Wayne immediately pushed open the hospital room door and saw Scarlett, her leg still in a cast, slumped over the side of the bed.

He frowned, "What are you doing?"

Before the words were fully out, he was already at her side, helping her up while trying to suppress his anger. "Your leg is like this, and you still want to run?"

Scarlett gently shook her head. In her current state, she couldn't run even if her legs were fine; she had no strength left.

Her chest was numb from the engorgement.

"I'm just thirsty."

It was only then that Wayne noticed her lips were cracked and bleeding.

His eyes softened, and he said gently, "I'll get you some water."

Scarlett lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and weakly asked, "Wayne, why won't you let me go?"

Wayne paused as he poured her a glass water. He knew he had feelings for Scarlett.

But because she had been with another man, he couldn't bring himself to admit it, not wanting to

compromise his pride.

Even though he had feelings, he kept th

    Wayne closed the door and started walking toward the window at the end of the hallway. Bryan followed him. "You've known Scarlett for a long time. Tell me about her," Wayne said, facing the window. He stood tall with one hand in his pocket, his broad shoulders and narrow waist creating a striking silhouette. Even his shadow cast on the floor was pleasing to the eyes. Bryan thought to himself that Scarlett and Wayne would make a great couple, like a match made in heaven.After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "What do you want to know about her?" "Everything." Bryan organized his thoughts before speaking. "Scarlett was an excellent student, always at the top of her class. After graduation, she excelled at work too. The director of Vincal Hospital held her in high regard. As for her personal life, she was pure..." He paused. "Scarlett used to be a good girl. She never dated anyone during school, even though many boys liked her. She received a lot of love letters, but she

    Wayne liked the feeling of her clinging to him. He smirked triumphantly. Lowering his eyelids, he said, "Don't you know if I'm strong or not?" Scarlett was utterly confused. "How on earth would I know if you're strong?" she thought Wayne must be out of his mind! Wayne's eyes held a deeper meaning, "You know." Scarlett couldn't grasp the hidden meaning behind his words. She just thought they were talking past each other. Outside the hospital, Wayne was afraid Scarlett might catch a cold, held her a bit tighter. As the driver opened the car door, he gently placed her inside and adjusted her coat. Scarlett looked up and saw his serious and caring expression, feeling a subtle flutter in her heart. But she quickly dismissed it. A man who could push her down from the second floor and disregard her life wouldn’t be kind to her. She didn't believe it. Her expression turned cold again. Wayne asked her, "Are you cold?" "No," Scarlett replied curtly. It seemed she

Looking at her reflection in a mirror, she straightened her clothes and chuckled slightly, thinking about what had happened earlier; No one cared where she was anyway. Suddenly, the door was kicked violently from outside, sending it crashing against the wall; before Scarlett could make up what was happening, the whole room went pitch black. Scared out of her wits, she trembled, she could feel her standing. " who's there? .. is anyone... Before she could finish her sentence, she was slammed against the wall and then onto the table. The items clattered around the floor, and a gun to her head. A voice threatened "Don't speak! If I hear a word I shoot. In the dim light, she could only make out a man with a pair of fierce eyes. She perceived a strong smell of blood and she knew he must be injured. Perhap

    Belinda obediently followed them to the hospital director's office. Wayne was slouched on the sofa, his tall frame perfectly straight and imposing. Only a careful observer would notice the faint paleness of his thin lips. The hospital's antiseptic smell masked the faint scent of blood on him Dressed in a pure black suit, his face exuded a sharp, commanding aura forged through countless storms. Just one look from him was enough to make anyone tremble with fear! His assistant circled behind Wayne, leaned down, and whispered, "All the surveillance footage from last night was deliberately destroyed. It must have been done by those who were after you, to avoid leaving any evidence. This is the doctor who was on duty last night, Belinda Carl and so she must be the one who booked the hotel close by. The director confirmed it, and I checked the duty roster myself. She was indeed on duty last night." Wayne looked up. Belinda gasped sharply. Wasn't this the CEO of Gray's cooperation

    The call was from her colleague, Bryan willow. They had graduated from the same medical school, and had gone abroad for further studies. Now, he was quite renowned back home. Bryan had always looked out for her, so they were good friends. "What's up? Tell me," she responded promptly. "I have a patient, but I have an emergency and can't make it. Can you go for me?" Scarlett glanced at the time. She didn't have any clinic appointments today. She had time in the morning, so she agreed, "Sure." "The address is Madonna villa, Area A, Unit 306. Just tell the guard you're looking for Mr. Christopher, and they'll notify him." "Got it." "And Scarlett, don't mention this to anyone, and don't ask too many questions. Just focus on doing your job and leave quickly," Bryan instructed. "I understand." After hanging up, Scarlett got into her car and headed to the location. The place was a high-end residential area with top-notch security and privacy. At the gate, the guard sto

    She lowered her eyes as she walked over to pack up the medical kit, not forgetting her duties as a doctor. "The wound shouldn't get wet for now. Disinfect it once a day, and try to wear loose clothing to avoid irritating the wound." She placed the medications down. "This one is for oral use, and this one is for external application." Wayne didn't turn around, merely responding with a faint "Hmm." Scarlett didn't say much more either.picked up her medical kit and walked out. She entered her car and drove back to the hospital, and it was almost eleven o'clock by the time she arrived. She grabbed a bite to eat at the hospital cafeteria. Just as she returned to her department, the director called her into his office. "I've decided to send Belinda Carl to the training at the Second District Hospital," the director said, his expression serious, as if he had something difficult to say. Scarlett was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Wasn't I supposed to go?" "You know, all

    Bryan came here looking for Scarlett , hitching a ride with wayne. When Belinda approached them, Bryan opened the car door and got out, saying, "I'm heading off." After he left, Belinda got into the car and sat across from Wayne, feeling a bit uneasy. She realized that wayne might have mistaken her for someone else. However, she also recognized the benefits of being close to him. The dean had always admired Scarlett, and suddenly, the opportunity to intern at the Second District Hospital was given to her, all because of wayne. Belinda decided to seize this man. Such a good thing, such an opportunity, was rare. She felt that fate was favoring her, and she had to grab it. "I won't lose this opportunity never," she said in her mind, lifting her gaze. Wayne seemed surprised that she had made a decision so quickly. He shifted slightly, appearing casual but actually curious about her answer. "I don't want anything." For him to promise marriage, there must have been a s

    "Miss Norman? I'm President Gray's assistant. He requests your presence. Please come with me." Upon seeing Christopher, Scarlett was momentarily stunned. She quickly lowered her gaze to hide the fact that she recognized him. The last time she had treated someone for an injury on behalf of Bryan, it was this man who had opened the door. So, he was Gray's assistant? And the injured person was wayne? "Miss Norman, please." Christopher's tone grew firmer when he saw she wasn't moving. Scarlett gathered her thoughts and replied, "I have to work." It was a clear refusal. She had no desire to see that man. "Miss Norman, think carefully. Given your current situation, if you upset President Gray, losing your job would be the least of your worries. It could ruin your entire career as a doctor." The threat was obvious. Scarlett clenched her fists tightly. Her father only provided for the surgery costs; her mother's treatment and care expenses were all covered by her salary. She

    Belinda's face turned ashen with fear, stuttering, "Y-you, why are you here?" Wayne strode forward and kicked her aside, his eyes dark and menacing. "How dare you deceive me!" Belinda fell to the ground in a disheveled heap, scrambling to get up in panic. "I didn't deceive you..." Wayne had heard everything she said, and yet Belinda still tried to hide the truth! He had once held some sentiment for Belinda because of that night, but now... He just wanted this woman to disappear immediately! "Mrs. Robert, keep an eye on her!" Wayne called Chris, instructing him to come and deal with Belinda. After hanging up, he looked at Scarlett, who lay on the ground, her breaths faint and weak. Hesitating for a moment, he then quickly moved to her side, squatting down. His hand hovered uncertainly before finally daring to touch her cheek, his voice trembling as he softly called her name, "Scarlett." He never imagined that it had been Scarlett that night. His heart quivered with emoti

    Chris rushed over to try and stop it, but it was already too late. Scarlett had fallen from the upstairs window. Wayne, with a cold demeanor, ordered, "Take her away." With that, he turned and walked out of the room. Henry glanced down from the window. Although it was only the second floor, it was still high enough to cause injury from such a fall. He felt a twinge of sympathy but didn't pity Scarlett. She was the one who had challenged Wayne first. Why did she have to run away secretly? They had spent months searching for her! Downstairs. Scarlett lay curled up on the ground, her whole body aching, but her legs hurt the most. She shakily reached to touch her leg bone, knowing that her leg was likely broken. Chris ordered his men to pick her up. There was no gentleness, just rough and simple actions! Scarlett was too weak to resist. She was like a boneless rag-doll, dragged along by them. Even though this was Jeff's territory, Wayne had come prepared with many men.

    He walked in and sat down, a fake smile plastered on his face. "President Gray, long time no see." The private room was dimly lit. Wayne lounged lazily in the shadows. No one could discern his expression or emotions. Wayne asked, "Did you need something from me?" "I heard that President Ortiz has a collaboration with Grand Prix Corporation. But then, I also heard that the CEO of Grand Prix Corporation has regrets?" Wayne's voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Yet it struck Jeff like a bolt from the blue! He knew it must be Wayne's doing. His heart bled, but he kept a calm facade. "It's just a collaboration. If it falls through, so be it." Wayne chuckled lightly. "President Ortiz is very magnanimous. But if the collaboration fails, I wonder how much President Ortiz will lose?" Jeff's face twitched slightly. Wasn't this just a deliberate jab at his sore spot? He knew Wayne was known for his ruthless tactics. He had come prepared, catching Jeff completely off gu

    Before Scarlett could respond, he spoke first, "If you don't want anything to do with Wayne, and you've already broken up with your boyfriend, why not be with me?" Jeff had asked Scarlett whose child it was. Scarlett said it was her boyfriend's, but they had broken up. So now, the child had no father. "No..." "Don't be so quick to refuse," Jeff interrupted her. "We've known each other for a few months now, right? I've treated you well, haven't I? We could be considered friends, right? You can't stay here forever. If you don't want Wayne bothering you, you need an identity..." Scarlett looked at him, lost in thought. She really couldn't stay here forever. Once she left, Wayne would eventually find her. "I can be your shield. You can tell Shane that your child is mine," Jeff said mischievously. His mischief was directed at Wayne. Even though the child wasn't his. But making Wayne think it was. Is Wayne going to be furious? "No way," Scarlett refused. She didn't want Wa

    Upon seeing Beatrice, Scarlett quickly shifted her gaze to Jeff. What does he mean by this? Why did he bring her mother here too? Her expression darkened. "Scarlett, this gentleman said he's your friend and brought me to see you. And here you are," Beatrice said as she walked briskly over. Scarlett smiled at her mother, "Mom, please go inside first." Though puzzled, Beatrice nodded and went inside. Once Beatrice was inside, Scarlett's smile vanished. She glared at Jeff. "What do you mean by this? Isn't it enough to capture me? You had to bring my mom too?" Jeff glanced at her. "Weren't you clever when you were dealing with me? How come you're so confused now?" Scarlett still didn't understand. "Who knows what kind of evil plan you have?" She eyed Jeff warily. This man had tried to take advantage of her multiple times. Could he possibly be a good person? Jeff's previously smiling face slowly turned cold. "I see you don't recognize a good deed when you see one!"Scarlett s
