Scarlett found herself pinned against the wall, her hands trapped by his firm grip.
His sudden words left herpletely bewildered.
She stared at him, her expression nk and confused.
What did he mean by that?
Was it what she thought it was?
She didn’t dare to think further or let her mind wander.
Meanwhile, Hugo felt a burning anger building up inside him.
Did she genuinely not understand, or was she just pretending?
She was usually sharp as a tack, but right now, she seemed anything but smart.

Words failed Hugo at this moment.
His gaze fell on her lips, and impulse took over. He lifted her hands above her head and leaned in to kiss her.
The kiss was aggressive, filled with the scent of tobo, as he imed her mouth with a forceful passion.
Scarlett was even more stunned, her eyes widened in shock, unable to respond, frozen like a statue.
<b>This </b>waspletely unexpected for her, and her mind turned to mush
After what felt like <b>an </b>eternity, Hugo finally released her.

Looking at her flushed lips, his gaze grew even darker.
“Now, do you understand what I mean?” Hugo asked, his voice husky and low.

Scarlett finally snapped back to reality and warned him, “Hugo, if you weren’t holding my hand right now, I’d
definitely p you!”
For some reason, Hugo suddenlyughed.
“Even if you pped me twice, I’d still be okay with it!” Hugo said, his usually yful eyes now serious. 1
regret it, truly,” he admitted.
Scarlett looked at him, remaining silent.
“Scarlett…” he called her name softly, “I’m not asking for a chance because I’ll prove myself. But please, don’t
say things like that again. It makes me angry.”
Scarlett?
Scarlett frowned, “Hugo, get a grip and stop being so gross!”
Hugo seemed to be getting used to Scarlett’s personality.
He chuckled, “It’s alright, the more gross things you hear, the more you’ll get used to them!*
He struggled a bit, “Let go of me.”
Hugo looked at her, hesitated for a moment, but reluctantly released her.
However, just as Scarlett was freed, she swung at Hugo, but he easily caught her raised hand.
“Hugo, you know my skills won’t harm you,” Scarlett said.

“I told you, you’ll get used to it,” Hugo insisted, determined to keep calling her by that name.
Scarlett looked at him, unsure of what to do. She was used to handling tough situations, but Hugo’s
approach left her at a loss.
She tried to pull away from his grip and get up to leave.
But Hugo had no intention of letting go, pulling her closer again. “What did Tiana say to you today?” he
asked.
He hadn’t heard, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t seen.
Scarlett looked up at him, noticing how his face stood out even in the dark night.
That face could definitely lead people astray.
“Want to know?” Scarlett raised an eyebrow.
Hugo’s gaze darkened. “Whatever she said, don’t believe it. Just remember what I tell you.”
“Oh? Weren’t you quite trusting of her before?”
“That was when I was blind.”
Scarlett was speechless.
Hugo was beingpletely shameless!
Dealing with someone like him left <b>Scarlett </b>unsure of what to do.

Breaking free from his grasp, Scarlett walked toward the bed. “Seems like you have a pretty clear
understanding of yourself.”
Hugo followed her. “Yes, my strengths are always quite apparent.”
Scarlett was speechless.
She felt a wave of helplessness wash over her.
Turning back to see Hugo catching up, she frowned. “Aren’t you going back to your own room?”
“Not up for a chat?”
“I’m going to sleep,” Scarlett replied. She really had nothing more to discuss with him. Right now, she needed to sort out her thoughts.
Her mind was a tangled mess.
Hugo’s lips curled into a sly smile. “I could watch over you while you sleep… you know, protect you!”
Scarlett turned back, giving him a forced smile. “Thanks, but no thanks.”
“You’re not scared?”
“I’m scared because you’re here!” Scarlett retorted.
Hugo raised an eyebrow, taking a moment before speaking again. “Rx, this is a hospital… I’m not that much of a beast.”
<b>Scarlett </b>was speechless.
<b>That wasn’t </b>what she meant<b>, </b>okay?

Not wanting to argue further, Scarlett climbed into bed and looked at him. “Get out.”
Hugo knew that if he kept teasing her, she’d really get mad.
He raised an eyebrow. “Alright, get some rest.”

Scarlett ignored him and fell asleep immediately.
Watching her back, Hugo’s lips curled into a smile. He touched his lips with his thumb, feeling the lingering
trace of her presence.
“Goodnight,” he whispered, and then walked out.
He closed the door quietly and turned around to see First standing a short distance down the hallway.
As he looked at First, Hugo’s eyes narrowed.
In a 24–hour diner outside the hospital.
Hugo and First sat across from each other.
Hugo studied First’s face, which was strikingly simr to his own.
Among the three kids, First resembled him the most.
He remembered the moment <i>they </i>brushed past each other outside the hospital. At the time, he wondered how someone could look so much like him. Little did he know, First was actually his child.
<b>It </b>wasn’t a coincidence<b>; </b><b>it </b>was destiny, a bond of blood.

First had been pondering how to start the conversation for a while now. Seeing Hugo smile, his brows
furrowed instantly.
“What are you smiling about?”
His face turned a soft pink, trying hard to maintainposure and calmness.
Despite acting mature most of the time, in front of Hugo, there was still a childlike innocence swirling within
him, almost like a subconscious desire to seekfort.
Hugo looked at him, “I’m not smiling; I’m feeling grateful.”
“Grateful?”
“Yeah!” Hugo nodded, leaning in closer, suddenly asking in a low, serious voice, “First, do you know who I
am?”
First gazed at him, his face tense, and after a long moment, he nodded, “Yeah, I know.”
“That’s what I’m grateful for!” Hugo said.
“You… don’t dislike me?” First asked, his eyes carrying a hint of wariness and caution.
Hugo’s heart felt a sharp pang, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Dislike? Why would you ask that? I barely <b>have </b>enough time to like you, let alone dislike you.”
