Chloe Bennett’s clothes and aura made it clear she was no ordinary person.

Aunt May, having caused the collision, immediately turned sheepish. After a few seconds of guilt, she turned to help Mia Carter up.

Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?”

Terrified that they might be sued, she gave Mia a perfunctory show of concern before turning back to glare at

Chloe.

You! Your legs are clearly messed up, so why are you running around? I’m telling you, she’s…”

As she said “she,” Aunt May pulled Mia right in front of Ethan Hale and Chloe. Pointing at Mia’s stomach, the words “pregnant were about to burst from her lips.

Mr. Hale!”

Ethan!”

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

The former was Mia. She wasn’t sure how long Ethan had been standing there, but she held onto a sliver of hope hat he hadn’t understood what was happening. She interrupted Aunt May to shut her down.

The latter was Chloe, who was clinging to Ethan’s arm, her eyes brimming with tears.

My leg hurts so much. Please, take me to a doctor. I think my bone moved out of place again.”

Ethan’s brow furrowed into a deep knot. He picked up the blanket that had fallen to the ground, draped it over Chloe’s legs, and quickly pushed the wheelchair away.

Chloe was at the hospital for a follow-up today. The doctor was surprised to see her back so soon after her initial heck-up.

After hearing what happened, the doctor removed the cast from Chloe’s leg and gently probed the area. “Does it

hurt?”

Chloe gripped the hem of Ethan’s shirt and gave a small nod. “A little.”

It’s not a big problem. It wasn’t a fracture to begin with. Even if it was bumped, it’ll just be sore; it won’t move out of place.”

The doctor reapplied the cast and prescribed some painkillers. Take one if the pain gets too bad.”

Ethan took the medication and led Chloe out.

What happened back there?” he asked once they were in the car. He buckled his seatbelt and looked at her.

Chloe gripped the bottle of painkillers, her fingertips turning white. She feigned a casual expression. “I saw Ms. Carter and wanted to go over and say hello, but we accidentally bumped into each other.”

Ethan’s eyes narrowed, clearly skeptical. He had been getting Chloe’s lab reports, and when he returned, he had seen the three of them tangled together. It had looked more like an argument.

Ethan, let’s go. I’ll be able to take the cast off next time and finally walk again I really don’t want to be in this wheelchair anymore!”

Inder her urging. Ethan pushed aside his doubts, started the engine, and drove away

An hour later, he dropped Chloe off at the Bennett home.

Sandra Bennett was warm and insistent. “Stay for lunch. Chloe’s father will be back soon. You’ve worked so hard aking care of her lately.”

than gave a curt nod. “It was my duty. But don’t trouble yourself; I have things to handle at the office.”

fis refusal was exactly what Sandra expected. She shot a look at Chloe, hoping her daughter would convince him

o stay.

Since Ethan has work, let him go. We’ll eat together another time when he’s free,” Chloe said, surprisingly

ubmissive.
