Chapter 457

ผู้เขียน: Flower Sock
Theo's expression grew serious. "Right now, you and everyone around you are in danger. Are you sure you want to keep being this stubborn?"

He was implying more than just the obvious.

Gregory wasn't stupid. He knew what Theo meant, but his face remained expressionless. "Thank you for everything. I'll have Adrian follow up on things from here. You don't need to get involved anymore."

"Gregory, do you really not understand, or are you just pretending not to?" Theo frowned deeply.

Gregory didn't reply. He just kept his head down, staring at the bracelet in his hand.

Seeing him like this made Theo's anger boil over.

"I'll make you regret the decision you just made." With that, he walked away without looking back.

Only after Theo's footsteps faded did Gregory lift his head. His gaze lingered on Anathea's ward for a long time.

To regain strength for her escape, Anathea started eating actively over the next two days and kept a regular routine. Her face, once as pale as paper, began

    "Gregory!" Before Anathea could even struggle, Gregory had already laid her down on the hospital bed. He dimmed the lights to a soft yellow, creating a perfect setting for sleep."Get some rest," he said, pulling the blanket over her.Anathea frowned, wary as she looked at him."Don't worry. I won't do anything. I'm just here to keep you company."Anathea said nothing. She was still recovering from her miscarriage. If he had any other ideas, he would be worse than a beast.Yet his gaze, soft and gentle, showed no hint of ulterior motives. It made her feel like she might have misjudged him.Still, his reputation wasn't much better than a scoundrel's in her eyes.Not wanting to engage, Anathea lay down. She needed solid rest to face tomorrow.Gregory carefully tucked in the blanket, then sat on the nearby couch. Under the warm glow of the desk lamp, he quietly flipped through some documents.True to his word, he stayed by her side without crossing any boundaries. He even turned

    This time, Gregory reached for the bowl of soup again.Before he could touch it, Anathea had already picked it up and taken a sip. Expressionless, she asked, "Happy now?""Could be better." Gregory smirked slightly as he picked some food for her. "Eat some more."Anathea glanced at him. "Gregory, do you know what you look like right now? A maidservant from ancient times."A nurse nearby bit her lip to hold back a laugh.Gregory, unfazed by her teasing, actually looked more serious. "Then you're my mistress."Anathea said nothing.She figured that with how shameless Gregory was now, if she slapped him, there was a good chance he would just grab her wrist and plant a kiss right on her palm.The thought made her shiver.So she stayed far away from him and quietly ate her food.Gregory sat opposite her, making no further moves. He just watched her eat and occasionally offered more food after she finished.As Anathea chewed, she caught him out of the corner of her eye.Though th

    "What?" Louie looked puzzled."You really think I can't tell you're mocking me?" Giselle's expression darkened.Louie drew in a breath before replying evenly, "You're the one who said that we have nothing to do with each other. We're just strangers. So why would I mock you?"Giselle was momentarily silenced by her own words being thrown back at her. She kept a straight face and said nothing.Louie glanced at her from the corner of his eye. After a beat, he offered a word of advice. "Next time you pick a boyfriend, keep your eyes open. Don't fall for scumbags again. Look at the kind of guy you ended up with."Giselle froze. She parted her lips as if to say something, but Louie had already stood up and walked off with his hands in his pockets, leaving her staring at his retreating back.She stared at him until he disappeared around the corner. When she looked away, a flicker of complex emotion passed through her gaze.A moment later, she let out a long breath. Her tone was tinged

    "If you want it cut off, keep barking like a dog," Giselle said coldly from the side.Wyatt instantly bit his lip and tried to endure it, but the moment the cutter touched the bottle, he couldn't help but let out another yelp."This isn't going to be easy." One of the other doctors frowned."If it's too much trouble, just cut it off," Giselle said lightly.Louie froze."Gigi! How can you be so heartless?" Wyatt cried out."And you weren't thinking about the consequences when you shoved it in?" Giselle shot back. "We're all adults here. What kind of situation or mood would you have to be in to try something like that? Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?""It's not like that! Let me explain." Wyatt's eyes flickered with guilt. "I-I was stuck in traffic on the way back and couldn't hold it in, so I—""The blood test showed traces of a drug that causes prolonged engorgement," Louie said suddenly.Wyatt froze.Giselle's sharp gaze snapped over to him."No, Gigi, don't list

    Dominic left Anathea's ward as the evening was settling in.At that moment, Louie and Adrian were just coming out of Gregory's ward, and the three of them happened to cross paths.Adrian greeted Dominic first. "Mr. Lancaster."Dominic nodded, then turned to Louie with a brief instruction. "Please take good care of Ms. Jacobson."Louie looked puzzled. But before he could ask more, Dominic had already strode off."Was he telling me to take care of Anathea?" Louie blinked, confused. "On what grounds is he saying that to me?"Adrian shook his head. He wasn't sure either. As far as he knew, Anathea and Dominic weren't exactly close.Now that Dominic had donated blood and successfully renewed the partnership with Sinclair Group, he had no reason to come back."That's weird," Adrian said, watching Dominic's retreating figure."Of course it's weird," Louie muttered with his arms crossed. "Anathea and Dominic barely know each other. How would they even have anything to talk about?"Su
