The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 338

She immediately stands and forces him toward her bed. "Lie down right now, and take this pill."

He is hurt far worse than she is, yet he stayed awake guarding her bedside. Her chest tightens with a warm surge of emotion. Fortunately, she carries her own custom medical supplies. Even if he had broken bones, this specialized pill will heal him by seventy or eighty percent within a week. Once they get back, she can mix a targeted serum to have him completely back to normal in a fortnight.

Her formulas are far more effective than the black-market healing pills Jade used. Though she hasn't traced Jade's supply chain yet, she knows it is directly tied to the Alchemist Foundation. It is only a matter of time before she exposes them.

"Alright. With you taking care of me, I feel much better," Danny says smoothly.

Swallowing his pride—and the pill—he leans into the pillows, immediately adopting the persona of a helpless, fragile patient. He realizes that having a valid excuse to be pampered by Tara is quite the perk.

"Tara, could you grab me some water? My arm is pretty useless right now," he asks.

The ruthless tycoon vanishes, replaced by a devastatingly handsome man playing the damsel in distress. Tara instinctively wants to refuse, but she dutifully hands him the glass. After all, he took the brunt of the crash for her. Fetching a drink is the least she can do.

His expression darkens as he listens to the caller. "I had my team look into it," he tells her, his tone dropping. "It really was my uncle Garrison."

"Why would he do that?" Tara frowns. "Just because we're business partners now? He wants to take us both out?"

It doesn't make sense. Her company is new and relatively small, despite its recent spike in popularity. She never used the Dennis Group's name to back her operations. A shrewd, calculating man like Garrison wouldn't even bat an eye at the Dennis Group, let alone waste his resources plotting a lethal hit on her startup.
