Chapter 17

Author: Mountainless Clouds
Jonathan froze for a moment, then awkwardly hummed in acknowledgment and set Kylie down.

Kylie's cheeks were flushed, and she said, "It's really fine, Mr. Sinclair. I've already applied the medicine. There's no need for a trip to the hospital."

Jonathan glanced at her sideways, his tone cold as he replied, "You're sure the over-the-counter medicine you bought can actually heal that?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Sinclair, it's a professional burn ointment. Even if we went to the hospital, they'd probably just use the same stuff."

Her words hit a nerve with Jonathan, as though she were suggesting that he, a capable CEO, had no idea about basic medical care. He opened his mouth to say something more, but was interrupted when Kylie's phone rang.

The screen clearly displayed the name "Nathan Kingsley".

Kylie glanced at the screen before turning to Jonathan. "Excuse me, sir. I just need to take this call."

Jonathan's mouth was still half-open, but he shot back sharply, "I haven't finished spea

  • Her Heart’s Not Yours Anymore   Chapter 43

    Two years later, Kylie was in Altheria.The miracle that was supposed to happen, like in novels, didn’t. Kevin hadn’t woken up, but there was progress. His brainwaves were beginning to show signs of activity, and his fingers moved more frequently now. All of these small changes meant there was still hope.Two years ago, Kylie had applied for the international student program at Altheria University, and she was now juggling both work and school.Nathan’s medical aid work had temporarily come to a pause. He had applied to Altheria to continue his studies as well.-Kylie and Nathan walked side by side through the small hospital garden. The sun shone brightly, and the breeze was gentle.“When are you leaving?” Kylie asked, breaking the peaceful silence.“I’m heading back the day after tomorrow,” Nathan replied.“That soon?” Kylie was surprised. She thought he would stay at least a month.Nathan laughed and shook his head. “It’s a short-term program. Time goes by fast.”“Don’t

    There was silence on the other end of the line for a long while. Jonathan's voice broke the quiet. "If there's nothing else, don't call again."He hung up and turned the phone off, his expression neutral as he squeezed Kylie's hand. But there were tears in his eyes, tears he could no longer hide.Perhaps it was exhaustion that overcame him. Holding Kylie's hand, Jonathan laid his head down beside her bed and fell into a heavy sleep.Suddenly, he felt a slight movement from Kylie's hand. He shot awake in an instant.Kylie's eyelids fluttered, her brows knitted tightly together. It was as if she were struggling with something in her dreams.When Kylie finally woke up, she felt a heavy weight all over her body, unable to move. She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, unable to remember what had happened."Kylie… Kylie!" Jonathan's voice was filled with emotion.Kylie blinked, confusion clouding her mind. The man before her looked both familiar and strange. She felt she h

    Jonathan raised an eyebrow and coldly said, "Kill me? First, you'll have to make it out of here alive."Silas pulled a knife from behind him and handed it to Jonathan. Jonathan took the blade, his gaze dark and unwavering."Jonathan, you're crazy! You've gone mad! You can't do this!" Zoey screamed, her voice trembling.Jonathan walked toward her, his steps slow and deliberate. He stood before her and asked, "Tell me, if you die here, will your family even know?"His eyes were unyielding, and Zoey felt a chill run down her spine. She recoiled, fear seizing her. "N-No... Jonathan, you can't kill me. I saved your life once. You owe me! You can't do this!"Jonathan paused for a brief moment. His mind flashed back to his childhood, when he had been vacationing by the seaside with his parents and nearly drowned. Zoey's family had been there too. Zoey had noticed something was wrong and alerted the adults, ultimately saving him.Jonathan let out a bitter laugh, his expression turning ev

    In the upscale beauty salon in the city center, Zoey had just finished a relaxing spa treatment and was feeling refreshed.As she walked toward the parking garage to get her car, she was suddenly yanked from behind. Before she could react, a hand covered her mouth to muffle her startled scream.She was dragged into a car and taken to a dark, damp room. With a harsh shove, she was thrown onto the floor.Zoey's voice trembled with fear as she shouted, "Do you know who I am? Are you trying to get yourselves killed?"A group of burly men stood idly in the room, their arms crossed. At the sound of her shouting, the leader of the group, Silas Yates, impatiently waved his hand and said, "Shut up, you stupid woman."The man's eyes raked over Zoey, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. Zoey immediately realized his intentions. She scrambled to the corner, her voice rising in panic. "What do you want with me? Are you looking to die?"Silas chuckled darkly, taking a slow step toward

    The man in the suit kept glancing at Kylie through the rearview mirror.Kylie felt something was wrong. She reached for the door handle, but it was locked tight.The man licked his lips and said, "Thinking of jumping out? Don't bother. You're gonna have some fun with me and my friends first. I'll make sure you'll enjoy it."His phone rang, and he answered it, speaking to the person on the other end. "We'll be there soon. She's well-endowed and has fair skin—the guys will have a blast."Fear shot through Kylie, but she forced herself to stay calm.She waited for the right moment, and when the man wasn't paying attention, she swung her bag at his head with all her strength.The man didn't see it coming. With a sudden jolt, the car swerved off course. The tires screeched, and the car crashed down the mountain road in a blur of screeching metal.Kylie's world went black.When she woke up, her head throbbed painfully, and a loud ringing filled her ears. The man in the suit was groan

    The next morning, Kylie was jolted awake by Nathan's international call."Kylie! The people from the Altheria medical funding program have responded. The application has been approved!" Nathan's voice was brimming with excitement.Kylie understood immediately. This was Jonathan fulfilling his promise. She forced a smile and replied, "Really? That's amazing!""The Global Care Initiative has been postponed, so I might not be able to come back. But they've asked me to go to Altheria next week for an international exchange program. I'll be there for two weeks, and I can help with your brother's treatment while I'm there. It's such perfect timing. Everything is falling into place."Nathan was practically glowing with joy, but Kylie's heart suddenly tightened.She knew better. None of this was a coincidence. This was Jonathan's careful planning.Nathan went on to explain a series of steps and procedures, and Kylie listened in silence, her mind elsewhere.After hanging up, Kylie sa
