Chapter 274 Compensate With Sincerity
Lloyd was overjoyed. “Ms. Koch, you came back just in time. Mr. Delacruz has
just woken up, and I fed him some water. The doctor said that his condition is
not serious, but he has suffered a minor concussion and some abdominal injuries. He needs to be observed for a few days.”
Aylin glanced nonchalantly at the man on the bed.
“What did the doctors say about potential after-effects?”
“Nothing.”
Hey, looks like it was not completely over for Gavyn either. Aylin still cares a lot for him!
Lloyd felt happy in his heart. For fear that he would be disturbing the couple’s reunion, he took out his phone and pretended to reply to a few irrelevant messages. He then continued, “Well, Mr. Delacruz, I have something to deal with at the company, so I have to go back and have a look. Please have a good rest. Call me if you need anything.”
Gavyn hummed quietly in response.
With that, Lloyd slipped away quickly as if there was oil rubbed on his feet.
As soon as the door was closed, only Aylin and Gavyn were left in the huge ward.
There was an awkward silence between them as their eyes met.
Gavyn was currently dressed in a hospital gown, wearing a pair of blue and white striped pants. His lips, which were quite pale due to blood loss, were slightly pursed, which made him look inexplicably fragile and soft.
“You…”
“I’m sorry.”

Aylin’s expression was grave as she nodded solemnly. “I’m sorry that you got
hurt because of me.”
Gavyn pursed his lips tightly.
He was not stupid either. There were not many people in New York who hold a grudge against him and dared to lay a finger on him.
He didn’t need to think hard to be positive that it was done by some guy close to Aylin.
Gavyn raised his dark orbs, his eyes calm. “Is it Harry, Robert, or Ryker?”
Aylin lowered her eyes slightly. Since she was aware of the truth, she couldn’t
pretend that she didn’t know and hide the truth from him.
“It’s Robert Gardner.”
“I knew it.” Gavyn’s handsome eyebrows frowned slightly as he sneered.
“What exactly is their relationship with you?”
Gavyn had sent countless people to investigate their background, especially
Harry, but there was nothing to be found. Waylon was even the one who told
him about Robert’s identity.
He was very irritated as Aylin was surrounded by so many men of unknown
origins.
“He’s my brother.” Aylin paused for a moment and continued “But this is all I
can say.”
Gavyn didn’t say anything, but his expression was obviously unhappy.
Brother?
Looking at their gaze full of hostility, no one would believe the statement that they only regarded Aylin as their sister!

Besides, Aylin had so many brothers, and they were all not from the same
parents.
Who knows what they had in mind!
The thought of another man being able to get close to Aylin but not himself made Gavyn’s wound ache with anger.
Noticing that he was unhappy, Aylin couldn’t help but worry that he would settle the score with Robert.
She cleared her throat and sat down on the edge of the bed. “I apologize to you on behalf of my brother. He was too reckless in this matter. I hope you don’t
mind.”
“As for the injury that you suffered, we are willing to make it up to you as much as possible.”
Gavyn’s eyebrows twitched. Raising his eyebrows, his dark eyes traced the woman’s features.
“How are you going to make it up to me?”
Without hesitation, Aylin replied, “How much money do you want? You can directly state the amount. The Koch family will fully cover your medical bills. As for future collaborations, I can offer you two percent of the profit.”
This was already a huge compromise for a businesswoman.
Unexpectedly, Gavyn snorted coldly. “Do you think I’m short of money?”
“Then you…”
“If you want to make up to me, show me some other gestures of goodwill.”
Aylin’s heart skipped a beat when he met Gavyn’s deep eyes. “Other gestures of goodwill? What kind of goodwill do you want?”
Gavyn did not answer her directly. Instead, he supported himself with his

elbows and tried to get up, but he had to withdraw his hand because of the
pain.
“Hiss…”
Aylin frowned and asked, “You hurt your hand too?”
Gavyn pulled up his sleeves, revealing a large patch of bruise, which is a
shocking sight. “I want a cup of hot water, but my hand…”
Robert really went too far and acted so ruthlessly!
Aylin couldn’t help but frown at this sight. Seeing that Gavyn was about to get
up again, she held him down with one hand and said, “Don’t move if your
hand is injured. Sit down. I’ll get you some water.”
Aylin did everything so naturally. Her series of actions reminded Gavyn of how she had taken care of him before they got divorced.
She was gentler then.
However, it’s rare for her to be gentle now.
Looking at the woman’s slender figure, the corners of Gavyn’s lips gradually curled up.
Soon, Aylin returned. As soon as Gavyn saw her enter, the smile that unconsciously appeared on his face immediately disappeared. It disappeared so fast that Aylin thought she was hallucinating.
“Here you are.”
Gavyn subconsciously accepted it with his left hand. Aylin raised her eyebrows and said, “It seems that your left hand is fine. That’s good.”
Gavyn paused slightly, secretly regretting his actions.
He forgot to restrain himself and subconsciously picked it up with his left hand.

Very soon, the glass of water was emptied. Gavyn’s dark orbs glanced at the table and coughed lightly. “I want to eat an apple too.”
There are fruits in the intensive care unit.
Gavyn was a weak patient at this moment. With an apologetic heart, Aylin didn’t refuse him. She took the apple and knife from the fruit basket and started peeling them skillfully.
The woman lowered her eyes slightly, her expression focused.
Gavyn simply stared at her like this quietly. Her delicate features – glossy eyes, delicate and sharp nose, and finally her pink petal-like lips.
His deep eyes darkened.
Was Aylin also like this when she was in the Delacruz’s home? She looked
