Hearing Joel's words, Kaia quickly put on his jacket.
It wasn't the first time she'd ended up like this. She'd caught a fever once, all because she hadn't dressed warmly enough.
The senior professors at the institute would fuss over her like doting grandfathers, all talking at once.
"Dr. Bennett, you're a pillar of the nation. You can't afford to have anything happen to you," one of them said.
"Even though you're still young and healthy, you need to take care of yourself. Otherwise, you'll regret it when you're older," another added.
The third chimed in, "I just had the kitchen whip up some chicken noodle soup for you. Don't forget to drink it! And remember to get enough sleep—early to bed, early to rise, and make sure you eat a balanced diet..."
Normally, those senior professors treated her with the utmost respect in academic matters, but the moment her health was involved, it was like they all turned into her family elders.
Kaia was snapped out of her thoughts by Joel's wary tone.
"Something's off," he said.
Kaia shook herself out of her thoughts. "What do you mean?"
Joel checked the rearview mirror. "See that car behind us? Feels like it's been tailing us for ages."
Kaia hadn't noticed anything strange, but she trusted Joel's instincts. If he thought something was wrong, she believed him.
"You think someone in that car is spying on us?" Kaia asked.
"Could be," Joel replied.
Kaia raised a hand to her chin, her sharp eyes glinting with intelligence.
"If they're just snapping photos, I don't care. But if they've been tailing us this whole time, they're definitely up to no good. This is the only road to Moreno Manor, and the whole mountain is the Moreno family's territory. There really shouldn't be any other cars out here," she said.
"Makes sense. So what's our next move?" Joel asked.
Kaia glanced at the car in the rearview mirror, a sly grin spreading across her face. "Spin the car around and ram them."
"Wait, what?" Joel stared at her, completely taken aback.
Kaia's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Are you serious?" Joel asked.
"Isn't this thrilling?" Kaia was practically buzzing with energy. If Joel hadn't been behind the wheel, she probably would've already floored it and crashed into them herself.
"But you're still in the car," Joel said, his brows furrowing.
"No worries. Hit them!" Kaia shot back.
Joel gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the wheel. "Then hold on tight."
"Yeah," Kaia said, cool as ever.
Meanwhile, Tobias had just gotten the latest update from Devin. He stood by the window, binoculars in hand, scanning the road below. Sure enough, he spotted the car tailing Kaia and Joel.
'Who the hell is following them?' he wondered.
Just as he was trying to figure it out, he saw Kaia's car suddenly spin around and speed up, heading straight for the tailing vehicle.
A loud crash echoed through the night, shattering the silence.
Tobias's eyes widened in shock, his anger flaring.
'If Kaia got a scratch, I swear I'll make whoever is behind this wish they'd never been born.' Tobias seethed.
Tobias slammed down the binoculars and didn't waste a second. He tore out of the room and sprinted straight for the crash site.
Devin was totally floored. The last thing he expected was for Kaia's car to suddenly spin around and, without even a hint of hesitation, slam straight into the other vehicle.
'Joel is seriously hardcore,' Devin thought. 'When he says he'll crash, he crashes. Doesn't even care if Kaia might get hurt along with him.'
Kaia threw open the car door and jumped out, Joel right on her heels. He grabbed the man who was trying to bolt.
"Spill it. What's your deal? Why were you tailing us? Were you the one snapping photos of us in the shopping district?" Joel demanded, yanking the guy by his collar.
The guy's name was Josh Marshall.
