After the meal, Charles Bishop waved a hand at Chloe Bishop. "Chloe, I have a few words to say to Xavier Grayson. Go upstairs.""Oh!"Chloe Bishop looked at Xavier Grayson, and he gave her a slight nod.After getting to know him better over that meal, she already understood that Charles Bishop and Shawn were no match for Xavier Grayson. She wasn't as worried as before.Once Chloe Bishop had gone upstairs, Xavier Grayson rolled up his sleeves and began brewing tea.Charles Bishop stared at the shocking wounds on Xavier Grayson's arms. The harsh words he'd been about to say all died in his throat. "What happened to your arms?"Xavier Grayson glanced down at them, pulled his sleeve back down, and explained calmly, "Snake bites."Charles Bishop's face darkened. "That many snakes?"Pull them down all you want—you only rolled them up to show me on purpose, didn't you?"That place was damp—a swampy marshland. It bred a lot of snakes."Xavier Grayson brushed over it lightly, then placed the f

Shawn: "...You just said there was no rush?"Xavier Grayson smoothly replied, "Simon has a peculiar temperament. We need to get there ahead of time."Hearing that, Shawn quickly set down his teacup. "You're right. We absolutely cannot keep Simon waiting. What if he turns around and leaves? We'd have made the trip for nothing."By the time Chloe Bishop came back downstairs, she had changed into a different outfit—a V-neck dress paired with a long trench coat. The coat had a strong, flowing drape that looked both elegant and refined.Seeing his daughter so carefully dressed up, Charles Bishop's face turned sour and dark. He felt as though his precious little girl had already grown wings and was about to fly off to someone else's home.The Martin ResidenceLiam Martin had received Chloe Bishop's call and knew she was bringing a doctor over. He'd specially taken out the clothes she'd bought for him before and changed into them, then stood in front of the mirror to check his reflection.Lo

"Thank you, Liam. Don't worry—I'll be really, really good."Sara Jay smiled with feigned innocence and scampered back to the room she'd stayed in before. The moment the door clicked shut, her entire face darkened.Miss Bishop?Chloe Bishop?That woman was already divorced, and Liam Martin still couldn't let her go.She had taken a fatal blow for him with her own body back then. She had suffered so much for him over all these years. And now he couldn't even see her.Outside the Martin ResidenceChloe Bishop sat in the car, her gaze drifting to the familiar streets outside the window. She couldn't help but think back to three and a half months ago—the last time she'd driven here.Back then, Liam Martin was taking Sara Jay abroad. She'd begged him not to go, but he'd only said, "Chloe, let's part on good terms. Don't make this harder for either of us."She hadn't set foot here since.When she left, she'd thrown the custom prosthetic leg she'd ordered for him into the trash. At the time,

"Alright."Liam forced a faint smile, exchanged greetings with Shawn, then straightened his back, turned his wheelchair around, and guided it forward.No one could understand what Liam was feeling at that moment. The shirt he wore seemed to mock him. Xavier Grayson's height mocked him. And Chloe Bishop's gaze—it was as if it carried nothing but pity.No one knew just how much strength it took for Liam to maintain this veneer of calm.His fingers gripped the wheelchair tightly, veins bulging on the backs of his hands."Liam, the doctor I'm bringing this time is called Simon. He was famous in the world of traditional American medicine—people called him the Medical Devotee. His acupuncture skills are unparalleled. He can't raise the dead, but he comes close to performing miracles."Chloe Bishop didn't offer to push his wheelchair. She knew he wouldn't want that. What he needed was never pity—that would only remind him of his own helplessness.Her tone was casual—neither overly eager nor

"Mr. Martin, Dr. Pegg is here."A security guard walked in from outside, but Liam didn't react at all.Watching Liam's dazed, listless expression, Xavier Grayson was in an excellent mood. He was more than satisfied with Chloe Bishop's earlier response. He turned to the guard and said, "Quick, invite Dr. Pegg in."The guard, facing Xavier Grayson's commanding presence, didn't dare meet his eyes—let alone question his orders. He immediately replied, "Yes, sir."Soon, Chloe Bishop saw an elderly couple in their sixties or seventies walk in. Their clothes were simple and plain, their faces lined with wrinkles, their skin somewhat tanned.The woman had a slender frame. Though aged, her bone structure remained elegant, hinting at the beauty she must have been in her youth—likely a great looker in her day.As for Simon, he had a graying goatee and white eyebrows. He was of short stature, slightly plump, and though his face was covered in wrinkles, his complexion was rosy, and his shrewd eyes

Even Liam Martin, as composed as he usually was, couldn't help but blush at that."What's a grown man getting all red-faced for?"Simon stopped teasing him and stood up. "Forget it. Let's go to your room instead."Hearing that, Shawn immediately stepped forward. "Simon, let me assist you."With that, he carefully took the bundle of needles from Simon's hand and cradled it in his palms as if it were a treasure.Simon could easily see through Shawn's little scheme.He shot Shawn a glance, then turned Liam Martin's wheelchair around and steered him into the guest room Liam Martin had indicated.At first, Liam Martin felt nothing as Simon began inserting the needles. But as more and more needles went into his legs, a sharp pain began to radiate from the soles of his feet.Liam Martin let out a sharp hiss, then stared at Simon in disbelief. "I... I can feel pain."Simon gave him a bland look, as if to say don't make such a fuss. "There's plenty more pain coming your way. Bear with it."Wit

Shawn glanced toward the door and lowered his voice. "That's my not-yet-official grandson-in-law."Not-yet-official grandson-in-law?The way he put it, it almost sounded like Xavier Grayson was going to be the one marrying into the family.But knowing Xavier Grayson's true standing and power, Simon figured Shawn was just getting some verbal satisfaction. "Your granddaughter has good taste."Shawn bristled at that. "What do you mean my granddaughter has good taste? Let me tell you—the men chasing after my granddaughter could line up all the way from the west side of the city to the east. You should be saying Xavier Grayson has good taste."Simon deflected lightly, "With Xavier Grayson's looks and power, the women chasing after him could line up from west to east too."Shawn was momentarily struck speechless. "You've got a point. Maybe I should have my Chloe think twice—after all, there are too many temptations around Xavier Grayson."Simon shot back in annoyance, "Saying that is outrig

With that, Shawn got into the car with a dark look on his face.After the Rolls-Royce drove off, Simon gave Chloe Bishop an appraising once-over, then patted Xavier Grayson on the shoulder. "You two lovebirds go have fun. We don't need you to see us off."Mrs. Pegg waved at Chloe Bishop and got into the car ahead with her husband. Xavier Grayson instructed his bodyguards to keep them safe."Mrs. Pegg seems to really like you."Once they were in the car, Xavier Grayson took Chloe Bishop's hand and played with it in his palm, as if it were his favorite toy—completely unwilling to let go.Chloe Bishop tried several times to pull her hand back, but failed, so she let him have his way. "Maybe it's because I've got that kind of face—appeals to everyone, young and old."She curled her lips and gave him a playful wink with her pretty almond-shaped eyes. "So, Mr. Grayson, you'd better keep up the good work!"Xavier Grayson let out a low laugh, ran his tongue along the inside of his cheek, and

"Wake up, sleepyhead."Chloe Bishop saw that Xavier Grayson didn't move at all—he seemed to be sound asleep. The theater was nearly empty now, with only the two of them left. If they didn't leave soon, the staff would come to clear the place out."Xavier Grayson?"Still no response.Chloe Bishop frowned and reached out to feel his forehead.His temperature was normal—but she caught a flicker of movement beneath his eyelids.Was he... pretending to be asleep?So she reached down and gently tickled his abdomen.The very next second, Xavier Grayson grabbed her waist and captured her lips in a possessive kiss—the very lips he'd been craving all night.In a luxurious penthouse apartment somewhere in the city, Seth Rollins stood in the darkness, staring at the photos his men had sent him. His eyes were icy cold.He raised the cigarette between his fingers to his lips and took a long, deep drag.The thin veil of smoke did nothing to hide the cold-blooded ruthlessness in his gaze.After a lon

Xavier picked up the clothes that Nanny had sent over and headed toward her bathroom, tossing back a cool remark, "Borrowing your bathroom."Chloe Bishop was about to explode. Her lips—the ones he'd kissed—were starting to throb again.No. She had to set some ground rules. There was no way she was letting him stay the night tonight.When Xavier Grayson came out of the bathroom, he found Chloe Bishop sitting in the middle of the bed, hands planted on her hips, looking like she was ready for battle.Xavier Grayson curled his lips and pulled a box out of one of the bags.Feeling ignored, Chloe Bishop was indignant. She fixed him with a powerful stare and said, "Xavier Grayson, I think we need to have a serious talk—"Before she could finish, she saw him take out a syringe from the box.Her expression changed. "What are you doing?"Without looking up, Xavier Grayson replied, "Antibiotics. Those wolves, snakes, scorpions—they all carry a lot of bacteria. So I need the shots."Chloe Bishop:
