Chapter 1406: 1045: Coming to the Door

Whenever he thought of how she used to care for Easton Ross the same way, he couldn’t feel any happiness, feeling that he would soon lose her. At the dining table. The temperature dropped a few degrees.

He thought about it, yet he didn’t scold her, didn’t question her like before. To avoid losing his temper at her, he simply stayed silent.

"Eat more..."

She picked up some food and placed it in his bowl.

She seemed very concerned.

"..." He was stunned for two seconds.

In fact, Eva Nightingale really noticed that he had changed. She couldn’t quite put her finger on what was wrong, but interacting with him gave her an unfamiliar feeling.

But if the distance was meant to be, let it be. She wanted to keep her distance, yet he insisted on closing it.

After the meal.

The housekeeper brought in the doctor: "Sir, Young Madam, the doctor is here."

The doctors behind her appeared quite old, with seasoned expertise, and they all carried medical kits in hand.

"Hmm." Lucas Knight nodded.

Afterwards, Eva supported him upstairs.

The master bedroom was very spacious. On the bed, while changing the dressing, it happened on the second-floor bed.

Due to the severe shoulder injury, he was sitting while his dressing was changed.

"Let me help." She volunteered, helping him untie his robe and exposing his injured shoulder.

The gauze had traces of crimson blood, indicating that the wound had been affected.

He raised his eyes, looking at the woman.

Eva noticed from the corner of her eye that he was staring at her, but his gaze was too sharp. She didn’t dare to look and felt as if they were in a cold war again.

...

During the dressing change, she was sitting beside him, supporting him, when suddenly his large hand sought hers and held it tightly in his palm.

The doctors, seeing this, dared not say anything.

They could only focus entirely on changing the dressing for the boss.

Once it was all over, by the end, Lucas Knight’s forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat.

"Sir, the bullet in your injury is quite deep; therefore, recovery won’t be so easy. During your recovery, refrain from holding things and the like. Also, I advise sir to rest quietly..." Afterward, the doctors instructed a bunch of precautions before leaving.

Eva went to get a warm towel, wiped his handsome face, and then walked into the bathroom.

Here, in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

That night.

Harry North was checking the premises outside the villa when, out of nowhere, a shadow darted out from the darkness.

"Who?"

He swiftly looked over and saw a woman dressed in black with a Swiss army knife strapped to her waist.

"I’m here to see the little miss."

Jasmine Green spoke with a tone that was neither warm nor cold.

"This place, it’s not somewhere you can just enter as you please." Harry North implied that he couldn’t let her in.

But who knew...

Jasmine went forward with a determined and forceful demeanor.

"Assistant Harry! My family’s little miss is my life. Do you think you can stop me?"

"But my family’s boss is my life, too!" How could he allow her to charge in?

The Crown Prince was still recovering. What if she barged in and did something untoward? The consequences would be unthinkable.

However, Harry North had a rough idea of her intentions and didn’t make things difficult: "The place is heavily guarded. Our Sir’s status is exceptional, and naturally, you can’t get in alone. If you want to see the Young Madam... it might take some time..."

After having just gone through a kidnapping, trouble couldn’t be stirred up again.

Knowing that she was someone from Eva Nightingale’s side, Harry North didn’t intend to make things difficult...

"Assistant Harry, my name is Jasmine Green; if I can’t see the little miss tonight, I naturally won’t leave..."
