At Zoe’s answer, the expression on the nurse’s face stiffened for a moment, and then she revealed a strange smile.So, they had that kind of relationship.The nurse’s gaze when she looked at Zoe became disdainful.She thought that Zoe and Kyle were siblings. It turned out that Zoe was just a woman that Kyle was keeping...Oh, it was very likely that she was a mistress!“Ow! It hurts!”Zoe suddenly covered her head, looking at the nurse with a pained expression.The nurse changed her tone from the previous gentle one and looked at Zoe coldly. “You’re so dramatic. Of course it’ll hurt when applying medication. Just bear with it.”She spoke while continuing to change Zoe’s bandages, her movements noticeably rougher than before.Although Zoe had low intelligence, she was not foolish. She could tell that the nurse’s eyes were different from before. It was a little hostile. She bit her lip, not daring to cry out again.She lowered her head and looked at Kyle’s profile picture. “Ky.
He originally had an early morning flight back to Monafett. The plane would touchdown at 7 PM, so he could go to the hospital to have dinner with Zoe.However, he received a call from home on the way to the airport, so he had to return home at the last minute, delaying him for half a day.After getting off the plane, Kyle turned on his phone, and notifications flooded in.He opened it to find over a dozen messages sent by Zoe.“Ky, good morning. When are you coming back today?”“Ky, are you coming back to have lunch with me?”“Ky, why aren’t you replying to my messages?”“Ky, why aren’t you back yet? I miss you...”“Ky...”Kyle listened to the voice messages from Zoe. From morning until evening, her tone changed from anticipation to disappointment. The last voice message even had a hint of sobbing.She must be feeling wronged that he lied to her.The driver who came to pick Kyle up at the airport asked, “Sir, are we going back to the villa?”Kyle turned off his phone and sa
Kyle saw her limping toward him and quickly stepped forward to embrace her before she could reach him.Zoe held onto his hand tightly, bursting into tears. “Ky... Don’t dump me... I’ll be a good girl and take my medicine... I’ll sleep well. Don’t abandon me... Ky...”Kyle frowned. Did she think he did not want her because did not reply to her messages?“I won’t dump you, Zoe.”Zoe latched onto him like an octopus, crying so hard she gasped for breath. “You didn’t reply to my messages... You said you’d come back today, but it’s already twelve, and you still didn’t come back... I wanted to call you, but my phone is broken...”She became sadder the more she spoke, “I wanted to find you, but...but I didn’t know where you are... I hate this place. It’s full of stairs... I kept walking and walking...”Zoe had stayed here for nearly a month and had only gone downstairs twice. When she ran out earlier, she forgot about the elevator and went toward the stairs when she saw it, descending f
Soon, the doctor arrived.Kyle temporarily set the matter aside and let the doctor examine Zoe....Zoe’s sprained ankle did not affect the bone, so after applying medication for bruises, she just needed a few days of rest to recover.As for the injury on her head, the doctor found that a part of the wound had reopened. Fortunately, it was not severe, and would recover in a few days after reapplying medication and bandaging.After the examinations and treatments, it was almost dawn.Kyle stopped the doctor who was about to leave and said flatly, “Have all the nurses who entered this room yesterday wait for me in the office.”The doctor was stunned for a moment before nodding nervously. “Yes, Mr. Goodman.”“Ky...”Zoe lay in bed, never letting go of Kyle. She always held on to either his hand or his clothes.Kyle sat on the chair beside the bed, held her hand, and tucked it under the blanket. “Does your head still hurt?”“No.”He picked up the phone on the bedside table and
Faced with Kyle’s chilling gaze, the younger nurse could not hold back and began to explain with a trembling voice.“Mr. Goodman, I... I didn’t mean to. I was changing Ms. White’s dressings, but she didn’t want to cooperate and even threw things at me. I accidentally bumped into her when I dodged, but I didn’t expect her to fall off the bed...”Kyle crossed his legs, his bony fingers tapping on the couch armrest occasionally, and said in a neutral tone, “Zoe has always been obedient. She wouldn’t have refused to cooperate if you didn’t make her angry, let alone throw stuff at you.”The nurse lowered her head and tried to explain. “I... I was just chatting casually with Ms. White. I didn’t expect that my words would upset her...”“So, you’re saying that it’s Zoe’s fault?”“No... That’s not what I meant...”The nurse quickly raised her head but saw Kyle’s sharp and irritated gaze, his body exuding a sinister aura.She stiffened and felt an overwhelming pressure, quickly apologizin
Zoe happily took the cup. “Thank you, Ky.”It was almost noon by now, and Kyle had lunch brought in so he could eat with her.When eating, Kyle said, “After lunch, you have to undergo an examination.”Zoe instantly became unhappy. “Can I not, Ky? I don’t hurt anymore.”“No.”Zoe pouted, feeling aggrieved.During her hospital stay, she had to undergo examinations every few days which often involved having her blood taken. She was afraid of pain.Kyle looked at her and felt amused.She had always been afraid of pain, and it seemed she became even more so after losing her memory. Even getting an injection would make her cry.Kyle coaxed her patiently. “Be good. This is the last examination. If the results are fine, you can be discharged.”Zoe’s eyes instantly lit up. “I can finally be discharged!”She looked at Kyle. “Ky, can I live with you after being discharged?”Kyle stared at her, his gaze unfathomable. “Do you want to stay with me?”“Uh-huh.”Kyle smiled and picked up
After a while, Kyle saw her face turn red from holding her breath and finally let go of her.“Phew—”Zoe took a deep breath after finally being able to breathe, her chest heaving.Kyle licked his lips and gently stroked her head. “How sweet.”Zoe pouted her moist and pink lips and looked at him innocently. “I thought you were gonna eat me, Ky.”Kyle held her slender hand and said in a teasing tone, “Not yet.”Her body had not fully recovered and could not endure much.Zoe’s eyes were filled with confusion, not understanding what he meant.Then, he said, “You must get better quickly, understand?”“Okay!” Zoe also wanted to recover quickly so she could be with Kyle forever....The next day, all of Zoe’s examination results came out. Everything was normal, so she could be discharged.In the afternoon, Kyle processed the discharge procedures for her and brought her back to his villa in Monafett.As soon as Zoe got out of the car, she held his hand anxiously and looked around.
“Zoe!”Zoe was sitting on the bed and cried even harder when she saw Kyle enter. “Ky... Help me... I’m bleeding so much...”Kyle strode over. “What happened? Where are you bleeding?”Zoe threw herself into Kyle’s arms and pointed between her legs. “I didn’t do anything, but I suddenly started to bleed. There’s so much blood... Am I going to die?”Kyle looked down, and his expression instantly darkened.Zoe had just taken a shower and was wearing a thin T-shirt that barely covered her thighs. At that moment, there was a trace of blood on her fair legs.He picked her up and found a glaring red stain on the bedsheets under her butt...Zoe clung to his clothes and sobbed. “Ky, I’m scared...”Kyle secretly sighed in relief and carried her to the bathroom. “Don’t be scared. This is a normal phenomenon. Every girl will experience this. It’s okay...”Zoe opened her mouth, her eyes filled with tears and shock. “Really? So I won’t die?”Kyle kissed her forehead and assured her. “You wo
