"This surgery is so complicated, with so many doctors failing. Doesn't the Divine Healer need to check first? "Starting it this soon feels a bit too hasty." Lana stood by, handing Marilyn a towel. After hurriedly drying her hands, Marilyn made her way upstairs. "For something as serious as surgery, how could I not be there?" Marilyn said, annoyed. "Lance should have at least told me." Virginia stood still, her eyes catching sight of Marilyn hurriedly heading upstairs. She hesitated for a moment. It was as if she had made a major decision. Taking a deep breath, she followed Marilyn up the stairs. She was angry, of course, but Steven's illness was caused by her own medicine, so she had to go and see. If it couldn't be cured, so be it. But if he recovered and started saying anything about her being involved with the medicine, that would be a disaster. Although Virginia felt that Steven probably wouldn't know it was her medicine, she decided it was better to be safe and see things for herself. Marilyn focused entirely on the surgery and walked briskly, not paying attention to whether anyone was following her. By the time she realized, Virginia had already passed security and walked in with her. ... Lance and Addison sat side by side on the chairs outside the patient's room. The sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor. Instinctively, they turned their attention toward the source of the sound. "Lance, has the Divine Healer gone in?" Marilyn's voice preceded her arrival. "Mom, what are you doing here?" Lance stood up, ready to help Marilyn, but his gaze quickly shifted to Virginia, who was following behind her. Lance froze for a moment. A wave of unease washed over him. Once you start feeling uneasy, it's hard to shake off that feeling. You'll feel trapped, surrounded, and like everything is against you. "Virginia ... Why are you here?" He couldn't help but feel the words burn on his tongue. Virginia must have been ready, as she followed suit. "I came to see Steven." Virginia's smile was as soft and natural as always, appearing perfectly normal. "You ... " Lance looked at her smile, unsure of what to say. "What's the matter? Am I not welcome, Lance?" She smiled again, without any resentment. Lance furrowed his brows, avoiding her gaze. "It's not that you're unwelcome." Marilyn, puzzled by the sudden silence from her son, turned around and saw Virginia talking to Lance. She immediately became anxious. "Virginia? Who allowed you to come here?" This was the Johnstons' private area, and not just anyone could enter, especially not Virginia."You ... You're not following me, are you?" Marilyn's face immediately shifted as the thought crossed her mind, and she snapped, "Get out!" "Marilyn, I only wanted to check on Steven." Virginia was a little scared. Her eyes flickered nervously, giving a sense of helplessness. "Please don't be so harsh on me, can you?" "I said get out. Didn't you hear me?" Marilyn said, ignoring Virginia's frightened look. When Virginia didn't budge, Marilyn turned to Lance. "Take her out."
