Linda started at Charles's words, noticing that he was watching her with a lopsided grin. "I thought you were asleep."
"I wasn't."
"Why are your eyes closed?"
"I'm just trying to relax, "
Charles replied, slipping his arm around Linda's waist and pecking her on her lips.
"How was your interview?"
"I'm sure it went well since they all know I'm your fiancé, " Linda said.
"Come on, you're brilliant. I'm sure you won them over by yourself."
Charles pulled back and moved to start the car. He asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital or go back home?"
"Hospital. I need to check on Brian."
"Darling, you worry too much about him. I'm getting jealous now, "
Charles pouted. Linda found it amusing to see him acting like a spoiled child.
"If not for Brian, I would be the one lying in the hospital. How could I not be concerned for him?"
The Lamborghini was driven off from Z High School with a roar.
Charles pulled over in front of the hospital to drop Linda off. "I'm not going in. There are two remaining important meetings to finish. Give my regards to Brian."
"Alright." Linda nodded in response and got out of car.
Charles was about to start a meeting when he heard something had happened to Linda. Immediately postponing the meeting until he got back, he rushed to check on his fiancé.
Afterwards, he drove Linda to her interview. This all took a lot of time, and there was little time left for the meeting.
When Linda arrived at the hospital, she saw Dr. Anna Xu walking out of Brian's room. Anna walked up to her and greeted her with a smile. "My Lady."?
"Hi, Anna. How's Brian? Is there anything wrong with him?"
Anna nodded and said, "Actually, it's difficult to tell. On one hand, everything is fine. But we have a serious situation."
"What do you mean?"
"Brian hasn't fully recovered from the injuries on his back caused by the explosion from last time. His spine is now compressed."
"If his spine was hurt, can it be treated?" Linda asked worriedly.
Anna smiled and said, "Of course, My Lady. But the problem is that it takes a long time for him to fully recover. It seems difficult for Young Master Ho to lie still in bed for such a long time. You know how he is."
"Well, how about we let Bun keep him company while he's on bed rest? That could solve the problem."
After finding out that Brian was going to be fine, Linda felt relieved enough to joke about him.
Anna found it amusing and said, "I think Young Master Ho is interested in Bun. But what about Paul? It seems Paul also likes her."
Linda shrugged and said, "I guess there's nothing we can do about it. Emotional matters are always...you know." She trailed off, gesturing vaguely with her hand.
Anna nodded in agreement without another word.
