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
"Then, thank you.""I should reach you in around 40 minutes. Come down and pick it up by then."Holly looked at her watch. "Sure. Thanks again." Then, she ordered some room service for Bryce and herself. After they finished their meal peacefully, she helped him change his bandage. His wounds weren't swollen anymore, but they were still hurting.His flesh seemed to be in a mess around the wounds. Holly felt heartbroken when she saw them, and she gave Bryce a hug.After their meal, the hotel staff came and took the dishes away. Then, Holly's phone rang. It was Zenia. After the call was connected, Zenia said, "Ms. Sinclair, I'm at the lobby now. Please come and pick up the package.""Alright. Please hold on. I'll head there right now." Holly grabbed her clothes and wanted to get changed when Bryce took her phone. "I'll get it.""It's just someone that Abelin has sent to deliver the cream.""I trust Abelin, but I can't say the same for others. We should stay cautious." He pa
Abelin went silent for an instant before saying, "You're like a sister to me." Zenia pouted and felt upset. "My aunt is your dad's ex-wife. Your mom is just his second wife, so we aren't related by blood anyway!"He told her the truth, "I have no romantic feelings for you.""Feelings can grow. Just give it a chance. We can find a spark eventually."Abelin frowned. "I need to get back to my work. I'm hanging up now.""Hey, what…" Zenia's face reddened in frustration when he heard the disconnect tone.Then, she mumbled, "He always does this and never indulges me. He would rather like a married woman than like me. How frustrating!" After that, she called Merope. "Aunt Merope, I visited Holly, but I only saw her husband instead. Wait, that's not it. He's her ex-husband.""Did her ex-husband say anything?""He didn't say much, but he was as dashing as Abe."Merope wasn't interested at all. She answered with a hum and quickly ended the call.…Meanwhile, Bryce returned to the
