Charles pressed his lips together, a dark look crossing his face as he glanced at Peter. "Mind your words, Peter!"Peter raised an eyebrow and gave Charles's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Relax. Nobody's brave enough to make trouble here," he said, then looked over at Sean, who had not said a word. "Why are you just standing there?"Sean, who usually was smiling, looked serious. "Looks like someone's pushing Charles too far!" he said, hinting at something. However, Charles just gave Sean a quick look. "You're staying right here.""Hey!" Sean complained. "Why should I?""Because you're a doctor. It's your job to save lives," Charles said, then he grabbed his coat and left.Sean tried to follow, but Peter blocked him. Peter smiled slyly, his hand resting on Sean's shoulder. "He's off to find his lady. This isn't your rodeo.""You don't get it. Charles is usually so calm, but he gets all worked up around this lady. You might not have seen her, but I have a few times. She's really pret

Rowena stood like a fierce guardian in front of Noelle, not letting anyone take her friend away. Lareal raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on Rowena. He quickly recognized her. He adjusted his glasses and offered a charming smile. "She's your friend, isn't she? She looks hurt. We really should get her to a hospital, or I can't promise she'll be okay." "You..." Rowena looked at Noelle, worry etched on her face, and bit her lip. "Fine, but I'm coming too. We don't even know you guys!"Lareal quirked an eyebrow. "Sure, that can be arranged." He looked at Rowena and Teresa. "You two can follow this young lady to the doctor, okay?"With that, he gave a secret signal to the men in black. They quickly and expertly lifted Noelle and carried her away. Rowena and Teresa shared a quick glance, scooped up Noelle's dropped bag, and hurried after them.Yevgen did not want to be left out and tried to follow, but Lareal's big, tough guys blocked his way. Yevgen was frustrated and upset. "Move as

"Who could have done this to Noelle? And what's the deal with the owner of The Majestic Lounge? This isn’t looking good for her!" Teresa was beside herself with worry.Rowena felt the same way. She was just about to get up and open the door when it swung open from the outside.The man who stepped in brought a chill to the room. It was as if a storm cloud had passed overhead. Rowena gasped. "Charles?"Charles squinted and did not bother with pleasantries. He strode over to Noelle, lifted her gently, and asked, "Noelle?"Noelle was feeling terrible, her mind foggy. Through the haze, she saw Charles's stern, handsome face looking down at her, his eyes filled with tense worry. She reached out to smooth away his frown, but he caught her hand. "Noelle? Does it hurt?"She nodded. "Charles, is it really you? Did you come for me?""Yes!" Charles nodded, kissed her hand softly, and reassured her, "I'm here now. You're going to be fine."His voice was soothing. After making sure Noelle was

"Annie's brother is Cody," Rowena blurted out, a note of worry in her voice. "Just taking her away like that doesn't seem right!"Ronald gave a slight smile. "There's nothing to worry about! Ms. Scott, Ms. Saunders, thank you for handling today's situation." Ronald was unusually polite, which was a bit different from how he normally acted. He was being considerate because he knew they were Noelle's best friends."Oh, it's okay," Rowena said with a wave of her hand. "If everything's settled, can we head out?""Absolutely." Ronald grinned. "I'll have someone escort you two home!""No, that won't be necessary. We'll make our own way back!" Rowena might not always have the best temper, but she knew when to be polite. She understood that Ronald was treating them especially well because of Noelle. Plus, it was obvious Ronald had other things to take care of, so they did not want to bother him. "But could you tell us which hospital Noelle is in? We'd like to go see her.""Madam is with M

"This woman is quite a skilled actress!"Sean had been watching the whole scene unfold. With a twinkle in his charming eyes, he grinned at Ronald. "Right, Ronald?""Yes, absolutely!" Ronald replied, glancing at Sean. "How about you, Mr. Smith?""Let's just let things take their course. I was only here for a bit of excitement. It's late, and I'm heading home!" Sean dusted off his clothes as if he had played no part in the recent drama and walked away.On the other side of town, Charles carried Noelle to Sean's private hospital. The staff had been alerted to expect Charles and were waiting outside. When they saw Charles holding a woman, they rushed to greet him. "Mr. Hoffman.""Yes," Charles said as he stepped out of the car with Noelle in his arms and faced the doctor. "She's been bitten by a snake. Please check if all the venom's been removed!"Hearing that, the doctor quickly examined Noelle's wound. "Mr. Hoffman, please lay her down so we can take a closer look!"Noelle's leg
