He smiled. The rare sight of his uncertainty made Evelyn's heart beat faster.

“You don't have to answer today.”

As he spoke, he took out a small box. Instead of answering, Evelyn pressed her lips together. If she smiled with happiness, it might look as though she had already answered. If she didn't, he might grow more anxious.

“Dane.”

She said his name. It sounded different from when she called him in the cons

    He smiled. The rare sight of his uncertainty made Evelyn's heart beat faster.“You don't have to answer today.”As he spoke, he took out a small box. Instead of answering, Evelyn pressed her lips together. If she smiled with happiness, it might look as though she had already answered. If she didn't, he might grow more anxious.“Dane.”She said his name. It sounded different from when she called him in the consulting room. Before opening the box, he looked at her.At dusk, the sunset glowed against the greenhouse windows. Dane lowered himself onto one knee before Evelyn.The red velvet box opened. A blue sapphire rested at the center of a platinum ring. As Evelyn shifted slightly, the light in the stone changed too. Holding the box, Dane waited for her to lift her eyes from the ring.“Evelyn Hart.”His low, intimate vo

  • The Mafia Boss’s Captive Doctor   Chapter 69. Words That Won't Go as Rehearsed

    A month later, Leo no longer touched the tape on his forehead.The medical staff had checked the wound at his follow-up, and the adults caring for him would continue monitoring how he did. Some days, he spoke about the fire. On others, he played as though nothing had happened. Evelyn didn't judge either kind of day as better behavior.The island was usable again after inspections of the warehouse and electrical facilities were complete. The unfamiliar workboat's entry and the fire were still under investigation. One person involved had been identified at a port, but who had ordered it remained in dispute.Dane canceled his plan to lock down the entire main building. He strengthened the necessary entry checks while distinguishing routes people could use from routes they would need in an emergency. The security arrangements he preferred weren't the same as a home a family could live in.For the time be

  • The Mafia Boss’s Captive Doctor   Chapter 68. A Home Within a Child's Reach

    The next morning, Elio said he wanted to take leave.Dane asked how long he needed to rest. Elio said he hadn't decided yet.“I need to go home and sort through my older brother's things too.”It was something he had put off since his brother's death. Evelyn remembered the old handcart she had seen in the greenhouse. She had thought of it only as something repaired for the child, but Elio had other memories attached to it too.“Leo will look for you.”Elio took hold of the door handle. Thinking he was about to leave, Dane called his name. Without opening the door, Elio looked back.“I chose a time when Leo was asleep to come and tell you even now.”Dane's gaze stayed on the handle.“Take the leave. I'll explain to him.”Elio bowed his head. Even after thanking him, he didn't release the handle. Si

    When they switched their phones on after the plane landed, several messages arrived.Leo had been examined and given instructions for further observation and a follow-up visit. There was no news of a serious injury. Elio's hand wound had been treated, and for the time being, he needed to avoid work that got it wet or involved lifting heavy objects.The fire on the island had burned part of the warehouse. How the work vehicle had gained entry and the cause of the fire were under investigation. Everyone had already moved to accommodation on the mainland.Reading the messages, Evelyn opened a photo of Leo sent from the hospital. The boy sat beside the nurse, holding bread. The gauze was still there, but his eyes were turned away from the screen. One photo couldn't tell her everything was all right. Even so, the fact that he was hungry and eating something made her feel she might cry.Dane looked at the

    “You must've been so frightened.”“What about Teddy?”The child asked about his toy at once. Evelyn realized he hadn't brought it out. She couldn't tell Marco to fetch it now.“We haven't been able to check yet. First, you and the people who are hurt need to go to the hospital. Once it's safe, we'll look for him.”Leo's face crumpled.“Mom gave him to me.”“I know.”At that, the child began to cry. Evelyn didn't tell him not to. She didn't order him to keep holding the phone either. When he turned his face away, she asked the nurse to stay beside him.From beyond the phone, she heard Elio's voice.“Want to sit next to me?”Leo didn't answer. A moment later, the screen tilted down, revealing Elio's wrapped hand. He was adjusting the boy's cap with his uninjured hand.&nb

  • The Mafia Boss’s Captive Doctor   Chapter 65. Our House Is on Fire

    There were many blanks in Professor Hale's answers. Copying down only the dates he was certain of, Evelyn stopped her pen. When she wrote the questions she needed to ask again, they took up more lines than the answers. After adding a question mark to the last one, she couldn't send them for a long time.There was still no answer about the cause of her mother's death. The pathology records were undergoing further checks, and what could be determined might depend on the condition of the old materials. Thinking of her mother still unsettled her.Evelyn closed the documents and folded the laundry.She could have used a hotel's laundry service, but she had washed a few light garments herself. While her hands were moving, she didn't have to read the same sentence again. Each time she straightened a damp sleeve and hung it up, she felt she was putting a little more of the day in order.One button on Dane's
