Chapter 105

Penulis: Lilian Green
She truly hadn’t expected Keith to show up at her door, leaving her a little flustered.

He handed her the thermal flask. “I asked someone to make oatmeal for you. Eat before heading to work.”

He glanced at her pajamas—her hair was a mess, clearly just out of bed.

The loose pajamas she wore had a few buttons undone at the collar, and from his angle, there was an unintentional beauty in the contrast between innocence and allure.

His throat bobbed as he coughed lightly and reminded her, “Don’t open the door like this next time.”

Autumn took the flask, glanced down at her sleepwear, and awkwardly tugged it up a bit.

Setting the flask aside, she quickly reached up to button her top properly.

Once she’d tidied herself, she thanked him, “Thanks, Senior. Sorry you had to bring it over. Really appreciate it.”

Being seen like this—hair messy and collar undone—by Keith of all people… the embarrassment was unbearable.

If there had been a hole in the ground, she would’ve jumped in without hesitatio

    Seeing the startled look on her face, Keith actually took the time to explain. "You looked so weak I thought you could use a shoulder to lean on. Don’t read too much into it."Even so, his careful gesture had still startled her. He was pushing too fast.She pressed her lips into a faint smile. "I wasn’t overthinking it. Thanks for the offer, Keith, but I’m fine now."She really hadn’t thought anything of it—she simply resisted physical contact these days, probably because she was still in a guarded state.Keith handed her the oatmeal he’d brought earlier. "You didn’t have breakfast this morning. You must be hungry by now. Have some to warm your stomach."She accepted it, thanked him, and ate slowly, forcing it down despite the lingering discomfort.The test results came out half an hour later. When she handed the report to Peter, he frowned immediately.As the saying went—if a doctor could still smile, it wasn’t too bad. But a frown meant trouble, and a sigh meant worse.Seeing that de

    That was thoughtful of him.It would be a lie to say she wasn’t touched."Thanks, Senior." Autumn carefully slipped the lollipop into her pocket.Just then, Peter came over in his white coat. Seeing how close they were sitting, he teased, "I knew you two had a story, and you still denied it."You young people really know how to keep a relationship under wraps. Don’t tell a soul, huh?"At his words, Autumn instinctively pulled her hand back and looked up at him. "Dr. Mills, you’ve got it wrong. Keith and I aren’t…"She hadn’t even gotten the words "dating" out before Peter cut her off. "I know, I know. You want to say you’re not together, right?"Fine, I’ll keep your secret. I promise no one else will hear it from me."Autumn’s small face flushed crimson. Did he actually think she was trying to hide something?She shot Keith a pleading glance, hoping he would explain. But…Keith only smiled and said, "Dr, you’re so busy, and yet you came all the way here. I feel bad for troubling you

    The one who spoke was Jasmine’s mother, who had kept quiet until now. Maybe it was guilt, but even her voice lacked conviction.Clearly, Jasmine hadn’t taken after her mother’s timid, evasive nature. She must have inherited her father’s—rotten to the core, shameless to the point of not knowing what shame was.With that thought, Autumn’s lips curved into a cold smirk. "You know exactly what you’ve done. Justice lives in people’s hearts. I may not have proof now, but that doesn’t mean I never will."And let me make one thing clear—my ties with the Lewis family are gone. Without them, I’ll only get better and better."With that, she didn’t bother to check Jasmine’s reaction and turned to leave.Jasmine ground her teeth in fury. "Autumn, just you wait—I won’t let you have it easy."It was peak morning hours at the hospital, and a crowd had gathered by the elevators. People were growing impatient at Jasmine blocking the doorway without moving."Miss, there are plenty of people waiting f

    Keith was clearly asking that on purpose. It was just too much."Mr. Sinclair, it’s late. If there’s nothing else, you should get some rest. I just left the office, so I’ll head back now. See you tomorrow."After hanging up, Keith pushed the door open and got out of the car. The gloom from earlier vanished, and his mood instantly lifted.The next morning, Autumn didn’t wake until seven-thirty. The first thing she saw was a message from Keith.“Remember not to have breakfast today. Otherwise, the check-up will make your stomach uncomfortable. Head over first; I’ll be at the hospital before nine.”Reading it, Autumn felt a warm glow in her chest. It was nice to be thought of.But a second later, she reminded herself not to rely too much on anyone.Otherwise, the ending could be even worse than now.If she went through something like this again, she’d lose what little she had left to love.She had to keep reminding herself to stay clear-headed, never again becoming that lovesick fool.Wh

    Lost in her thoughts, Autumn heard Keith’s voice above her. "Her grandfather once did mine a favor, but there’s never been an engagement between us. That rumor only started after my grandfather passed away."That year, the Whites faced a major project crisis, so they floated the idea of a business alliance through marriage with my family. “Out of respect for my grandfather, we didn’t step in to deny it."They benefited from that silence, which is why they dared to pull the same stunt now, but I’m done indulging them."Most of all, Vivian had the nerve to confront Autumn directly. That was something he could never tolerate.The girl he went out of his way to protect—how could he stand by and let someone else push her around?If he didn’t push back, people would start forgetting their place, thinking they had the right to dictate to the Sinclair family.Waving borrowed authority like it was their own was utterly delusional.Autumn listened quietly, and for reasons she couldn’t quite e

    No wonder Keith was furious.Autumn had no desire to get tangled up in their mess—feuds in families like theirs were far too complicated.Vivian suddenly jabbed a finger toward her, turning on Keith. "Keith, is this why you’re being so heartless with me? Because of her?"Autumn froze, her scalp prickling. How on earth had she been dragged into this?Keith didn’t answer, but she could feel the air around them shift, the atmosphere pressing down hard.Great. The boss looked angry. Now what?Vivian laughed suddenly, tears spilling down her cheeks. "I knew it. There’s no way you’d do all that for her if you were just neighbors."But Keith, don’t forget—she’s a divorced woman. Do you really think the Sinclair family would accept her?"At that, Keith finally lifted his gaze to her, his eyes sharp as a blade. "Stay out of what doesn’t concern you. If you don’t want the White family going bankrupt, keep your mouth shut."He hadn’t confirmed or denied anything, but it was enough to leave Autu
