Silent Devotion: The Billionaire's Patient Love Chapter 15
Though she wore a proper camisole under her sleep shirt, the neckline was loose.She changed anyway.William's wound would have torn open from those punches. It needed new stitches.That couldn't be done at home.Since he was hurt protecting her, she'd go with him to the hospital.Though she'd lived here for years, she'd never seen William stay overnight.Following him upstairs, she discovered the large corner suite on the third floor wasn't empty as she'd thought - it was his.The spacious room was almost bare of personal touches."Let me see your arm. I'll clean it before we go to the hospital."She was close enough now to smell the metallic scent of blood.William didn't move. "Just leave the supplies and go.""Don't be stubborn about medical care," Kaylee set her first aid kit on the bench, along with his black opal cufflinks she'd retrieved. "Or we can go straight to the hospital.""Not necessary."William's long fingers began unbuttoning his shirt.As each button opene

As she cleaned his wound, Kaylee said, "This needs new stitches. If you want privacy, we can go to Honor Medical. I'll find a private treatment room - nobody will see."William turned slightly, watching her gentle care. His dark eyes softened.A sharp knock interrupted the quiet."William, William, it's me." Susanne called through the door. "Are you in?"Kaylee looked anxiously at William, seeking guidance. Though helping with his injury wasn't inappropriate, he clearly wanted it kept private. Her presence would raise questions."It's fine." William patted her head. "Help me with my shirt, I'll handle this."The wound was bandaged but dressing was still difficult. Kaylee helped him into his shirt."Stay here. Don't worry, no need to hide."His calm voice had a strange power, instantly calming her nerves.William buttoned up while opening the door."Sorry to disturb you," Susanne said. "And I apologize for my outburst earlier.""Mm."William leaned against the doorframe, h

"Of course." Susanne backed down, her tone conciliatory. "Get some rest. I'll take Alex to the hospital."William waited until she left before closing the door.Kaylee found herself studying him. His features were classic, aristocratic - almost perfect in their arrangement. Though Alex had some of his looks, their presence was worlds apart.His shirt was partially buttoned now, hiding his abs, but the fabric still traced his athletic frame. Combined with his position as the Morgan Group's young CEO.How could anyone resist such a magnetic presence?William caught her staring, his eyes dancing with amusement. "See something interesting?"Kaylee snapped back to reality, her cheeks burning.She stood quickly, flustered. "No, I... I was just thinking.""About?""Well... since Aunt Susanne is taking Alex to Honor Medical, we might run into them. You wanted to keep this private, so... maybe we should try another hospital." She gathered her thoughts. "I have a colleague at Metropolit

After Emma left, it was just Kaylee and William in the small treatment room.She helped him carefully remove his shirt.The fluorescent lights were typical hospital issue. Much brighter than his bedroom's soft lighting. The harsh glare filled the small space, making the scars on his back even more vivid.Kaylee studied them professionally.Her medical experience told her these scars had formed over many years. Old wounds hadn't healed before new ones appeared. The lighter ones weren't necessarily more superficial - just older. Children's bodies heal better than adults', leaving fewer scars.And these marks seemed to come from different sources...William noticed her examining his scars but said nothing.He sat perfectly still.Kaylee refocused, administering the local anesthetic. Once it took effect, she efficiently completed the sutures."The new stitches will take longer to heal, about three to four weeks," she said while applying the bandage. "We'll need to change the dress

Before Kaylee could explain, William spoke up. "I'm not that kind of man.”"Oh, new boyfriend?" Emma's voice brightened. "Good for you! Never liked your ex anyway. What a jerk - never cared about you, just pushed you around. Remember finals week? You were running on empty, and he made you bake a cake just to impress his friends! Still makes my blood boil.""That's all in the past, he-""Listen here," Emma turned to William, "don't you dare treat her like he did, taking advantage of her kind heart, making her do everything! She might not stand up for herself, but her friends will."Emma was convinced William was Kaylee's boyfriend. She wouldn't hear any explanations, already in full protective-friend mode.Before she could continue, an ambulance pulled up, sirens wailing."Got to run!"Emma waved and rushed to the incoming patient.Back in the car, Kaylee shifted uncomfortably. "Sorry about that. She jumped to conclusions. I'll set her straight later."After a moment of silence

William gazed down, his fingers gently tucking her loose hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate profile.She looked peaceful in sleep, almost innocent. That was how most saw Kaylee - gentle, kind, easygoing. But William knew another side of her - her strength, her pure heart.No wonder she didn't remember him.Back then, illness had left him a shadow of himself. He looked nothing like he did now.Years ago, discovering she was Alex's girlfriend, he'd resigned himself to being just her uncle-in-law.But thankfully...Fate had other plans.-The next day, William's car dropped her at the hospital.After changing, she checked on Anne, got the consent forms signed, and headed to surgery.The stent procedure was routine for Kaylee now. Ninety minutes later, everything was perfect.Leaving the OR, still in her surgical coat, she found three people waiting.William and Alex's parents."Surgery was successful. Everything's fine."She briefed them quickly before heading to her

William turned to Marcus, his warmth evaporating instantly. His dark eyes flashed with clear displeasure. "Why are you here? Need something from Kaylee?"His protective stance had silently answered Marcus's earlier question about her relationship status.Marcus withdrew his hands from his pockets, laughing nervously. "Nothing really. Mom came in with stomach pain, thought it was digestive. Dr. Lawson caught the heart condition. We didn't believe it at first, but she was right. Just wanted to thank her.""Finished?" William's tone was clipped. "Then you can go.""Right, of course." Marcus practically fled.Once he'd disappeared, Kaylee sat at her desk and turned to William. "Thanks for that.""Mary's a shark in business, but her son's just a trust fund kid. Wastes money. Not your type."William watched her intently, his tone protective, as if worried about her choices."I get it, William.” Kaylee smiled at his concern. "I deal with this all the time."William looked surprised.

"Alex, let go of me." Kaylee struggled with all her might.Alex gazed into Kaylee's eyes, tightening his grip on her wrist one final time before releasing his hold. "I'm sorry," Alex said, a self-deprecating laugh escaping his lips. "If I told you I once thought you'd be the one I'd marry, would you believe me?"Kaylee stopped trying to make him stand. Half a meter away, she calmly faced him. "Alex, since our breakup, I've reflected on things. No matter how things played out, I never would have married you. I would have realized that eventually. It was just a matter of time.""Kay, I know I'm not a good man...""Let's not discuss this further. Treat Lucy well. Taking responsibility for your partner is what a man of integrity should do."Kaylee had no desire to hear more of Alex's reflections, though she had waited years for him to have this realization. But it only happened once he had completely lost her."Kay...""Alex, I've let go of the past and wish you happiness." Kaylee

Meanwhile Wendy wanted to shop for some new outfits.As the daughter of a top lawyer who charged by the minute, Wendy naturally headed to North City's most exclusive luxury shopping district, lined with high-end flagship stores.Before she could decide which store to visit, a familiar car pulled up in front of a famous luxury boutique. Alex and Lucy stepped out, with Lucy clinging affectionately to his arm as they entered the store."This jerk Alex! He was so stingy with you back then, but now he's buying luxury goods for Lucy? Let's go see what they're getting!" Wendy pulled Kaylee toward the store."Don't bother - I was the one who always refused gifts," Kaylee explained. Throughout their relationship, she'd turned down most of Alex's gifts except for birthday presents. The reason was simple she couldn't afford to give gifts in return, even at a tenth of the price. Eventually, Alex had stopped offering except on her birthday."Well, I wanted to check out this store anyway!" Wend

After that day, Henry's only prayer was for Alex and Kaylee's relationship to work out - for them to date, marry, and live happily ever after. If that day came, he'd give them the biggest wedding gift ever, even if he wasn't invited. Not for their sake, but in hopes that William's love-struck brain wouldn't be awakened again.Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.Just as Henry's mind wandered, William asked from his desk, "How's the investigation into the bar incident going?"That night William was injured, Henry had invited him to dinner. Their car suddenly got a flat tire, and two vans surrounded them trying to kidnap William. He was injured in the fight and had to take shelter in a crowded bar nearby."We've tried everything. Those guys truly knew nothing. The money trail went overseas and disappeared. The most suspicious was that curly-haired man on the security footage - might've been wearing a wig. No other cameras caught him," Henry reported everything he'd found.To

"But he took it on..." Kaylee knew this because the outcome was clear to everyone - William was now the head of the Morgan family. Even after Victoria had scolded him yesterday, she still had to apologize later."Exactly. My dad says his company's board members all opposed it, but William used his own money to save the Morgans. Dad calls it the only unsolved mystery about William - why he'd rescue a family that had treated him so ordinarily," Wendy said, mimicking her father's tone.The two girls lay on the same bed, with Kaylee scrolling through her phone as she asked, "Could it be that the Morgans were actually good to him, but others just didn't know about it?""Good? Hell no. His father's first wife died early, and his marriage to William's mom was basically a middle-aged arrangement without much love. His mom was almost forty when she had William, and soon after his birth, mother and son moved abroad, rarely returning," Wendy explained, leaning closer to whisper, "I heard Willi

Kaylee had never paid attention to economic trends, wealth rankings, or prominent business figures in the country.Wendy's father was a renowned corporate lawyer who dealt with the nation's elite and wealthy. Growing up in this environment, Wendy knew all about the legendary figures in these circles. Among them, William Morgan stood out as particularly remarkable.Kaylee couldn't understand what Wendy meant by "being deceived." "What would anyone gain by tricking me?""He could be an impersonator. Are you sure he's really Alex's uncle? Did Alex confirm this, or did you just take his word for it?" Wendy fired off questions rapidly.Simply put, she doubted this man was actually William Morgan. According to rumors, while William wasn't completely detached from human emotions, he certainly wasn't the type to casually drive someone home."He's been staying at the Morgan mansion with me these past few days, and... he signed the consent forms for his mother's surgery today. There's no mi

The restaurant was perched alongside the river in North District, facing a skyline of glittering skyscrapers with their dazzling light displays. They were seated at a prime window table with an unmatched view of the city.As the waiter brought their menus, William explained, "They're known for their contemporary Asian fusion here. Feel free to order whatever catches your eye."Kaylee scanned the menu, which featured both traditional and modern spicy dishes. She remembered dining at a similar restaurant with Alex once. The moment she'd started ordering, he'd yanked the menu from her hands with a sneer, "You obviously don't know fine dining. These dishes are completely tasteless - no one with class would order them."That experience had shattered her confidence in ordering for months afterward.Noticing her hesitation, William suggested, "How about their signature spicy beef? It's a house specialty.""I seem to always order that...""Having a go-to dish at every restaurant is a goo

"So sure this apartment is mine to rent to you?" William asked, unfazed by her revelation.The realtor beside them, however, looked shocked and flustered.Kaylee glanced back at the luxury apartment one more time. In the early evening light, warm sunset rays streamed through the floor-to-ceiling ultra-clear glass windows, flooding the entire room. The well-maintained leather sofa set in the living room gleamed softly in the sunlight. Even the sleek metal coffee table with its modern design had taken on a gentle glow.Everything she saw confirmed her suspicions. No one would rent out a place like this at such a low price. For any reason.But instead of pointing this out, she turned back to William and said earnestly, "Because I know I've never been particularly lucky. I don't believe such coincidences would happen to me."William sighed softly. "My staff handled this poorly," he admitted, acknowledging his involvement."Thank you for trying to help, Mr. Morgan." Kaylee turned to t

"Of course," William agreed readily.They were set to meet the realtor at the entrance of an apartment complex near her hospital. The complex was about forty years old with no property management, and the roads inside were cluttered with debris on both sides. Cars couldn't even drive through, forcing them to walk in.William's brow furrowed as he took in the dilapidated buildings, potholed roads, and makeshift chicken coops scattered across what should have been green spaces.Noticing his expression, Kaylee said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Morgan. All the places I'm looking at are similar to this. Please feel free to leave if you have other things to do.""I'm staying," William replied firmly.Their realtor turned out to be a woman. Upon meeting them, she gestured upward, "This building is six stories tall. The apartment we're viewing is on the fifth floor - not the top floor, so you won't have to worry about leaks."Given the rundown surroundings, she struggled to find other

William stepped into the hospital elevator and dialed Henry Luther's number. After a brief connection, he quickly explained what needed to be done. Despite Henry's clear reluctance, he had no choice but to agree.—Late that afternoon, around 5:50, Kaylee finished her ward rounds and was heading back to her office when she noticed William waiting by the nurses' station. He'd swapped his formal morning attire for a more casual look - a light yellow patterned shirt paired with faded jeans. The change in outfit gave him a completely different aura.His outfit change didn't surprise Kaylee - Alex had always done the same, freshening up before important client meetings. Even just standing there, William's striking features were drawing admiring glances from the nursing staff."Mr. Morgan, give me a moment to change," she called out. Like all doctors, she needed to leave her white coat at work.Her plan was simple: clean William's wounds, then meet the realtor. But a young nurse
