At this point, the doctor guessed that perhaps the young couple had had a quarrel.


    Ignoring Loraine’s answer, the doctor spoke to her. “Miss, the patient is seriously injured. He needs to


    rest for some time. Please help to take good care of him.”


    “Doctor, you’re wrong. He’s not my…”


    But Loraine had hardly finished talking when Marco nodded enthusiastically. “Okay, doctor. Thank you.”


    The doctor was grateful to have found someone who could handle such a troublesome patient, so he


    didn’t bother to say any more concerning the matter. He excused himself and hurried over to the next


    ward.


    After the doctor had left the ward, Loraine turned to look around for


    Carl.


    She had to get the task of taking care of Marco off her hands.


    But to her surprise, she found that Carl had disappeared.


    He had not only run away but also taken all of the bodyguards with him, leaving Loraine no one to


    assign the task to.


    Now, there were only two people left in the ward: Marco and Loraine.


    Marco was still staring at her.


    His burning eyes seemed to pierce through her, making Loraine very ufortable. The ambience of


    the room was just not right, and her mind was in aplete mess.

    “Marco, sorry for what happened today,” Loraine said, fixing her eyes on the floor. “I’ll pay for all the


    losses. The damaged car, clothes, medical expenses, hospitalization… If there’s nothing else, I think I


    need to go.”


    With this, Loraine got up and was about to leave the ward. But before she could take a single step, she


    heard a painful cry from behind.


    Loraine turned around without thinking.


    “What’s wrong?” she asked in concern, quickly rushing back to the bedside.

    Marco was trying to sit up on the bed. Perhaps he had put pressure on some of his wounds in the


    process. His face was pale and his forehead was covered with perspiration.


    “Come on, lie back down! You’re so badly injured. How dare you move?


    You’re just risking your life!” Without hesitation, Loraine gently helped him Lie back down on the bed.


    Marco grimaced in pain as he went through the slow process of lying down on his back again.


    “I just wanted to drink some water. You don’t need to worry about me. I owe you, you know. You don’t


    need to pay anything. You can leave if you want.”


    Loraine’s heart softened and she couldn’t bring herself to leave him anymore.
