Justin was drinking a ss of water when Ryan talked about rushing home to cook. Justin choked on


    water and coughed. “Are you sure you are in your right mind, Ryan? If there’s something wrong with


    you, you should get Be to check you out. I don’t want you to get in my


    sister’s way of finding happiness.”


    Be crossed her legs on the sofa and clicked her tongue while


    staring at Ryan. “Other yers would just retire from the ying field,


    nat


    but you take it one step further by cooking for your woman. That’s good. At least you’re domesticated


    now. That’s impressive.”


    “Ahem. It will be my first time tonight. I feel nervous.” For the 28 years Ryan had lived, he had never


    been in the kitchen, much less


    cooked.


    “D-Don’t push yourself, Ryan.” Carrie tugged on his sleeve worriedly


    Be looked skeptical and contemptuous. “Yeah. You can set fire in


    the kitchen for all I care, but don’t involve Carrie.”


    Justin pursed his lips. “If your pan catches fire, turn off the stove and cover the pan with a lid to stop the


    burning. Don’t pour water on it.”


    “I-I got it.” Carrie blinked and raised her handpliantly.


    Ryan scowled in rage. “Tsk. I havemon knowledge. I know you’re the perfect couple, but don’t


    treat me like a dummy.”


    Be was not happy to be lumped together with Justin. Before she could refute him, Ryan carried


    Carrie and slipped out of the ward.


    With the pair gone, the ward resumed its silence.


    The air was filled with awkwardness, romantic tension, and sour


    It smelled sour, all right. Justin had not taken a shower since the da


    he was injured.


    The bastard had turned into a stinking man.


    Still, Justin was blessed with good looks. Despite his knotted locks,


    he was infuriatingly handsome.


    “Ahem…”


    Be cleared her throat and eased the awkward tension. Her


    expression was indifferent. “While no one’s around, we should get


    down to it.”


    “How should we get down to it?” Justin’s voice rasped as he looked


    deep into her eyes.


    He had done nothing, but the yearning in his eyes had crossed the


    line.


    “Ha! Don’t forget that your life is in my hands, Justin.”


    Feeling a burn in her cheeks, Be gritted her teeth and sneered.”


    Watch your mouth. I can stitch your head up, but I can slice it back


    open too.”


    Justin narrowed his eyes and stopped fooling around. “I know what you want to talk about, Be. You


    want to investigate the man who


    tried to attack Celeste. You want to know the reason behind his


    actions, right?”


    A shimmer flickered in Be’s eyes, and she nodded. “Yes.”


    “I will sort this out for you, Be. Once I get out-”


    “I can’t wait a second longer. Do you know the grueling damage and devastating blow this can cause to


    Aunt Celeste?”


    Be interrupted him, her knuckles popping. “I had to put the investigation on hold to perform surgery

    on you. Otherwise, I would’ve caught the perpetrator by now.”


    Justin showed no expression. All he did was look at her with a tender smile.
