Chapter 3


    Chapter 3


    When Julie woke up again, she found herself in a strange king–size bed.


    The dark grey sheets in front of her eyes had a calming vibe. There was a faint smell of Cologne on the


    quilt, which gave Julie a familiar feeling, like something from the deep ce within her memory. The


    scent filled her nostrils instantly.-


    She stared nkly into space for a minute or two before the memories of what had happened earlier


    started flooding back in.


    The recollection filled her with fear. She became aware of her own body again, and her leg started to


    hurt.


    There was a male voice from outside the door. He was speaking in detail, “Ms. Abraham’s condition is


    not serious. It’s just malnutrition. She’s been anemic, which means she couldn’t keep up with her


    nutritional needs. Besides, with the fact that she was worn out and not getting enough rest, she fainted


    from exhaustion. She just needs to recuperate and she’ll be fine. Once her health stabilizes, she can


    start replenishing her body. As for the wound on her leg, it’s nothing serious. She just needs to rest in


    bed for a few days and she’ll be fine. Try to keep her movement to a minimum during these days.”


    This unfamiliar environment made Julie uneasy. Hearing the doctor’s words, she hurriedly threw off the


    quilts and frowned at the bandages on her leg.


    Just as she was about to get out of bed, the bedroom door was gently pushed open from the outside.


    Julie immediately froze, just staring nkly towards the door.


    In the backlight at the doorway, a tall and familiar figure was slowly approaching.


    Who else could it be but Kieran?

    He was dressed in a bespoke Italian suit. The dark grey fabric made him look even taller and more


    composed. He stood at the door emotionless, looking cold and distant. This was exactly the man who


    Julie remembered – noble, charismatic, andpelling.


    “Didn’t you hear the doctor saying you need to rest in bed?” His calm voice echoed over Julie’s head,


    devoid of any emotion, leaving Julie unsure whether he was worried about her.


    She frowned. Of course, she’d heard. Not only had she heard the doctor saying that she needed to rest


    in bed, but she’d also heard him saying that she had fainted from overwork. She was quite impressed


    with her own survival abilities.


    She looked around the room, and the quiet ambiance told her that this was Kieran’s ce.


    Knowing this, Julie was even more determined to get out of bed and leave. Regardless of how much


    her leg hurt, she stubbornly stood up and limped towards the door, passing by the man standing by the


    bed without even giving him a nce.


    But the resentment in her eyes never faded.


    Her stubbornness finally pissed off Kieran. Before she had a chance to reach the door, her wrist was


    tightly gripped by Kieran.


    Julie turned her head, her eyes full of rage. She stared at the man in front of her, voice cold and hard,


    “Let go of me!”


    She struggled, trying to shake off Kieran’s hand, but was pinned against the door by him.
