"Yes." Gary breathed a sigh of relief.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Upon arriving at the hospital, Ryan was promptly ced on a mobile hospital bed.


    The hospital room was brightly lit. It was only then that I noticed Ryan''s face, unnaturally pale due to excessive blood loss.


    In the car... he had been putting on a brave front the whole time to keep me from worrying.


    As the doors of the emergency room closed, my heart was seized by a fierce fear.


    Even breathing became difficult.


    I leaned against the wall, unable to describe the turmoil in my heart.


    All I knew was that when the doors of the emergency room opened and the doctor came out saying the bullet had been removed, and as long as he rested well for a period of time, the problem would not be serious, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    I entered the hospital room, and his dark eyes stared at me intensely.


    As if he was trying to see through me.


    I pursed my lips and poured him a ss of water. "Gary has gone back to pack your daily necessities and clothes. When hees back, I''ll leave."


    He smirked, pulling down theer of his mouth. "Leave?"


    "Yeah."


    I


    I nodded. "Thank you today."


    If he hadn''te, I might not have been able to leave that ce unscathed.


    Ryan chuckled, half-smiling. "Charlotte, I find you quite heartless."


    "What do you mean?" I asked.


    He cocked his brows. "Who did I get injured because of?"


    I didn''t know what to say, so I lowered my head. "Me."


    "Then you''re just going to leave me alone here and walk away?" He sounded a little pitiful,


    I took a deep breath. "Ryan, I appreciate what you did, but..."


    We''re both adults now, I didn''t make my words too clear and continued, "Besides, I didn''t leave you alone. Gary will take care of you."


    "Gary''s a guy. What does he know about taking care of a patient?'' Ignoring the first half of my sentence, Ryan spoke disdainfully.


    At that moment, Gary walked in with a suitcase. He froze, his eyes darting between me and Ryan. "Yes, Mr. Frost is right. I''m clumsy and I''m not good at taking care of patients."

    I hadn''t expected him to betray me so straightforwardly


    But then again, I could understand. After all, Ryan was his boss.


    I pinched my palm. "Then why don''t you give it a try first?"


    Ryan gave Gary a look. "I''m thirsty."


    "Yes."


    water f


    Gary quickly picked up the ss of the bedside and handed it over.


    Ryan gave him a cold look. "Man, I''m injured. Do I look like I can hold a ss?"


    Depending on a man to take care of someone might indeed not work out.


    I inserted a straw into the cup and held it to his lips. "Here."


    "That''s it?" Ryan seemed somewhat disappointed.


    Helplessly, I said, "What else can we do? You''re way too big for me to carry."


    "Ryan...


    Suddenly, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Jessica rushed in, looking distraught. "Ryan, I heard you were injured. Where are you hurt? Is it serious?" Ryan gave Gary a questioning look.


    Regretfully, Gary pped himself on the mouth and hurriedly exined, "I-I just went to get your phone...." "Don''t me him. I forced him to tell me!"


    Jessica pushed me aside, snatched the water cup from my hand, and affectionately sat beside the bed." Do you want water? Let me feed you."
