Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 180 Jamison’s Warning
‘Give it to me,’ Jamison demanded abruptly.‘I can handle it myself,’ Callie insisted.Impatient, Jamison snatched the tweezers from her hand.‘Hey!’‘I’ll take care of it,’ he declared.Jamison proceeded to suture Callie’s arm, noticing that the wound had become slightly inflamed, likely due to her delayed treatment.A troubling thought crossed his mind—she must have been injured during the blast, which was almost two hours ago.He demanded, ‘Why did you wait so long to treat it?’Callie winced as he worked on her arm. ‘I... I didn’t think it was that serious.’Jamison probed further, ‘I’m the overall in charge at the infirmary. Why didn’t you inform me when you got injured?’Callie didn’t look at him. ‘I didn’t want others to know about my injury.’Jamison had a pretty good idea of whom she meant by ‘others.’He pressed, ‘Elias?’Callie bit her lip but remained silent, confirming Jamison’s suspicion.‘Why are you afraid of Elias knowing?’ Jamison asked with frustration. ‘I thought y
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 181 Crossing a Line
The mention of Katina made Elias momentarily tense.‘Callie’s a good woman. I don’t want her to suffer the same fate as Katina,’ Jamison growled.‘I’m not going to hurt Callie,’ Elias replied. ‘She and Katina mean different things to me.’‘Then what does Katina mean to you now?’Elias extinguished his cigarette and locked eyes with Jamison. ‘I don’t need you to tell me what to do. The way you are acting now…’He grabbed Jamison’s collar, his eyes showing a hint of violence. ‘Do you have feelings for Callie?’Jamison was thrown by the question.He believed he didn’t have any romantic feelings for Callie.He hadn’t known her for long, and he was aware she was with Elias from the beginning.Falling in love with Elias’s woman was out of the question.‘Are you out of your mind?’ Jamison scoffed.‘I’m not kidding,’ Elias stated firmly. ‘Jamison, your concern for her seems to have crossed a line.’‘I just don’t want to see her end up like Katina.’ Jamison removed Elias’s hand from his collar
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 182 The Good Doctor
Jamison donned medical rubber gloves, selected a pair of tweezers, and carefully unwrapped the gauze covering Callie’s arm.As the gauze came undone, it disturbed the wound, causing Callie to take a sharp intake of breath.Jamison’s gaze focused on the wound, revealing signs of inflammation despite the presence of scabs.He spoke sternly, ‘Your wound has become infected.’Callie had underestimated the seriousness of her injury because it didn’t hurt much when left untouched.However, when confronted with Jamison’s words, she looked down and noticed the inflammation around the suture.‘Looks that way,’ she acknowledged with a nod. ‘But it’s alright; I’ll take some anti-inflammatory tablets later.’Callie made a move to lower her sleeve, but her action was halted by Jamison’s firm grip on her hand.Jamison’s brow furrowed. ‘If you keep downplaying your condition like this, I can’t guarantee that Elias won’t find out about your injury.’Callie bit her lip, frustration building. ‘Dr Garci

Callie interrupted with a reassuring smile. ‘I appreciate your concern, but trust me, I’m fine. Right now, your priority is to rest and recover.’After taking Suthat’s temperature, Callie checked the thermometer reading. ‘Your temperature is almost back to normal, at 37.9 degrees. You’re healing well. Another day or two, and you can be out of here.’Suthat’s smile was strained.‘Just lie back down. There’s a stack of old magazines over there if you are bored.’ Callie glanced around and sighed. ‘I guess there’s no TV here.’After Callie left, Suthat looked around.When he was certain no one was paying him any attention, he discreetly removed the IV needle from the back of his hand.***In the war room, Elias sat at the head of the long table, and Harriet worked the projector.‘Based on the latest intel,’ she reported, ‘the explosion that occurred at 4:35 yesterday was a government-initiated event within Kurtazagg. It was designed to wipe out a rebel faction. The blast claimed the lives

‘Are you taking meds for the pain?’ Elias asked.Callie shook her head. ‘Not pain meds, though I took a couple of tablets for anti-inflammation.’Elias sighed. ‘Callie, keeping things from me only makes me worry more about you.’Callie hung her head. ‘I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—’Elias interrupted her gently, ‘Callie, what I want is not your apology.’He pulled her close, his grip firm.Callie buried her face in his chest, soothed by his strong, rhythmic heartbeat.‘The more you hide things from me, the guiltier I feel,’ Elias confessed, his voice a low murmur. ‘I know you’re strong and independent, but it’s my job to protect you, as your superior officer and your husband.’He continued, ‘If you’re hurt, let me know. If you’re in pain, let me know. If you’re unhappy or just need to vent, come to me.’Callie, touched, nodded. ‘I understand now.’She looked up at him. ‘I promise I won’t hide things from you in the future.’Elias raised an eyebrow, his voice low and seductive as he warn
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 185 They Are Married
Wendy and Elias exchanged knowing glances before the nurse sprinted away.As Callie approached Elias, she mumbled, ‘It’s still noon. Why are you looking for me?’Suddenly, Elias tightly grasped Callie’s small hand, and his dark, intense eyes held a hint of seriousness. ‘I’m here to check on your wound.’Callie found this unexpected.As a doctor, it was her role to examine patients, not the other way around.What caught her off guard even more was the flames of desire flickering in Elias’s eyes as he drew closer to her, his presence and scent enveloping her.Her cheeks flushed, and her heartbeat quickened.Elias noticed this and teased, ‘Why are you blushing?’Callie stammered, ‘I-I’m not...’Leaning down, Elias whispered in her ear, ‘Is there an empty ward nearby? Someplace private where I can conduct my examination…more thoroughly?’His suggestive words left Callie flustered, her heart racing.She replied breathlessly, ‘W-what examination?’Elias enjoyed her reaction, and his voice b
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 186 Fever
Jamison felt a pang of guilt for wrongly suspecting Callie.However, the image of Callie tenderly caring for Elias earlier that morning had reignited his anger.‘Dr Hawthorne,’ Jamison began, his eyes devoid of warmth, ‘even if your prescription is correct, there may still be issues elsewhere. However, since you are Suthat’s attending doctor, you must take responsibility for your patient. I won’t dwell on the process; what matters is his relapse and how to help him get better.’Callie met Jamison’s stern gaze. ‘Dr Garcia, are you accusing me of negligence?’Callie believed that doctors were only human, and she had followed her judgment in treating Suthat.She would not let her professional conduct be criticised like this.Callie stood her ground. ‘Dr Garcia, I’ll keep monitoring Suthat’s condition and dig into the cause of his relapse. But I have to defend myself here. I don’t believe I made any mistakes in fulfilling my duties. I simply did what a doctor should.’‘I hope your actions
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 187 A Woman of Contradictions
Wendy shot out an arm to help her up, but Callie was already on the ground.‘Callie!’ Wendy immediately crouched down. ‘Are you okay?’Jamison had been about to leave but turned around upon hearing Wendy’s voice.He saw Callie on the ground and a hint of panic flashed across his eyes.He tossed aside the file he held, bent down and carefully lifted her into his arms.Wendy looked at Jamison, her eyes filled with tears. ‘Dr Garcia, she—’‘Miss Goldman, you’re a nurse, aren’t you?’ Jamison didn’t look at her. ‘Do your job.’Wendy snapped back to her senses, her shock wearing off. ‘Oh, right. I’m on it.’She sprinted off in the direction of the pharmacy.Jamison carried Callie back into the infirmary and laid her gently down on an empty bed.Callie’s face was unnaturally pale, her red lips a stark contrast due to the fever.Her brow furrowed slightly as her long black hair covered her small face, giving her the appearance of a fragile, trembling creature.Jamison’s first instinct was to
