CHAPTER 171
Liana glanced at his head. With the bandage covering it, she couldn’t tell where the injury was or how bad it might be. Her eyes lingered on him with a long, suspicious stare. Sean wasn’t the type to trip and hurt himself, she knew him too well.“I don’t believe you,” she muttered softly. “You’re not someone who would fall and get injured like this. You’re hiding something.”Sean stayed quiet for a moment, lips pressing together. He knew she wouldn’t believe the excuse, but he had a reason for saying it. If he told her the truth, she would only worry more.Her sigh broke the silence. Though her gaze remained sharp, she slowly shifted it toward the bag he had set down.“Fine… I’ll let it go this time. Now, where’s my food?”Sean gave a small smile of relief and pulled the containers from the bag, setting them carefully on the table beside her bed.“Eat before it gets cold.”Liana’s expression softened as she adjusted herself on the bed. She picked up the spoon, and Sean sat nearby, wat
CHAPTER 170
Liana’s eyes stayed fixed on the bandage wrapped around Sean’s head. She barely registered his words about the food. Her lips trembled as she pointed.“Sean… what happened to you? Where did you get that injury? How?”Sean paused, rubbing the side of his head near the bandage, as if trying to recall something. His expression shifted slightly—thoughtful, almost distant. He had tried to let his hair fall over the bandage, but it hadn’t worked. The wrapping stuck out clearly, impossible to hide.Still, it was better for her to see the bandage than the wound itself. Blood would have been far worse.Even the nurse in the room looked startled, worry flickering across her face. After all, Sean wasn’t the type to show up at a hospital with an injury. He’d rather wait until he was healed before ever seeking help.“This?” he said lightly. “It’s nothing. Just a small accident…” But he didn’t finish. His hand lingered over the bandage, his gaze dropping as though sifting through a memory.And just
CHAPTER 169
For a moment, silence filled the air. Sean held the bag properly, his gaze fixed on the car blocking his path. The car was all black, a sleek luxury model. Sean didn’t recognize it. And if it belonged to someone he knew, they wouldn’t approach him like this—cornering him in the middle of the road. They’d meet him somewhere, not here.Now, he was sure. Whoever was inside wasn’t a friend. They’d come to cause trouble.“Sir?” The driver’s voice broke the quiet, cautious yet urgent. “What do you want me to do? Did they come for you? Should I try to flee, or… speak to them?”Sean didn’t take his eyes off the black car. He adjusted his grip on the bag, then turned and handed it to the driver.“Wait here. Take this,” he said firmly. “Be careful with it.”The driver blinked, staring at the bag before raising his head toward Sean, confusion flashing in his eyes.“You’re still worried about the bag at a time like this?”Sean’s expression didn’t change. He simply held the bag out. The driver met
CHAPTER 168
“Do you want some pasta with it, Liana?” Sean’s voice rang out in the air.He balanced the phone between his shoulder and ear, tilting his head slightly as he scrubbed the tomatoes under the running water. The faucet gurgled softly, water splashing against the bright red fruit. His hands worked automatically, rolling each tomato in his palms until it shone, the smooth skin glistening in the sunlight that streamed through the tall windows.The kitchen was enormous, a perfect blend of modern luxury and practical design. White marble countertops stretched across the space, interrupted by a gleaming stainless steel sink. The center island was massive, polished to perfection, with bowls of fresh herbs and fruits arranged like a chef’s display. Copper pots hung neatly above the stovetop, catching the light, while sleek cabinets promised hidden treasures inside.It was morning, and he had begun to make breakfast. “Yes.” A soft voice answered from the phone. “Are you making it the way I lik
CHAPTER 167
Nate frowned. Though he had mentioned to his brother that he wanted to deal with Sean, he had no idea why Felix was making it so obvious that he didn’t like the idea. It wasn’t as if Nate had a choice.This was something he had to do—after all, Sean had dared to humiliate him like that.However, this time, he wouldn’t be going with the men he was planning to send. If Sean managed to beat them up, Nate couldn’t risk it. Sean might have let him go this time, but there was no guarantee he would be so generous again.Nate thought hard. If he didn’t say something convincing, Felix would never approve sending the men. He needed a reason so urgent, so undeniable, that his brother couldn’t argue.He leaned closer, lowering his voic
CHAPTER 166
Sitting on the hospital bed, legs dangling over the side, a frown crossed Nate’s face as he stared at the plate of food before him. He hadn’t touched it in the past hour, lacking any appetite.The food was getting cold, steam fading into the air, but he couldn’t bring himself to eat. His mind kept returning to the thought that he might have died back there—that everything could have ended in an instant.The hospital door swung open, and Nate’s head lifted instinctively. A man entered, carrying another tray of food. His gaze immediately fell on Nate, sharp and assessing.“Why aren’t you eating?” the man asked, his tone hard, almost accusatory.It was Felix—Nate’s elder brother—called in after the doctor contacted him. Since arriving, Felix had noticed that Nate hadn’t said a word about what happened. The doctor had claimed it was an accident, and Nate had refused to elaborate. Now, Felix was certain it wasn’t just an accident; something had happened before it.Nate looked down, finger
