Adrian was sitting on the edge of his bed, staring at his bandaged hands with an irritated expression.

It had been several days since he injured himself. Although the wounds were gradually healing, the doctor had strictly forbidden him from doing anything that might strain his hands.

Unfortunately, Adrian was never someone who enjoyed depending on other people.

He reached for the glass of water on his bedside table, but his injured hands made it difficult to hold properly.

The glass slipped.

    Julian was in his office when his phone rang.He glanced at the screen before answering."Did you send it?"A man on the other end replied, "Yes, sir. The message was delivered."Julian leaned back in his chair."And?""We haven't received any response."Julian smiled faintly."That's fine. He doesn't have to reply."He ended the call and placed his phone on the desk.A photograph was displayed on his computer screen. It showed Adrian standing between his parents on his birthday. The three of them looked happy.Julian stared at it for a moment before laughing quietly."Still pretending to be happy, cousin?"He closed the picture.Adrian had always been the center of attention. Even after their parents died, Charles continued protecting him. The company remained under his name, and everyone kept waiting for him to recover.Julian was tired of it.He had spent years watching Adrian receive everything while he had to fight for every little thing.And now, Adrian was barely able to leave

    The sound of a car engine stopped outside the residence.Mr. Cole stood near the entrance, looking at the man who had just stepped out of the vehicle. He immediately straightened his posture."Good afternoon, Mr. Charles."Charles nodded. "Where is Adrian?""In his study, sir.""Has he been behaving himself?"Mr. Cole hesitated for a moment."Better than before, I suppose."Charles raised an eyebrow. "That doesn't sound very reassuring."Mr. Cole gave a small smile. "He has been eating more regularly. He also spends some time reading company reports. Miss Eliana has been helping him.""Eliana?""Yes, sir. She's the young woman you met during your last visit."Charles remembered her. The talkative girl who wasn't afraid to speak her mind, even when Adrian looked ready to throw something at her."Good. I hope she continues doing her job."He walked toward the staircase.Adrian was sitting behind his desk when Charles entered.Several documents were scattered across the table. A laptop s

    "Are you sure you want to bring that to him?" Eliana turned toward the kitchen assistant standing beside her. "Why?" The woman glanced toward the tray Eliana was holding. It contained a glass of milk, some biscuits, and a small bowl of chocolate pudding. "Young Master Adrian doesn't usually eat snacks between meals." Eliana shrugged. "That's fine. He can eat them whenever he wants." The woman hesitated before lowering her voice. "Besides, you should be careful around him. I heard he once attacked one of the nurses who tried to take care of him." Eliana paused. She had already experienced something far worse than that. "He hasn't attacked me recently." The kitchen assistant looked at her in disbelief. "Recently?" Eliana chuckled. "Anyway, I should go. Thank you!" She picked up the tray and left the kitchen. As she walked through the hallway, she couldn't help remembering how Adrian had requested another bowl of chocolate pudding the previous evening. She had been quite

    Adrian threw the document onto the table with an irritated expression.He had been trying to read through several business reports Charles had sent him. However, his injured hands made it difficult to hold the papers properly. Even turning a page had become an annoying task.He leaned back against the sofa and closed his eyes.He hated this.He hated being unable to do something as simple as holding a pen or picking up a glass of water.A knock interrupted his thoughts."Come in."Mr. Cole entered the room carrying a small tray."Young Master, your grandfather asked me to deliver these documents. He also wanted to know whether you would be willing to attend the upcoming family meeting."Adrian glanced at the papers."Tell him I'm not interested.""Young Master, your grandfather believes it would be better if you started involving yourself in the company again."Adrian let out a cold laugh."Then tell him to find someone else."Mr. Cole fell silent.He knew better than to argue wheneve

However, her smile disappeared when she noticed the broken glass."What happened?""Nothing."Eliana looked at the floor, then at Adrian's bandaged hands."Did you try to pick it up yourself?"Adrian didn't answer.Eliana let out a long sigh."Adrian

    Adrian, who had collapsed earlier, slowly opened his eyes.A stinging pain shot through both of his hands as soon as he regained consciousness. Once his vision had fully adjusted, he noticed Eliana sitting beside his bed, fast asleep.Adrian fell silent.He remembered what had happened the previous night. He could clearly recall the girl screaming and shedding countless tears when she saw the state he was in.Why?Why was she still by his side?No one had ever stayed long enough to take care of him. They could barely last a day or two before eventually distancing themselves.But Eliana?She had been by his side for almost two weeks now. Even after everything he had done the night before, she had still come back to him.Adrian recalled the frightened look in Eliana's eyes.
