Now that it was quiet, Mia recalled the scene of Ethan helping her out of bed.

It was beyond surreal. No matter how she looked at it, the fact that she was alone with Ethan and being cared for by him felt like a dream.

But it was the reality.

For the next two days, Ethan conducted all his business from the hospital. The dozen or so bodyguards in suits tanding outside the door told Mia that something was happening.

Something big.

But Ethan was blocking it all. Underneath the apparent calm, a massive crisis was brewing.

she had never imagined that anyone besides Ethan could give her such a sense of oppression at a time like this. She still couldn’t figure it out.

A few times, there was a commotion outside-people trying to force their way into the ward, only to be stopped by he guards.

Ethan never went out to see what was happening; he clearly already knew.

Seeing Mia staring at the door, he simply said, “Don’t worry. It’s not Nina.”

Mia was losing her patience. Several times, she wanted to ask what was going on.

But Ethan kept a grim expression, looking as if he were plagued by troubles. Perhaps it was because Miranda Hale had canceled the wedding.

He spent most of his time working, occasionally prompting her to get out of bed to recover. Beyond that, they lidn’t talk much.

Mia stopped asking and waited patiently.

But Nina Torres’s fiery temper couldn’t wait. Ten days had passed without seeing Mia, and she was about to tear

er house apart.

She turned her attention to Cole Preston, messaging him every other day under the guise of checking on his

njuries.

Miss Torres, if you want something, just say it.]

Cole felt helpless as she kept trying to force a conversation.

Nina: [Dr. Preston, I’m just worried about you.]

Cole: [I don’t need verbal concern.]

Nina’s eyes rolled. She grabbed her bag and stormed out of the house, heading straight for the hospital.

Within an hour, she appeared in Cole’s ward. She had bought a bouquet of flowers, an imported fruit basket, and a bone broth she had bought from a five-star hotel and poured into a thermos.

‘Dr. Preston, you are Toby’s doctor, after all. We’re both from Northbrook. It’s only right that I visit you while

you’re hospitalized.”

Nina’s hands were full. Cole was startled when she walked in.

Realizing she might have gone overboard, she offered a quick explanation. Cole’s lip twitched as he propped

imself up.

Dr. Preston, do you want some water? I’ll pour it for you.”

Dr. Preston, what fruit do you want? I’ll peel it!”

Dr.

Preston, you-”

I can’t help you see Mia,” Cole interrupted.

Nina dropped the things in her hands and rushed over to sit down.

I don’t even have to see her! Just tell me, what the hell is Ethan trying to do? Is he going to take her away?”

Cole shook his head. “He won’t hurt her. He’s protecting her. You don’t need to worry.”

He was Ethan’s friend; Nina didn’t believe a word he said.

But she was also afraid that if she pushed too hard, she’d annoy him and fail her mission.

I was just saying, it’s not like Ethan to be this secretive, right? I’m just uneasy. Mia just had a baby; her hormones re all over the place, and she has to care for a child. I just want to see her once.”

Cole’s eyelids lifted as he swept a gaze over her.

Nina was wearing a white T-shirt and a denim skirt. Her figure wasn’t exactly “bombshell” level, but she was lefinitely curvy in all the right places.

As she stood beside him, the faint scent of her perfume drifted into his nose. His mind involuntarily flashed back o the image of her sitting on top of him the other day.

You really want to see her?”

Vina nodded like a bird pecking at grain. “Yes!”

She had to find a chance to rescue Mia!

I can find a way to let you see her,” Cole proposed. “On one condition: you have to stay here in the hospital and ake care of me.”
