Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 6

Vespera sat in the treatment room, her wound being tended to by the doctor.

The door suddenly burst open, and a tall, imposing man stormed in with such intensity that the doctor flinched.

Vespera glanced over her shoulder. "It's fine. He's my boss."

At the last moment, she changed "husband" to "boss".

Luke's throat tightened as if something were stuck there. He stepped closer and asked the doctor, 
"How bad is the injury?"

"Just a superficial wound. Nothing serious."

The doctor, uninterested in their relationship, finished treating Vespera and prescribed some medication.

Vespera thanked the doctor and walked out. Luke followed closely behind, insisting on paying for the medical fees and grabbing the medication for her, acting every bit the dutiful husband.

Vespera didn't bother to argue.

As they left the hospital, she pulled out her phone to call a ride. Luke snatched it from her hand, wrapped an arm around her shoulders, and steered her forcefully toward the parking lot. He opened the passenger door, shoved her inside, then got into the driver's seat himself.

The door slammed shut with a loud thud, cutting off all outside noise. The atmosphere inside the car was tense.

"You blocked my number and decided to punish me by risking your life?" He turned to look at her, his expression a mix of exhaustion and anger.

Vespera stayed silent. She blinked in surprise before looking at his stormy face. Then, she laughed.

Her mood was low, but his absurd accusation amused her.

Luke had let Vespera down, and now she was supposedly risking her life to punish him? How could someone be so self-absorbed?

"You won't have to worry about that. Now give me back my phone," Vespera said, reaching for the device in his hand.

Luke dodged her hand. "I admit I lied to you today, but you completely overreacted and made Tina cry. Don't you think you're partly to blame? She's just a spoiled woman who speaks without thinking. Why take it so personally?"

Vespera listened to his excuses. He spoke about Tina with such fondness. Couldn't he see how obvious his change of heart was?

After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice tinged with the weariness of someone who was deeply hurt. "I won't bother Tina from now on. I also don't care what you do with her. But please, keep her in check. Don't let her come near me."

"I treat her like a sister. It's not what you think," Luke said, his brow furrowed.
