All Chapters of Silent Devotion: The Billionaire's Patient Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Seeing her take out a tourniquet, the man sat down.She unwrapped the silk scarf from her bag, secured it above his wound, then added the tourniquet with a slip knot, using a pen to tighten it.With practiced ease, Kaylee pressed her fingers against his brachial artery. "If you can't reach a hospital, loosen the pen every forty minutes for five minutes, then tighten it again."Only then did she notice his unbuttoned shirt. In the dim light, his muscled physique was clearly defined, his chest rising with each heavy breath. A harsh scar ran from his shoulder to his back - an old wound that would never fade. Another lighter scar marked his abdomen.Before she could look away, he stood and pulled his clothes together, fastening just two buttons with his bloodied hand. Then he grabbed her wrist as she reached for her bag."What are you doing?"Kaylee looked up into his dark eyes and felt something cool drop into her palm.His calloused fingers closed around hers as he said hoarsely,

That morning, Kaylee was working at the outpatient clinic.Honor Medical Center, being private, charged significantly higher fees than public hospitals, which meant fewer patients.Only a year out of med school and working as a general physician, Kaylee's patient load was light. This morning, she had just four appointments.After her last patient left, she was heading back to the ward when she overheard a conversation."It's just stomach issues. Write me a prescription - I have a meeting," a middle-aged woman snapped at her assistant from a bench in the lobby."But what about the chest pains you mentioned?" the assistant hesitated.The woman waved dismissively. "That's an old problem. It's just acting up more lately. Forget about it."Kaylee, almost out of the lobby, turned back."Hi, I'm Dr. Lawson from Cardiology," she introduced herself. "Your symptoms could indicate viral myocarditis. We should do a blood test to check your cardiac enzymes."The woman, in an expensive busi

On their way to the parking lot, Kaylee walked silently beside William.As an upscale private hospital, Honor Medical Center catered to wealthy members, its parking lot filled with luxury vehicles.Even among these, William's Bentley stood out.A chauffeur sat in front.Kaylee instinctively reached for the door handle.Before she could touch it, William's elegant hand caught her wrist."I don't let ladies serve me," he said, opening the door himself and gesturing for her to enter."Sorry," Kaylee quickly slipped in.These years with Alex had trained her to do everything herself.Once seated, she immediately pulled out a small velvet pouch from her bag and handed it to William beside her."What's this?"William took the pouch and pulled out a small white cloth. Unfolding it revealed his cufflink, perfectly preserved."My friend said the stone was valuable," Kaylee explained. "I wrapped it carefully to prevent damage."William rewrapped the cufflink. "I don't have your scarf

In a panic, Kaylee snatched up the phone, hung up, and blocked the number.All in one fluid motion.When it was done, she realized her hands were still shaking."Kay-Kay" was her childhood name.The last person to call her that was her mother, when she was still alive.Her mother had loved using that name.Truth was, Kaylee's memories of her mother were fading.She only remembered her as a kind, optimistic person.From her earliest memories, her father had been a drunk and gambler who often beat her mother.Later, her mother brought her to the city for work, landing at the Morgans'.Every night, her mother would come to her room to tuck her in, holding her close, saying:"Kay-Kay is such a good girl.""Kay-Kay must grow up strong and healthy.""Kay-Kay, time for sleep..."After her mother's death, no one ever called her Kay-Kay again.And that voice on the phone - though she barely remembered it - she knew it was her father, Kelvin Green.Her mother had died protecting Sus

Kaylee's heart tightened.The Morgans had given her the same education as Alex.All these years, Alex kept telling her to be grateful to his family, grateful to him.She'd accepted this.This was the first time someone had said "whatever the family did for her was the least they could do."The first time someone suggested it wasn't her who owed the Morgans - they owed her.Lucy reacted first, repeating her invitation. "I'm so sorry about earlier. Kaylee, please join us for dinner. We're practically family now."Her voice remained sweet and innocent."Kaylee's worked all day, let her go," Alex interjected.Kaylee found this laughable.Now he remembered she'd worked all day? Where was this consideration when he ordered her to bring his clothes?After a long day, she really had no interest in this dinner.But since Alex didn't want her there, she absolutely had to stay."I need dinner anyway, so I'll join you," Kaylee smiled at Lucy.Alex frowned.His uncle had suggested th
