DreameNovelA Favor 140 I had spent so much effort trying to orchestrate a ride in the car, and yet, in the end, my wish was granted so easily. However, obtaining the specific address I needed required a more detailed plan.
"Ben, can you pull over? I feel sick, and I think I need to vomit," I said, clutching my stomach and feigning discomfort as we passed a pharmacy.
"Sure, sure," Ben replied, immediately glancing atthrough the rearview mirror, his face full of concern.
The car slowed to a stop. Ben quickly turned to check on me. "Elaine, are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital?" "I think it's the coffee Ethan made," I said, using Ethan's nto amplify Ben's concern. "It upset my stomach. Could you getsomeprazole? I might feel better after taking it." Ben nodded, clearly worried. "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital instead?" I didn't respond, but Ben grasped the situation instantly. Over the years, he had learned my standing in the Mercer family. Even though I was no longer with Logan, Ben wouldn't dare to takelightly.

There's warm water in the car-I'll pour you swhen I get back," he said before hurrying toward the pharmacy.
As soon as Ben crossed the railing in front of the pharmacy, I sprang into action. I leaned over, heart pounding, and opened the navigation route history on the car's console.
The tension was unbearable. My hands trembled as I scrolled through the records, constantly glancing outside to make sure Ben wasn't coming back. I knew I had only a few minutes before he returned.
I skimmed through the navigation history, but to my dismay, I couldn't find anything promising-not even routes from the past month. Had I miscalculated? Frustration bubbled up inside me, but I refused to give up. I continued searching as Ben walked back across the railing, the medicine in hand.
Suddenly, I spotted a route marked as private.
Normal routes wouldn't be labeled as private unless someone had deliberately hidden them. My instincts toldthis was the sanatorium I was looking for.
However, accessing the private route required a password.
I bit my lip, realizing the problem. Ben, as the chauffeur, could have set the password-or Ethan might have.
I reasoned that Ethan was the car's owner and likely the one responsible for setting the password. Ben was just following instructions.
Ben was now less than two minutes away. My window of opportunity was rapidly closing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI wracked my brain, trying to think of what Ethan's password might be. I had three chances, but if I got it wrong, the system would lock and alert Ethan.

The first possibility that cto mind was Tessa's birthday. Etham adored her so it seemed like a logical dored its choice: 1 entered the date, but the system rejected it. I gasped, anxiety clawing atas I glanced outside. Ben was less than 100 meters away.
I closed my eyes, focusing hard.
Ethan's love for Tessa was undeniable, so maybe their wedding anniversary was the key. I entered the date, but the system denied access again. Panic surged through me. Two attempts had failed, and I had only one left. Ben was now 50 meters away, his figure clearly visible through the tinted windows.
I remembered something Logan had once told me: Ethan and Tessa never played favorites between their sons. They often used both Logan's and Miles's birthdays for passwords. Desperately, I decided to combine their birthdates.
