Summer leaned against the hospital bed, watching the IV drip
It had already been two hours.
She glanced over at Fraser, who was lounging lazily on the sola, his head lowered as he scrolled through his phone, handling
work.
“I have a caretaker. If you have things to do.”
At her words, Fraser lifted his gaze from the screen, glancing at her with an unreadable expression. His voice was calm yet piercing. “Are you that desperate to get rid of me?”
Summer stiffened, swallowing back the rest of her sentence.
She decided not to engage with him any further and went back to texting Yvette.
Yvette was overseas filming and had wanted to fly back the moment she heard what happened to Summer,
But Summer stopped her.
Her injuries weren’t that serious–just a wound on her right leg that made walking diflicult for now. She figured a week in the hospital, and she’d be discharged.
Yvette sent a message. “So, when you sold Trevor that Peyton was behind the kidnapping, how did he react? Did he believe you?”
Summer replied, “Not sure.”“”
Yvette texted back, “Guess stripping her down last time didn’t teach her a lesson Just wait till I get back–I’ll make sure she pays the price for inf
Summer hadn’t mentioned to Yvette that Peyton and Trevor had slept together,
Bringing it up would only make it seem like she cared.
Even though the second she found out, she’d felt absolutely disgusted.
Yvette texted, “By the way, does Mr. Graham know you fell off a cliff? Did Trevor rushing in to save you make him jealous? If this were a drama, the male lead would be drowning in jealousy by now.”
Jealous? No. Pissed off? Definitely. Like he was ready to tear me apart.
Summer glanced up from her phone and looked towards the balcony, where Fraser was on a call.
The VIP hospital suite had its own bathroom, a sofa, and even a private balcony.
Fraser stood outside, phone pressed to his ear, his other hand resting on the railing
His voice was cold and sharp, carrying the kind of authority that made it clear he wasn’t in the mood for excuses.
She could only imagine how miserable the poor guy on the other side of the call must’ve felt.

But faced with his cold, hard–edged attitude, she wisely shut her mouth.
After a while, she lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
She glanced at Fraser, still pacing on the balcony, taking one call after another.
It was like he’d turned her hospital room into his personal office.
She hesitated, debating whether to ask for his help, but after some thought, she dropped the idea.
Instead, she sent a

Leona texted, “Ms. Stewart, Mrs. Stewart made a nutritious meal. I’m on my way back now. If you need anything urgently. just ring the nurse.”
The nurse!
Summer immediately thought of the way the nurses had looked at her earlier–gossiping, teasing, full of knowing smirks.
Summer wanted to disappear into thin air–there was no way she was calling them for help.
But she had a bigger problem.
Her legs were tightly pressed together, and she was reaching her limit.
She glanced at the bathroom, quickly calculating the distance from her bed.
With a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and decided to do it on her own.
