Farris paused, collecting himself before he said slowly, “Today is Mina’s trial.


    ”


    Ste was taken aback and instinctively nced at the calendar on her table.


    Previously, after she and Miley had found themselves in a precarious situation at the shopping mall, she had be somewhat watchful of Mina.


    However, everything had proceeded smoothly afterward.


    And amidst her busy life, she had gradually forgotten about Mina’s existence.


    She was stunned upon hearing the news.


    Regainingposure, Ste replied, “Understood.


    ”


    “Ste…” After a brief hesitation, Farris asked, “Mina genuinely regrets her actions this time.


    She wishes to apologize to you in person.


    For my sake, could you consider meeting her?”


    At this point, Ste couldn’t find a reason to refuse.


    They would just have to meet once, and with Farris present, she doubted Mina would attempt anything.


    “Okay.


    ” After a brief pause, she added, “For your sake, I’ll see her for thest time.


    ”

    “Thank you, Ste,” Farris said with a hint of bitterness.


    “Send me the address, and I’ll pick you up.


    ”


    Ste provided her studio’s address.


    An hourter, Farris called, and Ste went downstairs.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    As she stepped out, she noticed a light drizzle beginning, making the weather a bit cooler.


    She shrugged, grabbed her coat, and hurried into the car.


    “It’s suddenly gotten chilly.


    Would you like another jacket?” Farris turned to her, attempting to ease the tension from their long absence.


    “No.


    We’ll only meet her.


    I’ll be back soon.


    ” Concerned by Farris’ tired Ste couldn’t but “Have been appearance, help ask, you busy at the hospitaltely? As a doctor, you should take care of yourself, or patients will worry about you too.


    ”


    With his gaze lowered, Farris tightened his grip on the steering wheel and murmured, “I’ve been trying to assist Mina these days, hoping the court will be lenient in her sentencing.


    ”


    Noticing Ste’s surprise, he added, “Even though I dislike Mina, our families have a strong bond.


    If I can help, I feel I should.


    ”


    Ste nodded silently.


    Recognizing her stance towards Mina, Farris chose not to pursue the topic.


    He started the car and drove off.


    Throughout their conversation, both avoided discussing Mina.


    Approaching a traffic light near the courthouse, Farris stopped at a red signal.
