?Chapter 1645:


    Luna’s brows furrowed. “Wait, you haven’t heard? You and Rickey are trending online. People can’t stop talking about both of you.”


    Elyse’s stomach knotted. “What?” She quickly pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling as she searched.


    A headline caught her eye, and she clicked on it. The article detailed Rickey’s legacy—how Reba had tricked and falsely used him. Despite the betrayal, he had continued working tirelessly for peace behind the scenes.


    The article stated that the first organization to provide relief efforts after the atrocity was founded by her father. Elyse froze, disbelief washing over her.


    Did her dad really start a relief organization? How could she not know? Luna nced at her watch. “It’s gettingte. I need to visit my mentor at the other hospital.”


    Elyse nodded, still processing the revtion. “Go ahead. I’ll be fine.”


    With a quick nod, Luna left.


    Jayden entered the room momentster. Elyse’s voice was urgent. “This article says my dad founded a relief organization. Did you know about this? Have you checked it out?”


    Jayden absently scrolled through his phone screen. “I haven’t verified it personally, but that’s what the news reports are iming.”

    Elyse’s brow furrowed in confusion. “That doesn’t make any sense. My father never established any relief organization. Why would they keep pushing this narrative?”


    She chewed her lower lip thoughtfully before adding, “Could they be attempting to salvage his reputation?”


    “I’m not certain,” Jayden replied, his expression darkening. “But I’ll investigate it thoroughly.”


    Elyse shifted uneasily in her seat. “Do you think Esteban is behind this information leak?”


    “No chance,” Jayden responded, running a hand through his hair. “He’s been tied uptely—hasn’t even returned my calls.”


    A shadow of worry crossed Elyse’s face.


    Noticing her distress, Jayden yfully pinched her cheek. “Hey, chin up. I’ve spoken with the doctor—you’re cleared to leave, just need to stay on top of your medication schedule. Why don’t you get changed?”


    Elyse’s spirits lifted at the news. After changing into fresh clothes, she left the hospital with Jayden by her side.


    Their path down the street came to an abrupt halt at a massive crowd. Elyse craned her neck to see ahead. “What’s causing all thismotion? The crowd is enormous.”


    “It’s a demonstration,” Jayden exined with a weary sigh. “Yesterday’s turnout was nothingpared to this. Reba’s really struck a nerve with the public.”


    “Seems we’ll have to find another route,” Elyse observed.
