When the two of them got back, they were both shocked to see two other people in the apartment. One was none other than Arthur and the other one was nurse Mimi, Emerald's nurse when she was still staying in Senyu Medical Hospital.
Stefan looked towards Cayenne to see how she will react or what she would say. Contrary to his expectation that she would freak out, Cayenne calmly look at them while holding his hand, leading him inside the apartment.
"Ma, we're home." She greeted her mother with a faint smile.
"We're back, auntie. How are you feeling today?" Stefan kissed Emerald's cheek as a form of respect and settled down on the space beside Cayenne.
"I'm doing good. Jasmine was very attentive to me the whole time and my sons were with me, too." Emerald responded Stefan with a smile. She no longer ignored him like before after she observed that he was really kind and caring to Cayenne.
"I'm glad to know that. The most important thing is for you three to be safe always. Or else, Ayen will get mad at me if you get into trouble." Emerald just waved her hand with a smile on her face.
"You're worrying so much like Yen." She replied to him.
"Yen, you've got visitors." Luiz stated.
"Hn. I can see that." Cayenne smiled at his brother who looked apologetically at her. She understood why. She made it clear to everyone that Arthur isn't allowed to step inside their apartment once again but he still ended up coming this time. "What can I do for you nurse Mimi? Sorry, we took so long to arrive."
"It's fine. It's fine." The nurse told her. "I just wanted to see how your mother is doing. I'm glad you found a good nurse for her."
"Yes, Stefan did. We were worried to leave her alone here and we don't want to impose on you knowing that you've got so many patients to look after."
"You are right. I won't argue with that." Nurse Mimi stated. "By the way, Yen, can I talk to you alone for a moment?"
"Sure. Let's get inside my room." Cayenne stood up but she realized that Arthur was there and so was Stefan. She didn't want to them to be in the same space. It makes her feel a bit comfortable. "Uh…Do you mind if I bring my boyfriend along?"
Nurse Mimi looked towards Stefan and then to Cayenne. Since he wasn't really part of her family yet, she didn't want to have another extra person but seeing Cayenne's anxiousness, she couldn't help but nod her head in agreement. Stefan smiled helplessly and followed her. "Are you afraid that I'll be bullied by your first crush?" he asked in whisper which earned him a pinch on his waist.
"Who dares bully you? They'll have to face me first." Cayenne replied which made Stefan laughed happily. Only Cayenne can make him laugh in a carefree manner. That's after Alexander died.
The moment they got inside, Arthur felt how painful it was to see Cayenne smiling with some other man. It was supposedly his place. He was supposed to be laughing with her.
But nobody cared how he felt at this point. Luiz continued to answer his assignment. Kyle was chatting with Kath, planning the final date for him to meet her family. Only Emerald was left to talk with Arthur while waiting for Cayenne to come out.
Inside Cayenne's room, Stefan was standing and leaning his back on the door. Cayenne was sitting on her bed while Nurse Mimi sat on the only chair found in her room.
"Nurse Mimi, is there any problem?" Cayenne asked the young nurse in front of her. Although she was young, she was still older than Cayenne.
"It's about your mother's bill." Nurse Mimi said.
"Isn't it paid already?" Cayenne asked with a deep frown on her face.
"Yes, it's paid but last Tuesday, if I remember it correctly, someone came to the hospital to ask about your mother's bill. He even said that he was your father."
Cayenne remembered Chris and her lips stretched into a smile. "That was actually Stefan's secretary. We asked him to look into the identity of the person who paid the huge bill. In the end, he couldn't find anything."
"I see. I was worried that someone was snooping around your life. So, it shouldn't be something I worry about?"
"Yes, nurse Mimi. You don't have to worry about it. Everything's fine but, if possible, can you not tell my mother that the bill has been paid? She'd be bothered with it."
"Alright. I won't say anything. I won't interfere with your life but if you need help in the future, just let me know, okay?"
"Yes, nurse Mimi. Thanks a lot."
They talked for few more minutes before the nurse left. In fact, she thought that it was Stefan who secretly paid bill to help Cayenne. Seeing them come in together, she instantly knew that Cayenne was the rumored official girlfriend of this young bachelor. However, she didn't say anything about their relationship. At the same time, she was wrong with her speculation.
Stefan wasn't the one who paid the bill and he wanted to know it, too. Sadly, Cayenne told him to stop looking into it.
After dealing with the nurse, the last person was Arthur. This time, Cayenne didn't allow Stefan to come out. She had to face him alone.
"I'm about to leave. Can we talk outside?" Arthur asked her while cocking his head towards the door.
"Hn." She wore her jacket and slippers before heading out. They just stayed at the hallway of the apartment, leaning on the rail while watching the darky sky which was littered with small dots of stars. "You want to talk about Stefan?"
"So, you really are his girlfriend?"
"And you were doubting me for a long time now." Cayenne retorted.
"So many things pointed out towards you but I couldn't just get any evidence. I got it confirmed now." His voice sounded sad and lonely but Cayenne didn't let it affect her. "Are you happy with him?"
