“Do as you like,” Damon said.


    “Okay. Uncle Damon, you’re busy with work. If you don’t have to, don’t waste your timeing to see me,” Nmented.


    Damon raised an eyebrow, his gaze scrutinizing N. “Is this how you treat someone who saved your life?”


    N looked up at him and said slowly, “It’s precisely because you saved my life that I should be more grateful. I don’t want to waste your time when you’re so busy, Uncle Damon.”


    Seeing her repeatedly address him as “Uncle Damon“, a constant reminder of their rtionship, Damon suddenly leaned in closer.


    Startled by his magnified face, N backed away quickly, as if avoiding the gue.


    Just as Damon was about to speak, the door to the room was pushed


    open.


    “N-” rk’s voice halted abruptly when he saw Damon.


    From rk’s perspective, Damon’s movement seemed like he wanted to kiss N.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    rk’s expression turned icy as he strode to the bedside, ring at Damon. “Uncle Damon, I’ve told you before to stay away from N!”


    Damon’s expression remained indifferent, his gaze so cold it seemed it could freeze someone.


    rk red back at him without fear. N was his wife, and Damon’s interest in her was unjustifiable.


    Feeling the temperature in the room plummet, N frowned. “If you two want to argue, <i>do </i>it outside. I need to rest.”


    As soon as she spoke, both men looked at her, and the tension in the room seemed to vanish as othing had happened,


    “Rest well. I’lle see you tomorrow,” Damon stated,


    rk sneered. “I’ll take good care of N, so you don’t need to worry, Uncle Damon.”


    Damon nced at him. “You also have a pregnant mistress outside, Can you manage both?”


    “That’s my concern. Just take care of yourself and stop fixating on someone else’s wife,” rk retorted,


    “rk! Shut up!” N red at rk. She had intended to discreetly distance herself from Damon, but now that rk had brought it up, how was she supposed to interact with Damon in the future?


    Ignoring rk’s gaze, N turned to Damon and said, “Uncle Damon, please be careful on your way back.”


    Her tone was respectful, like a junior addressing a senior, which made Damon’s gaze turn colder. He didn’t say anything else and turned to leave.


    Once Damon had disappeared from the doorway, N told rk, “You should leave too. I don’t want to see you.”


    “N, you’re not developing feelings for my uncle, are you?” he asked.


    Seeing the suspicion in rk’s eyes, N felt only calmness, no longer affected by the previous sadness or anger. “What you choose to think is your business, not mine.”


    All she wanted now was to recover from her injuries, reveal rk’s affair to the Summers once she was discharged, and get a divorce, distancing herself from him.


    After the disappointment fromst night, she no longer wished to see rk even once more.


    N’s cold attitude fueled rk’s anger.


    He gripped her chin forcefully. “Does your refusal to exin mean you’re admitting it?!”


    rk’s grip on N’s chin was intense, and she felt as if it might be crushed. She looked up, seeing the pain in his eyes, and a hint of sarcasm crossed her face.


    Pushing his hand away, she said tly, “Get out.”
