Even though it was an insult, Dawn laughed when she heard it. She tilted her head and said “You’re finally talking to me.”
Ethan was dumbfounded.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Get in the car.”
“Okay.”
Dawn pulled open the back door, but the next second, he pushed it shut with one hand. “Front seat!”
“Oh.”
She tried not to smile and got into the passenger seat.
Outside, Tony was still waiting with the police to handle the follow–up investigation and evidence collection.
Ethan skillfully turned the steering wheel, backed the car out in two moves, and didn’t slow down to a normal speed until they hit the main road.
Dawn glanced at him and muttered, “You’re always so fast. Never think about how I feel.”
It sounded like she meant his driving.
But, it seemed not.
Ethan sucked in a sharp breath. “Ms. West, you’re really bold. You just went through a life–or- death situation, and you still have the mood to flirt with me.”
Dawn leaned back lazily in her seat, arms crossed. “What else am I supposed to do?
“I’m not a superhero. Of course, I was scared.
“But this isn’t the first time I’ve almost died. If something really happened, then maybe it was just meant to be. Since I was lucky enough to have Mr. Jackson save me, shouldn’t I enjoy the moment while I can?”
If something really happened, then maybe it was just meant to be.
That hit Ethan like a needle straight in the chest.
Did she think that way three years ago too?

But three years ago….. It was his fault.

A flash of pain crossed Ethan’s face, and his breathing turned ragged for a couple of seconds. He said in a hoarse voice, “Then, I hope you enjoy it to the fullest.”
He slammed on the gas. The car shot forward.
Dawn turned her head to look at his sharp profile, her eyes flickering.
They didn’t go back to the villa; he drove straight to the hospital.
Dawn looked at him, grabbing her seatbelt. “Why are we here? Ethan, I’m not hurt. I’m fine, I
Ethan clearly didn’t want to hear her rambling.
He opened the car door and got out.
Then he went around, opened the passenger door, unbuckled her seatbelt, and carried her
out.
People couldn’t help staring. Handsome guy, pretty girl, and a princess carry? Totally eye- catching. Some people were even secretly taking pictures.
Dawn instinctively pressed her face against his chest to hide.
“Ethan, put me down!”
Ethan looked down at her.
Since they reunited, this was the first time he’d seen her like a scared little bird.
A faint smile tugged at his lips. He ignored her protests and strode inside.
Central Hospital was the best hospital in Northville, full of top specialists. But today, every available expert had been called in and lined up for a consultation.
A commotion this big was a first–people were whispering about who could possibly have the influence to bring out so many senior experts.
Dawn felt like a ragdoll, being flipped over and checked repeatedly and shoved into all kinds of machines.
She was extremely frustrated but had to cooperate.
The moment she gave even a tiny, pitiful look at Ethan, he’d order another test.

She had every reason to believe he was doing this on purpose!

In the doctor’s office. Ethan sat in a chair. Beside him, the doctor was going through the examination reports one by one, summarizing Dawn’s condition.
“Ms. Porter’s body has clearly been seriously injured. From X–rays, three ribs show signs of fractures, she’s missing a lobe of her liver, and…”
The more the doctor spoke, the darker Ethan’s expression got.
The heavy pressure from him made the room feel suffocating.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly added, “But it’s clear Ms. Porter has recovered very well. She should be fine now and it won’t affect her normal life in the future. Mr. Jackson, you don’t need to worry!”
Ethan held shares in Central Hospital, and the best medical equipment in recent years came from the Jackson Group.
Even the director had to tread carefully around someone like him. They couldn’t afford to offend him.
Ethan stayed silent. His eyes were calm but unreadable.
His hand hung at his side, already clenched into a fist.
Three ribs with fracture marks.
A missing lobe of the liver.
Brain hemorrhage.
Every word felt like a knife twisting in his chest.
If it weren’t for his mistakes back then, she wouldn’t have suffered all this. A woman so afraid of pain–how much must she have endured?
Ethan shut his eyes tightly, feeling as if his heart were crushed under a boulder, heavy and suffocating.
He said hoarsely, “Got it. Thank you.”
The doctor sighed in relief and quickly left.
The office fell silent. Ethan stared at nothing, cold and tortured.
After a while, the door opened, and Dawn stomped in, fuming. “Ethan, I’m done! Don’t think

I’m too scared to fight you. I was just being polite, get it? Whoever wants to get a medical check–up can do it. I’m done! If you try to force ne again, you’re… you’re a jerk!”
