Chapter 130 Is this love?

LILY'S POVI moved away from Wade's bed and decided to sit on the long sofa. I took my wristwatch from my pocket. I had taken it off earlier because I washed my hands. I checked the time. It was almost ten at night.I took my cellphone from beside the bed. There was a new message from Alena.{How are you?}I sighed before typing a reply.{I'm okay, how about you? I'm at the hospital now.}A few seconds later, she called. I glanced at Wade first — he was still sleeping soundly, breathing gently. Then I answered the call.“Lily?” Alena immediately said, with worry in her voice. “Why are you in the hospital? Did something happen?”I took a deep breath. “Something happened… to Wade.”“Wade?” she asked quickly. “What happened to him?”I was silent for a moment. It felt like my throat tightened.“He was poisoned,” I said softly.Alena froze. “What?”“He was poisoned,” I repeated, almost whispering. “And I… I'm the reason why it happened.”“Lily,” her tone was now serious. “What do you mean?

Chapter 131 Confused Mind

WADE'S POVHot. That was the first thing I felt when I opened my eyes. I felt hot and heavy, like I had been asleep for days. I briefly tried to move my hand but it felt like something was attached — a bandage, an IV line. I slowly looked around, and there I saw Lily.She was sitting beside the bed, leaning back, asleep while still holding my hand. Her hair was messy and there were traces of fatigue on her face, but despite that, there was a strange peace around us. Her hand holding mine was tight, as if she was afraid of losing me.I don't know why, but no matter what anger or pain I should feel, it disappeared in an instant.Is this really how it is when you love someone? You can forgive over and over. No matter how painful what they did is?I moved a little, and she was startled. She slowly opened her eyes, and when she looked at me, it felt like time stopped.“Wade…” she called softly, almost whispering. “You’re awake.”I just remained silent while watching her.“Have I been aslee

Chapter 132 Teased by my Assistant

WADE'S POV“Wade…” Lily called me again.“I’m not saying everything is over,” I cut in, looking straight. “But… thank you.”I don’t often say thank you. Even to Wayne, my assistant, I don’t really thank him. But when Lily is in front of me, that word just comes out of my mouth on its own.She just remained silent. For a few seconds, no one moved until she slowly nodded.“You’re welcome.”We stayed in that silence. Two wounded people, both not knowing where to start. And outside, the sun was gradually rising, light hitting her face, and for the first time since I woke up, I thought that maybe it wasn’t completely too late yet.“Uy, Master is alive after all.”That was Wayne, grinning and carrying coffee, but clearly he didn’t sleep well either. He approached and stood at the foot of the bed. He looked at me as if he wanted to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.“I thought you were going to leave me for good with the company, Master,” he said with a hint of a joke but I could feel the real re

Chapter 133 The Sponsor

LILY'S POVMy cellphone rang while I was in the bathroom. I looked, and I immediately saw the name on the screen."Dr. Ramos (Mama's Doctor)"I got nervous. I don't know why but it felt like a cold wind passed behind me. Did something happen to Mama?I immediately answered the call. “Hello, Doc?”“Lily,” Dr. Ramos' tone was calm but fast. “Can you come here to the facility now? There's something we need to discuss about your mom.”I stopped moving. “Did something happen to her?”“Nothing bad but I need your permission. Because we’re transferring her to a new ward.”I frowned. “New ward? Why?”“Her treatment will be better there. The hospital has a new program for patients who need close monitoring. She's in the VIP ward now.”“VIP?” I could hardly believe it. “Doc, there might be a mistake. I didn't approve that and I didn't release a large amount of money to trans—”“It’s better if we discuss it here. Just come over, Lily.”After the call ended, I felt like I didn't know what to feel

Chapter 134 The Strange Man

LILY'S POVI had just sat down beside Mama's bed when my cellphone suddenly rang. When I looked, Alena's name appeared on the screen.“Hello?”“Lily!” she almost shouted on the other line. I immediately felt the nervousness in her voice. “Where are you now?”“At the hospital. Here with Mama. Why?”“Listen,” she said quickly, clearly in a hurry. “It's spreading in the social circle of investors and shareholders about Wade. That he was poisoned. I don't know how the information got out but it went viral in the group chats of the company owners.”My grip on the phone tightened. “What? How did they know?”“I don't know. But what's worse, Lily…” She stopped for a moment, as if hesitant. “Many are angry. Not just at him as CEO, but also at his decisions in the company. Some are saying he should be replaced. And there are people—”“There are people, what?” I could barely hear myself from anger. How dare they all gang up on Wade.Alena took a deep breath before speaking. “Who wants him gone f

Chapter 135 Caught in the Act

LILY'S POVI turned around. He was awake. He was looking at us as if confused.“What’s happening here?”“Wade!” I quickly went to him, almost dropping my cellphone on the floor. “A man came in and injected something into your IV! I thought—”But before I could finish, I heard him hold his head and frown.“Kelvin?” he called, his voice a bit hoarse. “Why are you on the floor?”I froze. “What? You know him?”I looked back at the man — he was the one I confronted earlier. He is now sitting on the floor and fixing his white coat which was all wrinkled because I pulled him earlier.“Wait,” Wade said, trying to sit up on the bed. “Lily, what did you do to Kelvin?”I frowned. “He’s your friend?”“Yes!” Wade answered, clearly still unable to believe the scene. “He’s my friend and he's the Vice President of this hospital.”It was like I was doused with cold water.“W-What?”“He’s VP here,” Wade repeated, clearer now. “And he’s also a doctor. He monitors the patients in the private ward.”I qui

Chapter 136 Cornering Her Accomplice

WAYNE'S POVA few hours ago…I was focused on the monitor. My eyes were barely blinking. I had been backtracking Master Wade's system logs for hours. Checking why there was suddenly a leak in his classified files last night. At first, I thought it was just a glitch but now I see why.There was a cursor moving in a folder that only me and Master Wade should have access to.“What—” I muttered, pressing a few commands. The IP trace appeared on the screen.“This can’t be true…”My temples were throbbing as I followed the digital trail. Fast. Clean. Obviously not a beginner. But there was one mistake. She logged in using a VPN that rerouted within the same network area of Wade's building.“Got you,” I said softly.I continued tracing. The area appeared on the map — a residential tower in the city center. When I saw the name of the unit owner, I recoiled from the chair.Alena Newford. And I know her very well. She’s Lilibeth Russell’s best friend. I can't be mistaken because I myself did th

Chapter 137 Do you love me?

LILY'S POVWade pulled me and I ended up sitting on the hospital bed with him. Before I could even move, he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me down to lie down again. Everything happened so fast I couldn't even move.“Let’s stay like this for a while,” he said sweetly.“W-Wade, what? I'm leaving. L-Let go of me,” I complained. I looked away when our eyes met, he had a mischievous smile on his lips that irritated me. If earlier I was so worried about him, it was replaced by irritation. I didn't like his arrogant grin. It was like he was telling me I lost whatever game we both had.Our bodies were close and our faces were only inches apart. Instead of moving away, Wade moved his face even closer making me move away.“Wade!” I scolded him.“What?” he said laughing. “Until now are you still going to deny what you feel for me?”My eyes widened in shock. “What are you saying? I am not denying anything because there really is nothing!”I couldn't answer his question because I mys

Chapter 138 Making Move

LILY'S POVWe were both lying on the hospital bed. My head was resting on his arm and one of his hands was tightly wrapped around me. I could feel the heat of his body, even the tension in every movement. It was like he was afraid I might suddenly disappear.We were silent for a few minutes after we admitted our feelings to each other. Both savoring the peace between us. For now, no chaos, secrets, or lies weighing down our relationship.“Sweetheart,” Wade said and slightly hugged my body tighter. I smiled at his action.“Do you want… us to sleep together later?”I frowned. “Here in the hospital?” My whole face turned red from embarrassment. I realized Wade might have a different intention in saying that. I looked at him sharply. “You just came from the brink of death. And besides, we're in the hospital, Wade. Don't be like that!”Wade frowned. “What are you talking about?”I widened my eyes at him. “Don't fool me. I know what you mean, okay. Really, in the hospital?”“What do you mea

Chapter 139 Finding the real perpetrator

LILY'S POV“Where are you going?” Wade asked while still lying on the bed. His voice was a bit hoarse, clearly just woke up.I turned to him while fixing my bag. “I'll just go home for a bit,” I answered, trying to be calm. “I'll just change clothes, I might already smell like the hospital.”His forehead slightly furrowed. “You don't need to hurry. You can have Wayne get your things,” he said, as if not convinced.I smiled, trying to be natural. “It's okay. I also want to take a bath at home. For a change of air. Besides, it would be embarrassing for Wayne if that's the case.”He stared at me for a few seconds, as if checking if I was really telling the truth. But in the end, he just sighed and nodded.“Okay. But eat first before you leave, okay? And be careful on the way. Call me when you arrive.”I smiled, but something pinched my chest. “Yes, Wade. Don’t worry, I'll be back right away. And you also eat and when there is food given and medicine to you, have it double-checked first b
