Hospital.

It wasn’t until the car came to a stop that Nate Thorne finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Scarlett Adler looked young, but her driving style was completely at odds with her appearance–fast and

fierce.

As they got out of the car, Nate couldn’t help but glance at her. “Scarlett, not to criticize, but I think as a girl,

sometimes it’s better to be gentle!”

Scarlett squinted her eyes. “Gentle?”

“Yeah!” Nate nodded. “What guy doesn’t like gentleness? Aren’t you worried Hugo Hodges might get tired of

you one day?”

Hearing this, Scarlett furrowed her brows.

He was already tired of her; what more was there to worry about?

She rolled her eyes at Nate. “I’ve got some advice for you too!”

“What?”

“Man up!”

Nate was speechless.

He felt a bit insulted.

Watching Scarlett get out of the car, he followed suit, opening the door

tepping out. “Scarlett, I was just

trying to help you out, and you?”

“Well, I’m just trying to help you too.

“You-” Nate started to say something, but as he looked up at the hospital, his brows knitted together. “Why

did you bring me to the hospital?”

“Here for a check–up!” Scarlett Adler announced as she walked inside.

“A check–up?” Nate Thorne raised an eyebrow, watching Scarlett’s back. “What kind of illness can’t I help you

with? Why drag me to the hospital?”

Despite his grumbling, he followed closely behind Scarlett.

Soon, they arrived at a patient’s room, and coincidentally, a nurse was just coming out. Upon seeing them,

she asked, “Who are you?”

Her eyes flashed with a hint of admiration as she looked at them.

Scarlett was already stunningly beautiful, but the man beside her… had an indescribable allure.

How could a man be so beautiful!

“I’m here to visit a patient!” Scarlett replied directly.

“Oh, you’re family then?” the nurse asked with a smile.

Scarlett neither confirmed nor denied.

“Well, it’s nice of you to come, especially when things are tough. Beautiful people really do have kind hearts,” the nurse said, then gestured for them to enter. “Go on in.”

“Thank you.”

The nurse nodded, her gaze lingering a moment longer on Nate.

Nate returned her look with a gentlemanly smile. “Thank you.”

That smile of his had an almost enchanting effect.

The young nurse blushed immediately, covering her clipboard as she scurried away.

“See that? My charm is still pretty strong…” Nate Thorne chuckled, but when he turned around, no one was

there.

Looking closely, he saw that they had already headed toward the hospital room.

“Sigh, some people just don’t know how to appreciate,” Nate muttered as he pushed the door open and

walked in.

Inside the room, Irene Gonzalez lay on the bed, still bearing some injuries wrapped in thick bandages.

Scarlett Adler watched her with a calm gaze.

As Nate approached, he realized, “Isn’t this the woman from the other day…?”

Scarlett nodded.

“You brought me here to treat her?” Nate asked, surprised.

“Lucian Lowe was trying to send her abroad when there was a car accident. He’s using this incident to blame Hugo Hodges for everything!” Scarlett explained.

“And then?” Nate inquired.

“I think there’s more to this than meets the eye,” Scarlett replied.

“You mean-?” Nate prompted.

Scarlett Adler nodded.

Nate Thorne thought for a moment, “This Hugo Hodges thing has nothing to do with me, so I’m not getting

involved!” With that, Nate turned to leave.

But before he could get far, Scarlett grabbed him from behind.

“Hugo Hodges is your problem, not mine. Why should I help him?” Nate asked.

“This whole mess started because of me, so I have to deal with it,” Scarlett replied.

“Then handle it yourself.”

Scarlett paused for a moment, “Okay, if that’s how you feel, then

go

ahead.”

She released her grip.

Nate was taken aback by how easily Scarlett agreed. He turned back to look at her, “Really?”

“Yeah!” Scarlett nodded.

Nate couldn’t believe Scarlett would let him off the hook so easily.

“Are you sure?”

Scarlett nodded again.

The more she acted this way, the less sure Nate felt. He wanted to leave but hesitated, finally unable to resist

Scarlett Adler watched him silently, with a slight smile on her face.

Nate Thorne felt a chill run down his spine at her smile. This woman was like a she–devil; she seemed

innocent and harmless, but you never knew what her next move would be.

“Alright, alright, I’ll take a look, okay?” Nate said, turning to walk over to Irene Gonzalez’s hospital bed.

Scarlett just watched, saying nothing.

Nate did a quick examination and then said, “She’s in a coma, what’s there to see?”

“Is there really no chance she’ll wake up?”

“What for? Even if she wakes up, she’ll be a vegetable. She might be able to talk, but she won’t be able to

move. Living like that is worse than being dead. Who could accept that?” Nate replied.

Scarlett’s usually indifferent eyes narrowed slightly. “That’s enough for me.”

“So you want her to speak the truth? Have you considered what if it’s not what you think?” Nate asked.

“That’s my concern. Just tell me, can you wake her up?” Scarlett asked.

Nate looked at the person lying on the bed, his eyes suddenly more serious. He pressed his lips together,

“Eighty percent sure.”

“Is that enough?”

“If it’s within the golden seventy–two hours, the chances are much better!”

Scarlett Adler’s lips curled into a slight smile. “We’re just in time. Let’s do it.”

“Now?”

Scarlett nodded.

Nate Thorne looked at her, making sure she wasn’t joking before he nodded. “Alright.”

With that, he pulled out an elegant black pouch from his pocket. When he opened it, it was filled with

needles.

Scarlett watched him. “How long will it take?”

“Ten minutes.”

“OK!” Scarlett glanced at her watch. “I’ll buy you some time!” With that, she turned and went outside to keep

watch.

Nate didn’t look up, his skilled hands began working with the needles…

The person lying on the bed had been expressionless, but as Nate inserted each needle, they began to show

signs of response…

A few minutes later.

A nurse and doctor came for a routine check–up. When they saw Scarlett standing outside the door, they

frowned.

“Who are you?”

“Oh, she’s here to visit the patient…” the young nurse said, then turned to Scarlett. “Why are you standing outside instead of inside? And where’s your companion?”

As soon as the nurse finished speaking, the doctor sensed something was off. He glanced at Scarlett Adler with a curious look and was about to enter the room when Scarlett stopped him.

“What are you doing?” the doctor asked.

Scarlett glanced down at her watch. “Just ten more seconds.”

The doctor was baffled. “Ten seconds for what? Move aside.”

Scarlett clearly had no intention of moving.

“If you don’t move, I’ll call the police!” the doctor threatened.

Just then, the ten seconds were up. Scarlett looked at the doctor and smiled slightly. “Sorry, I didn’t mean

anything by it.” With that, she stepped aside.

The doctor gave her a once–over, wondering how someone so attractive could act so strangely.

He pushed the door open and walked inside. But as he took in the scene before him, his brows furrowed…
