Whitney’s eyes grew misty as the blinked. “You… found out?” she said.
Whitney had picked up the car from the dealership herself.
The dual-facing dashcam inside had only been replaced a week ago.
Before heading out, she’d even called up Marco to make sure he’d be waiting at the spot.
Klein wasn’t dumb. There were plenty of things he could uncover with barely any effort.

“The footage from your dashcam has already been handed over to the police. Turns out one of the dealership men messed with it behind the scenes, and they’re questioning him right now,” Klein said.
“I checked the truck, but didn’t find anything off about it,” he added.
“Since you’re awake now, I’m heading back to the office. April will be here to look after you. If you need anything, just call Martin. He will take care of anything with the cops,” Klein said.
After making sure everything was taken care of. Klein got up to leave.
Whitney’s heart skipped a beat in panic.
‘Klein’s really pissed off, Whitney thought.
‘Don’t go,” Whitney blurted out, grabbing his strong wrist with her right hand. “Honey, please don’t go.”
For the first time, she called him honey in broad daylight, her voice soft and sweet, almost coquettish.
Klein’s heart softened for a split second. But as soon as he remembered what Whitney had done, his face turned cold again.
If I don’t give her a wake-up call, she’s just going to keep being careless with herself, Klein thought.
‘Let go!” Klein snapped, his voice harsh.
Whitney’s nose prickled, and his icy indifference left her frozen in place.
Okay,” she whispered, sounding hurt as she let go of his hand.
Klein caught sight of Whitney’s IV backing up with blood on her soft hand, and he felt both frustrated and helpless at the
same time.
The blood’s backing up. Didn’t you see that?” Klein said, his tone a little harsh
Still, his hands were gentle as he switched off the IV and called a nurse over to fix it.
“Hey, careful with your IV hand, okay? Try not to move it too much,” the nurse said softly to Whitney
Once the nurse was gone, Klein gave Whitney’s cheek a gentle pinch. his voice a mix of frustration and concern, “Have you learnt your lesson? Are you still thinking about doing something reckless next time?”
Whitney’s tears suddenly fell onto the back of his hand
The heat of her tears threw him off, making him flustered.

Why zie you crying.” Klein’s grip softened, turning into a gentle caress as his thumb stroked her soft cheek. “Why are yo crying, huh?
Whitney hadn’t meant to cry
It was just that Klein’s voice had been so cold and harsh, and she felt like a pampered child, her heart swelling with hurt a grievance, feeling so wronged that she could barely stand it.
She couldn’t help bursting into tears.
Klein just couldn’t do anything about her. He gently pulled her into his arm, keeping an eye on the IV in her hand to mak sure she was okay.
If her IV backs up again, she might cry louder, Klein thought.
‘Alright, alright, it’s my fault. Don’t cry, honey. If you really want to cry, save it for tonight when we’re in bed, okay?” Klein said, trying to comfort her.
His way of comforting her was way too flirty. Whitney pinched his waist, making him cry out, “You ungrateful girl! You’re he one who screwed up, and I’m the one trying to comfort you. Stop it!”
Whitney smiled. She genuinely felt pampered by Klein.
Klein, do you like me?” Whitney suddenly blurted out.
I’ve wanted to ask him for so long, but I was never sure… What if I’m just overthinking it?’ Whitney thought, her heart bounding.
Klein’s feelings for her were like a spring breeze, brushing against her face, making her feel warm all over.
He could be a wolf, wild and possessive. But he was also her rock, someone she could always rely on.
His love was sudden yet so natural, a kind of devotion exclusive for her.
So this is what it feels like to be pampered, Whitney thought, her heart blooming with warmth.
Klein went stiff, cleared his throat awkwardly, and muttered, “Yeah.”
Quit fooling around,” Klein said, trying to sound stern but couldn’t hide the hint of indulgence in his voice
‘Keep it up and just wait till we get home. I’ll make you pay for it” he added, half teasing, half threatenin
Klein’s threat totally worked. Whitney gave him a little playful shove and retreated under the covers.
Klein, left hanging by Whitney’s sudden retreat, nearly burst out laughing in disbelief. “What are you hiching for? Where do you think you can hide from me?” he chuckled.
Whitney blinked up at him, her eyes clear and innocent. “Okay. I admit it. It’s all my fault
‘I literally just got into a car accident, and this crazy man is thinking about sex? Whitney thought, rolling her eyes
Whitney poked her head out from under the covers, her tone suddenly turning serious. “Enough joking around. Do you know who’s behind all this?” she asked, her eyes searching Klein’s face for answers.
Whitney’s eyes went cold, her voice dripping with sarcasm “Yeah, I know” he said seriously

Just thinking about Laura using the same dirty tricks on her that she’d once pulled on her mother. Whitney renhed h teeth in fury.
Klein listened as Whitney made it all sound so easy, like it was no big deal, but his right hand just wouldn’t stop shaking
What if even one part of Whit’s scheme had gone sideways? Klein thought, a chill running down his spine
Would that mean I’d lose her forever? The idea nearly knocked the wind out of him.
He didn’t even dare to think about how bad things could’ve gotten, and just the thought was enough to make his heart i beat in terror.
He couldn’t face such serious consequences.
Whitney Moore,” Klein called her by her full name. Whitney paused, caught off guard for a moment.
Whitney pursed her lips. She’d just managed to calm him down, but now he looked like he was about to love his temper over again.
And this time, it didn’t look like he’d be so easy to handle.
Klein bit his lips and asked, “When did you find out?”
Whitney’s long lashes fluttered as she whispered, “The night before the wedding”
Klein took a deep breath. He’d even gone to see her the night before the wedding
