After Tobin left, he went to wash himself up in the bathroom. Upon opening the door, he noticed that Holly had already helped him prepare everything he needed to brush his teeth.Looking at the toothpaste on the toothbrush, he felt a bliss that he hadn't felt in a long while. Other than the fact that she didn't love him anymore, everything else about her at that moment was great. So, he decided to accept that he was a substitute.Since his arm was hurt, he couldn't take a shower. He simply washed himself up and returned to the bed. After lying down, he turned his head and looked at Holly. "So, are we together again?" She was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.He raised his hand and caressed her head. "I'm not putting you in a spot or forcing you. I'm not even going to make you come back to me. However, you have to promise me that you won't like someone else." Holly thought it was amusing. "You're so domineering.""That's how I've always been."Holly wasn't in the
Bryce came out of the bathroom. He had just shaved his beard, and there was a faint fragrance from his shaving cream. Seeing that it was Arthur at the door, his face fell slightly. Then, he asked with a deadpan face, "Why are you here?""I heard you were hurt. Since I had a meeting in Newmorrow, I decided to drop by." Arthur scanned Bryce and said, "Are you hurt badly?" Bryce calmly said, "Obviously, I'm not dead." Arthur was speechless for a second. "I heard a robber did this. The robbers in Calria sure are outrageous.""That's not it. Someone took advantage of the situation to hurt me."Arthur was stunned in surprise. "Do you know who did it?" Bryce smirked and looked at Arthur with a meaningful gaze. "If it's a rival company, then it's probably one of the enemies you've made in the past. Otherwise, it could be your dearest elder son."Arthur's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Don't overthink it. It can't possibly be Levi. He's your brother."Bryce said calmly yet firmly, "Th
Though the man didn't dress extravagantly, his imposing manner shouldn't be underestimated. He was Zorro.She greeted with a smile, "Mr. Gabelman Senior, why are you at the hospital as well?" Zorro pointed at the examination room next to them with his chin. "I'm here to get my body examined. When I saw you getting bullied, I decided to come to your rescue."Holly thought he was a great man. They had only met once. However, he had taken the initiative to help her when she was being put in a spot by Arthur.Arthur looked at Zorro for a few seconds and suddenly smiled brightly. "Oh, I believe there's a huge misunderstanding. We're all family here. Technically, you're like a cousin to me."Zorro slowly shot him a glance. "Don't say that. You're no cousin of mine. How could you bully a young woman like her at your age?" Arthur was stunned for a second before he said with a smile, "I wasn't bullying her. I was just negotiating with her.""I've heard everything. You just want her t
The doors to the examination room opened, and Bryce walked out. He buttoned his shirt with one hand, and there was no emotion on his dashing face.Holly took a close look at him and didn't notice anything wrong with him. She figured he hadn't heard their conversation earlier and secretly let out a breath of relief. The only thing she was afraid of was him getting angry for no reason.Compared to quarreling, it would be more torturous for Bryce to give her the cold shoulder.She grabbed the flask from the bodyguard and poured a glass of water before handing it to Bryce. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" He took the drink and calmly said, "I'm fine. It's just a simple electrocardiogram."Holly frowned. "Was the doctor who examined you a woman or a man?" Bryce was stunned for a while before he chuckled. Then, he gently rubbed her nose and said with a doting tone, "When did you become so petty? It was a woman at first, but I asked for a male doctor instead."She was satisfie
"She sold you for a billion dollars. How could you act like this for a woman who only cares about money?" Arthur's eyes were so full of disdain that he couldn't hide it at all.Bryce smirked subtly. "She really isn't like you described. If you continue to slander her, don't blame me for making things ugly." He sounded calm, and there wasn't any noticeable emotion on his face. However, he was intimidating.It made Arthur feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to punch Bryce. However, he endured it. He had never laid a finger on him. He was worried he would lose him if things had really gotten ugly between them."This is ridiculous!" he yelled after holding it in for a long time. Then, he stormed out the door and slammed it shut.Meanwhile, Holly had just returned with the mints that Bryce had asked her to buy. Upon reaching the ward, she saw Arthur leaving angrily, looking extremely upset. When she entered the room, she asked Bryce, "Did you two have a fight?"Bryce didn't answ
Even the lid of the kettle came off when it fell. Fortunately, it was made of stainless steel, so it didn't break. Zorro glanced at the kettle on the ground before looking up at Merope. He looked slightly upset with his cold gaze. "Are you that excited after hearing his name?"She felt embarrassed and tried her best to hide her anxiousness. "No, I'm not excited. I was just surprised.""I thought you had long forgotten about it," Zorro teased a little. "I did. If you hadn't mentioned him, I wouldn't have remembered him at all." Merope pretended to be calm as she spoke. Then, she picked up the kettle and walked to the water dispenser with a deep frown.She tensed up and was immediately filled with hatred. She felt fragile.After so many years, she still couldn't help panicking when she suddenly heard Arthur's name. No, it wasn't panic. It was hatred. She hated him. She hated Arthur Gabelman. He was the one who ruined her life!She placed the kettle under the water dispense
Holly wasn't that gullible. "Tell me the truth.""I wasn't able to bring you out for some fun when my legs were hurt back then. After I recovered, I returned to the company and worked nonstop every day to find my ground. I don't have the opportunity to bring you out at all. "I'll do my best to make time in the future and take you out for a spin."She had a bad feeling. "Are you going to lose your job soon?""Maybe."Holly figured out what was going on. She was certain that Bryce had a fallout with Arthur because of her, and she felt extremely guilty. "You…"Bryce knew what she was going to say, and he casually said, "So what if we had a fallout? Even if I get kicked out of the company, I'm not going to starve to death. "I didn't leave previously because everything my grandparents had was still in the company. It wouldn't be fair if I had left just like that."Mom kept delaying their divorce because of my grandparents as well. She didn't want to let others take everything that
Holly found it ridiculous. "Back at the hospital, I said that to Zorro because I was angry. Don't take it to heart."Bryce's pursed his thin lips slightly. He didn't really care about that. Instead, he was worried she would find out Abelin was Abel. That would be a fatal blow.Holly would even yell for Abel in her dreams. Meanwhile, Abelin would keep his eyes on her and grab any opportunity to get close to her. Sometimes, Bryce felt like he was the third wheel.He had previously thought about letting go. But whenever he was about to do it, he would realize that he couldn't bear to let go at all. It would hurt too much. Three years of relationship might not seem long, but it was enough to bind two people together. Since he couldn't let go, he had to endure it.Compared to Abelin, he was way happier. At least he had the love of his life in his arms, so it wouldn't hurt to stick around.Bryce calmed himself down and turned around, pulling Holly into his embrace. Then, he looked at
