the Fiveone Hotel across the street, mention my nand you can
check in directly. | will call the hotel front desk. Thank you for taking care of Reese. I'll take it from here!"
Mariel had never seen anyone like Reese before!
She was so angry she felt dizzy: "If you wantto go, I'll go. Have | never stayed a hotel before? Who do you
think you are? Why should | go just because you
tellto? What's your relationship with Reese and what qualifies you to take care of her? Who needs your
thanks!"
When Mariel said this, she only thought that Reese was Lukas's employee and his companion at the banquet!
That's it!
She never thought that Lukas would say something shocking with a straight face: "Stay at the hotel or don't, the
room will be there for you. Reese and | are married. Do you needto show you our marriage certificate?"
Mariel was stunned: "You, you're not single?"
Lukas looked past her towards Reese on the hospital bed, seeming relieved that she appeared to be alright. He
said, "I don't need to report to you about that!"
Lukas dragged Mariel out of the hospital room, and when the door closed, her mind was still blank!
If Lukas was Reese's husband, then who was the senior from yesterday afternoon...who was he!
But, when she thought of Reese helping her tear apart the mistress, she knew that Reese couldn't be a two-
timer. She went directly to check into the hotel across the street.
The next morning.
When Reese woke up, Lukas was on the phone.
He received a call from Martins: "Mr. Strakovski, the car accident of Miss Roberts was the sas your last car
accident. The other party drove a scrapped car and the driver was a convict, who also happened to be the same
person who crashed into you last tand escaped from prison with someone else."

When Lukas heard this, his face immediately darkened: "Who did it? You still haven't found out after all this
time?"
Lukas never thought that Reese's accident was somehow related to him!
Martins pondered for a moment and said, "We found out this time. The reason we didn't find out before was that
we didn't find out the other party's social connections. This time, we found out that the other party's social
connections were not outside, but inside the prison!"
Lukas's expression becugly: "What does that mean?"
Martins continued: "The man who hit Miss Roberts with his car this twas in a relationship with the person
who hit you with his car last time. They were lovers when they were in prison. | didn't know how they were
caught by Steven King after they escaped from prison!"
"Steven King only wanted to take revenge on you and Miss Roberts. He did things very neatly, so he erased all
traces of contact with those two. But this time, that man left a suicide note, and I found it before Steven King did,
which helpedfind sclues!"
Lukas's entire body was filled with a sinister aura, as if he was about to kill: "Did Steven King do it?
