“Why did you climb in through the window again?”
“I’m used to it.” Joel said as he closed the window.
Kaia twitched her lips speechlessly; this habit was truly indescribable.
“Are you really moving out tomorrow?” Joel asked.
“What, are you going to miss me?”

“It’s not that I’ll miss you, but I think it’s good that you live in Tobias’s house. At least security is guaranteed.
Kaia smiled and joked, “Are you trying to be lazy, let the Moreno family’s bodyguards protect me, so you can relax?”
Joel cleared his throat awkwardly, more or less defaulting.
“I’ll stay one last night tomorrow night, and move things out when I get back from school the day after tomorrow.” Speaking of this, Kaia reminded him, “You better not leave on the same day as me. Tobias is a meticulous person. He has long suspected the relationship between you and me. If I leave first, and you follow, it is tantamount to confessing to Tobias.”
“I know what to do, and I don’t plan to leave on the same day as you.”
“Okay.”
In the middle of their conversation, a knock suddenly sounded.
“Knock, knock, knock-”
“Are you in the room?” Tobias asked from outside the door.
“Oh no! You should leave!” Kaia hurriedly pushed Joel.
Joel also reacted quickly, darting to the window, opening it, and immediately closing it in the next second.
“What’s wrong?”
“The butler is downstairs!”
“Well…” Kaia frowned.
Tobias’s voice came again from outside the door, “If you don’t open the door, I’m coming in.”
Then the door was pushed open.
Joel immediately slipped under the bed.
Chapter 144
At that moment, sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on her face, bathing her in soft light. Her eyelashes fluttered a little, and she let out a faint, sleepy murmur.
“Wake up,” Kellan’s low, husky voice came from beside her. His hand gently adjusted her collar, which had become a little disheveled, and he quickly straightened it, giving a satisfied nod once he was done.
Zina slowly opened her eyes, surprise crossing her face as she looked at Kellan. “Have we arrived?” she asked.
Maybe it was because she had just woken up, but her voice had a soft, dreamy quality to it, and the way she looked at him in her dazed state made his heart skip a beat.
Kellan opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything at first. After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice low. “Yeah, we’re here. Let’s get out. I’ll show you to his office.”
Kellan opened the car door for her, acting the perfect gentleman. However, after they had walked quite a distance, Kellan suddenly seemed to remember something. He hurried back toward the parking spot.
Inside the car, Hayden sat with his arms crossed, looking both humiliated and frustrated. He stared at the two of them as they rushed back, and when he finally spoke, his tone was dripping with sarcasm.
me, I’d
“Wow, I can’t believe you two actually remembered me. I thought I’d be stuck here all day. Without like to see how you plan on getting into the office. Seriously, you’re driving me crazy,” Hayden said.
As he went on, Hayden sounded even more aggrieved, his eyes full of accusation as he glared at Kellan.
But Kellan shot him a death glare, and Hayden immediately quieted down, forcing a smile and saying in a deliberately light tone. “Alright, I was just messing with you guys. Hurry up, aren’t we going to the hospital?”
As soon as he finished, Hayden shot past the two of them and rushed straight toward the hospital.
“Where’s Dr. Grayson rushing off to in such a hurry?” a nurse called out, watching Hayden dash away.
The nurse reached out to stop him but before she could react, Hayden had already vanished from sight.
It took her a second to realize what had just happened. As soon as she turned around, she nearly bumped into Kellan and Zina, who were rushing in from outside.
The nurse recognized Kellan from before, so she quickly reached out to stop him. “Are you guys looking for Dr. Grayson? He just went upstairs,” she said.
“Thanks,” Kellan said quickly, then headed off in the direction she pointed.
Watching the two of them rush off again, the nurse felt her cheeks burn bright red. But then, noticing the tenderness in Kellan’s gaze as he looked at Zina, she quickly shook her head, forcing herself to focus.
‘Seriously, what am I even thinking? I should just get back to work and try to earn a bigger bonus,‘ she scolded herself.
With that, the nurse turned and walked away as if nothing had ever happened.

Kaia breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Joel was quick enough.

“What’s wrong? Why are you sweating on your forehead? You also look a little pale.” Tobias came to Kaia. reached out to her forehead, and wiped off the sweat.
A strange look flashed through Kaia’s beautiful eyes, and it was quickly hidden without a trace.
“Nothing, I just… did some exercise.”
“Oh, I see. Why didn’t you ask me to exercise with you? It won’t be boring if we exercise together. Tobias stared at Kaia with a smile that was not a smile.
Kaia stared at the man with indescribable strange eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Are you sure what you said just now was just surface–level exercise?”
Hearing the girl ask this, Tobias smiled. “You have some suspicious thoughts.”
Kaia twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly, knowing very well who had the unhealthy thoughts.
“But-“Tobias changed the subject, “I like it.”
Kaia was speechless.
Tobias reached out and grabbed Kaia’s shoulder, lowering his head, his eyes seemed to have small hooks in them.
“Why don’t we do some exercise together according to your suspicious ideas? Let’s do a two–person exercise?”
Joel secretly gasped. ‘Hiss.’
‘What sin did I commit? If I had known I would run into such a scene, I would not have come in through the window. Are they going to start exercising directly on the bed in a moment? What should I do?‘
Speechless, Kaia pushed Tobias away, “When can you be serious?”
“When you’re not around, I’m always serious.” Tobias replied matter–of–factly.
“Are you saying that it’s my fault that you’re not serious?”
“No, it’s my fault. When I see you, I can’t control myself.”
Kaia was already overwhelmed by the sweetness, but she didn’t feel any disgust.
In other words, if it were any other man, he would have become a useless person by now.
Just as Kaia was thinking this, Tobias suddenly noticed the closed window.
“It’s not even dark yet, why did you close the window? You even drew the curtains?”

Meanwhile, Kellan had already reached Hayden’s office. He stood there with his arms crossed, watching Hayden sitting in his chair, trying to appear dignified.
A few seconds later, Hayden awkwardly rubbed his hands together. “How was I supposed to know you two would walk so slowly? I actually called you here to talk business, so can you stop staring at me like that?”
Hayden, clearly feeling out of his depth, kept blinking. He looked at the two of them, but neither of them seemed inclined to speak. After a long pause, Hayden let out a deep sigh.
“Hey, you started messing with me first. Fine, since you two are here, I guess I’ll just be the third wheel today. Anyway, since you’re here, help me check something out,” Hayden said with a dramatic sigh.
At that, Zina looked up, her expression steady and calm. Although she felt a strange sense of unease at Hayden’s words, she instinctively glanced down at the medical file he handed her.
The moment her eyes landed on the file, Zina froze. She couldn’t even speak for a moment–her eyes locked onto the document, filled with intense curiosity.

Kaia also noticed Tobias’s abnormality at the first moment and saw the footprints on the ground.
‘Oh no! It had just rained outside, and Joel’s shoes weren’t very clean!
Tobias took a step to the bedside, and Kaia quickly stepped forward to block him.
“I’m a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while. Please go out.”
In Tobias’s eyes looking at Kaia, there was a rage about to overflow.
“Are you hiding someone?”
Kaia twitched the corner of her mouth, “Can you not speak so harshly?”
“Man?” Tobias continued to ask, his voice colder than before.
“It’s not what you think.” Kaia frowned deeply.
Tobias made to go around Kaia, but Kaia quickly moved to stop him.
“Let me through.” Tobias’s chest was full of suppressed anger, but he couldn’t unleash it on the girl.
He was afraid that if he exploded, what if he hurt the girl?
“Tobias, you can leave.”
“Kaia! Isn’t it enough that you have me?” These words almost burst out from between Tobias’s teeth.
“I told you it’s not what you think.”
“I don’t want to hear explanations, today I insist on seeing who is hiding under the bed.”
As he spoke, Tobias pulled Kaia away and reached out to lift the hanging bed sheet.
Kaia grabbed Tobias’s wrist.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Joel took the initiative to crawl out from under the bed.
“I knew it.” Tobias had actually guessed it in his heart.
Kaia came to Joel’s side, “Why did you come out?”
“If I didn’t come out, you two would probably start fighting. I don’t want to see you disagreeing because of me,

then I would become the villain who breaks up other people’s families.” Joel spread his hands helplessly.
Tobias stared at Joel with scrutinizing eyes, “Who exactly are you?”
Joel glanced at Kaia, “In this situation, hiding it would be treating him like an idiot, don’t you think?
After a two–second silence, Kaia nodded.
“It’s good that you figured it out.” Joel finished speaking and walked into the bathroom, “Wait for me, I’ll be right out.”
Devin heard the commotion and rushed over, only to find the room in a complete mess.
“What–what happened here?”
Kaia turned to look at Devin, “I’ve been found out.”
“What’s been-” Before he could finish his question, Devin’s eyes widened as if his eyeballs were about to pop
out.
What could have been found out? What else could it be?
Just as Devin was in shock, he suddenly felt a very sharp gaze fall on him, scaring him into a cold sweat.
Mechanically turning his stiff neck, he looked towards the eerie gaze and met Tobias’s terrifying eyes pierced through people’s hearts.
That one look almost scared the life out of him.
“You know about it?” Tobias’s voice was extremely oppressive.
Devin swallowed hard.
At that moment, the bathroom door opened from the inside.
