?Chapter 1116:


    “Ah!” Ynda, who had been frozen in shock, suddenly came to her senses and let out a shrill scream. She rushed forward to help Brendon up, her voice trembling with concern. “Are you all right, Brendon? Does it hurt badly?”


    “I’m fine.” Brendon ground his teeth, straining to hold hisposure, though it felt as if every bone in his body had splintered apart. That damn Christina—she struck him so hard! By now, Christina’s figure had vanished from sight.


    “We should go to the hospital, just in case your bones are injured,” Ynda urged, her tone filled with worry.


    At that moment, Brendon suddenly recalled Christina uttering the word “hospital” during her earlier phone call. At first, he believed nothing was broken and had no intention of going to the hospital. But the thought that she might be there shed through his mind, and he instantly put on a show of agony.


    “We should head to the hospital now. I think a bone might be fractured,” he said with feigned suffering.


    “Alright.” Ynda slipped an arm under his shoulder to support him into the car, unaware that his pain was an act.


    Once at the hospital, Christina stormed down the corridor and burst into Dn’s room. As she stepped inside, she caught sight of a tall figure with his back to her.


    “Dn!” she called out, her voice edged with urgency.


    Still wound tight with tension, she hurried toward him, oblivious to anything unusual.


    “Where does it hurt?” Her eyes roamed over him in concern, never noticing that Dn had already slipped back into his old demeanor.


    “I’m fine.” He reached out and gently took her hand, his tone tender. “Chrissie, you’ve endured so much these days.”


    Christina’s body stiffened, and she slowly lifted her gaze to meet his. His manner was much the same as before, but the innocence of recent days was gone. His eyes no longer carried their childlike rity.

    “You… you’ve recovered?” she asked hesitantly.


    “Yes,” Dn replied, holding her hand tightly, unwilling to let her slip away.


    After a brief silence, Christina asked, “Do you remember everything?”


    “Yes, I remember it all. You’ve worked so hard—caring for me and managing mypany,” Dn said, his eyes fixed on her. He wanted to carve her image deep into memory.<fn03f6> Follow current nov?ls on find~novel</fn03f6>


    As their time together these days reyed in her mind, Christina’s cheeks warmed with pink. The heat of his hand made her feel flustered. Her heart pounded wildly, as though it might burst free.


    Almost instinctively, she tried to pull her hand back, but Dn refused to let go.


    “I’ll call the doctor to check on you,” Christina said. It was only an excuse. She felt embarrassed and wanted to escape Dn’s gaze, if only for a moment.
