In the VIP ward of the hospital, Christopher donned a hospital gown andy on the bed.


    His usually handsome face was now as pale as a sheet of paper.


    “Mr. Iverson, why were you so foolish?” His secretary stood by the


    bed, still trembling with fear.


    “You could have been trampled to death by the horse! You might have


    been fatally injured right then and there. All your efforts and ns in


    Sentania would have been in vain.”


    Christopher gently opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his


    lips. “Taylor, it seems that you’re really worried about my well-being.”


    Taylor was startled, tears welling up in his eyes. “Mr. Iverson…”


    He had been working for Christopher for the past 8 years, starting out


    as an errand boy and slowly climbing his way to being his secretar


    Despite the change in status, Taylor’smitment remained unwavering. He was still at Christopher’s


    beck and call.


    Christopher was an extremely guarded man. He maintained a cold and guarded attitude toward


    everyone and drew a clear line with everyone he encountered.


    Over the years, apart from Be, no one could get close to him,


    alone touch his heart. He had no confidants.

    The first time Christopher called Taylor by his first name, Taylor


    finally felt that Christopher truly regarded him as his own. A feeling of closeness brought tears of


    excitement to his eyes.


    “Mr. Iverson, health is the foundation of everything. You must take


    care of yourself!”


    “I’m willing to do anything for Be.” Christopher took a deep breath, his eyes softening at the mention


    of Be. “And I also want to prove. to Be that Justin is not the only one who is willing to risk his life for


    her. I am also willing to do so. In the future, when she needs help, I


    . want her to think of me first, not Justin.”


    The second sentence carried profound significance.


    Taylor understood the underlying meaning and nodded solemnly.” Indeed. How can a man who


    engages in promiscuous rtionships and has a shady private life like Justin be worthy of Ms.


    Thompson? Ms. Thompson is a smart woman. She won’t fall into the same trap twice, right?”


    Christopher’s eyes darkened with coldness, neither confirming nor


    denying it.


    At this moment, his phone beside the pillow vibrated.


    He picked it up and nced at the screen. Before he could reply t the message, the door to the ward


    opened.


    “Chris, are you asleep?”


    Upon hearing Be’s voice, Christopher quickly tucked the phone back under his pillow. His lips curled


    up in a gentle smile. “Be, I’ve told you not to worry about me. I’m fine.”


    Be entered the ward and saw Christopher’s pale, fragile


    appearance. He looked as if he would break at the slightest touch,


    and she felt a twinge of difort in her heart. After all, he had


    ended up like this because he had saved her.


    “I’ve also told you that I’ll take responsibility for your injuries.” Be


    approached him, her tone very gentle.


    Christopher felt a warmth in his chest, his eyes slightly reddening.


    “Ms. Thompson, are you also injured?” Taylor asked with concern.


    “It’s nothing serious. The main concern is for your boss here. A


    fractured arm, cracked ribs, and five external wounds. He needs to


    stay in the hospital to recuperate.”


    Be also had some minor scratches on her body, but she didn’t care.


    Christopher chuckled lightly. “Be, I don’t need to stay in the hospital. I know my body’s condition.”


    “What’s with you men? Even Justin didn’t want to stay in the hospital


    after such a major brain surgery. Is the hospital toxic? Or can yo not afford the medical fees?” Be’s


    mouth fired offint


    machine gun.


    Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly froze and clenche


    fingers.

    Somehow, she inexplicably thought of Justin.


    Justin would often pop up in her consciousness like a tide, and sh


    couldn’t resist it at all.


    Christopher’s heart clenched. He quickly suppressed the rising


    jealousy and said, “Be, it seems that you really care about Mr.


    Salvador. You can think of him anytime, anywhere. He must hold a significant ce in your heart.”


    Be’s tone grew cold as her sharp gaze locked on him. “Do you want


    to hear the truth?”


    Christopher’s chest felt tight, and he pursed his lips.


    “You’re right. It is indeed significant.”
