Fingertips were avoided by Vanessa before they could touch.


    Dn frowned and watched her in silence. Time and space seemed frozen, and an indefinable aura filled the room.


    After a breathless calm, Dn took the lead.


    -How? You’re still making sure I’m not real?


    -Even if you had saved me, I would have been treated like this because of you,” Vanessa said in a cold, suddenly unapologetic tone as she straightened her clothes in front of Dn.


    -I’ve been bothering you all these days, and now that I’m awake, it’s time for me toe back.


    Calmly, she straightened the clothes on her body before Vanessa looked at Dn.


    Seeing the look on Vanessa’s face made Dn feel especially unhappy.


    She did not like Vanessa’s coolness and calmness.


    Even when she looked at him angrily, with indignant eyes, he liked it. Because it showed that he could bring about a change in Vanessa’s mood, that he had weight in his heart, and not like now.


    Shaped like strangers.


    Whatever he did, he was just a passer-by to her.


    Dn did not like the feeling.


    -Do you just want to leave?


    -Or what? Do I still have to thank you? -After a pause, Vanessa smiled surprisingly, “It’s okay. Even though I suffered this unjustified disaster because of you, you also saved me. I’m a grateful person, so I won’t take your help for granted. I’ll bring you a gift to thank you in person when I’ve recovered more. Or, I will give seven points to the Caza Group for their association with the SJ branch. What would be the best way to thank you, Mr. Dn?


    Vanessa looked at Dn calmly and reassuringly, but the words that came out could not have been reassuring.


    Dn hadn’t expected Vanessa to be so eloquent this time, and while he found it amusing, he was more than annoyed.


    -Do I need you to thank me with that?


    “Who do you think I am? A beggar by the side of the road?”


    Would you go to rescue her just for that money?


    Dn’s heart filled with rage, as if it would explode in the next moment.


    But Vanessa was frighteningly quiet.


    -Or what, it is not enough? Otherwise, the case for cooperation with the branch will be conceded to the past. If that doesn’t work, I wouldn’t mind holding a press conference to thank you properly and publicly, Mr Dn.


    Vanessa’s every word was calm, but every word carried a poisonous sting.


    It drove hard into Dn’s heart.


    -Do you want to thank me by using a little bit of profit? Honey, do you think I’m missing that little something?


    Dn stepped back angrily, his grim gaze fixed on Vanessa.


    She seemed not to have noticed anything, with an incredulous smile on her lips.


    -I thought that was enough, after all, only profit is reliable in your eyes, isn’t it? I thought you’d be d if I did, but apparently I don’t know you. So how about you say what you want the Caza Group to do?


    Vanessa looked at Dn openly, still unfazed by the sight of his eyes, which had suddenly turned cold and sharp.


    This was apletely different person than he once was.


    Somehow Dn suddenly had the feeling that he was going to lose the most important thing.


    The feeling made him panic.


    -Does it have to be like this?


    The mask on Dn’s face finally seemed unbearable as he gritted his teeth and stared at Vanessa, his sharp, cold gaze fixed on her heart.


    -Of course, we can only use interest to solve the problem. Of course, if you insist on refusing, then there is nothing I can do. That’s all I have to say, Mr Dn, think for yourself.


    After three days of sleep, Vanessa’s strength was low, even though she was given glucose every day.


    After talking to Dn, his energy was depleted and his strength was about to run out. He thought it was time to get out of here while he still had the strength to do so.


    As for Dn, he did not want to look at it more than once.


    But this was not the case.


    Vanessa struggled to get up, and before she could move she fell back onto the bed with weak hands and feet.


    She bit her lip, embarrassed, but not wanting to show it on her face so Dn could see it.


    He gritted his teeth and tried desperately to get up again, but lost his bnce and fell over the edge of the bed because he had pushed too hard.


    Luckily, Dn was quick on his feet and rushed forward to take the person in his arms.


    -Don’t move.


    Actually, he had just woken up and had been so angry with himself for so long, as if nothing had happened, that he had forgotten that Vanessa was still a patient.


    Ridiculous!


    All that self-control of his was surprisingly useless in front of her.


    Dn, somewhat helplessly, dominantly carried Vanessa andid her back on the bed, tucking her in.


    -Rest! And I’ll leave Lucas to check your body.


    -No…


    But Dn ignored his resistance.


    -Come here.


    Lucas, who was lying on the sofa, looked up from his position and looked at Dn:


    -Can you speak in a softer tone? Now you’re begging me.


    -Do you want to die?


    Dn’s unsettling tone gave Lucas goosebumps as he reluctantly stood up.


    -Well, well.


    As he grumbled unhappily, Lucas sat up quickly and tidied his clothes before approaching him.


    -She’s awake, isn’t she?Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Dn ignored him, and Lucas didn’t care, saying to himself, “I’ll have to tidy myself up then to make a good impression.


    I felt the cold air hitting his face when I finished speaking.


    Lucas looked up and saw Dn looking at him with hostile eyes.


    He bristled unconcernedly:


    -How? I can’t?


    -You’re only here to cure the disease, aren’t you?


    -Or are you worried that Vanessa will see me and fall in love with me? -Lucas said with particr glee.


    But Dn turned around, swept him up and down, then turned his head away after a nce. Although he said nothing, Lucas miraculously understood what he meant.


    Fuck, I’m only a little bit shorter than you, but at least I’m a good-looking guy.


    -Shut up.


    Dn gave a cold warning and Lucas finally shut up.


    The two men entered one after the other.


    Vanessa sat up from the bed just watching Dn with a stranger behind him, so she withdrew her expression immediately.
