?Chapter 1262:


    She double-checked the room to make sure no one else was listening in, then leaned closer, her voice barely above a whisper. “It… it says that Mr. Wall sent Jack to rescue Hailey.”


    ine’s eyes went wide, shock etched across his features. It was as if she’d just told him the world had flipped upside down.


    “That’s impossible!” The words shot out before he could stop them, so loud that Tina jumped in her seat.


    She agreed—she couldn’t imagine Mr. Wall being that sort of person.


    But how else could they exin the message on the phone?


    Was someone trying to frame him?


    Realizing he’d lost hisposure, ine quickly tried to pull himself together.


    He reached out and gripped Tina’s arm, urgency etched in every line of his face. “Tina, you need to hear this.” His voice was steady but intense. “Before I cked out, I actually saw part of that text message. Everything was chaos, and the phone was already smashed, screen cracked—but I could still make out thest few words.”


    He paused, letting each syblend with weight. ” …points to Alex.”


    Those words struck Tina like a jolt of electricity. She went rigid, every muscle frozen in disbelief.


    Her hands shook so badly she knocked over the treatment tray, the metal ttering sharply against the stillness of the hospital room.


    This couldn’t be real.


    Alex, who’d always watched over Sadie, who treated her with nothing but care—how could he possibly have a hand in something so underhanded?


    Tina’s voice quavered, her whole body trembling. “You… you must be mistaken, right? Maybe you misread it?”


    ine shook his head, adamant. “No. That’s not possible.” He couldn’t bring himself to ept it.


    But what Tina had just described didn’t match the bit he’d seen himself.


    The details shedpletely.

    Where had the truth gotten lost?


    A new sharpness crept into ine’s eyes. “Think carefully. Did anything strange happen while the phone was being repaired? Did Alex get involved at any stage?”


    Tina was caught off guard by the sudden seriousness in ine’s voice.


    She could sense it—he was starting to suspect Alex.


    But Alex? That just didn’t seem possible.


    A frown creased her forehead as she forced herself to retrace her steps, ying the events over in her mind.


    The more she thought about it, the more little details started to stand out.


    “That day, your bodyguard found me and told me the phone was fixed, so I went to the shop to pick it up. He said some strange things, now that I think about it, but at the time, I brushed it off. As soon as I stepped out of the shop, phone in hand, I ran into Alex.”
