N struggled throughout the journey, trying to make rk put her down, but to no avail.


    When rk finally ced her on the emergency room bed, he pressed her hands down and said in a low, serious tone, “N, I’m in a bad mood right now. You’d better behave.”


    Detecting the threat in his voice, N shook off his hands and looked at him coldly<i>. </i>“What does your bad mood have to do with me? If you like obedient behavior, you should go find Jordyn. I’m not capable of being as understanding as she is.”


    rk stared at her impassive profile and suddenly smiled. “N, are you jealous?”


    N frowned, unsure of where he got that idea from. She didn’t want to argue with <b>him</b>, so she let him think whatever he wanted.


    Soon, the doctor arrived, conducted a thorough examination, and rebandaged N’s injured hand. He advised her to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.


    Once in the hospital ward, N noticed that rk hadn’t left and felt a flicker of annoyance. “You can leave now.”


    I’m staying here with you,” he said.


    Seeing rk’s serious expression, N turned away in disgust. “Do you think your presence here now makes any difference? Where were you when I was kidnapped?”


    “N, I didn’t know you were kidnapped…”


    N smiled mockingly. “Of course you didn’t know because you were busy having an affair with Jordyn.”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.

    Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, his gaze darkening. “How do you know I was with Jordyn at that time?”


    N stared at him, enunciating each word, “Because I called you, but it was Jordyn who answered. At my most desperate and scared moment, you were with another woman. How can you face me now and act as if nothing happened?”


    rk’s face turned pale, and he shook his head in disbelief. “No… I didn’t have any iing calls…”


    He couldn’t bear to think about how desperate N must have felt when Jordyn answered the phone while she was begging for help.


    N sneered, “You should ask Jordyn about it.”


    “N, I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. If it turns out that Jordyn responsible, I won’t let her get away with it!” he promised.


    N didn’t believe a word he said. She slowly looked up, her gaze icy. If it is her, how will you take revenge? Make her abort the baby, or have her go through what I did?”


    Her cold eyes were filled with stubbornness, demanding an answer.


    rk frowned, feeling that her attitude was somewhat aggressive. She wasn’t like this before–she used to be kind and gentle.


    Seeing that he didn’t respond, N chuckled. “rk, do you know what I find most disgusting about you? It’s that you neither want to divorce me nor cut tiespletely with Jordyn. Do you think I’ll tolerate your behavior like your mother tolerates your father’s mistresses?”


    “N, I never thought that way… I just..”

    rk’s hands clenched at his sides, a flicker of despair in his eyes. He couldn’t refute N because everything she said was true. He did think she couldn’t leave him and didn’t want to let her go.


    N smiled bitterly as she averted her gaze. “Just leave, I don’t want to see you right now.”


    The door to the hospital ward opened and closed, and N’s expression turned cold again.


    After leaving the hospital, the first thing rk did was find Jordyn.


    When Jordyn saw him return, her face lit up with joy. “rko… you’re back- Ah!”


    Before she could finish, rk grabbed her by the hair, yanking her closer with an icy re.
