At this, Angela’s eyes went wide as she stared at Marco, stupefied.
The thought that the flamboyant, authoritative, billionaire CEO would happily consLeftovers was beyond
belief!
Was this not an act of love? She couldn't deny what was unfolding before her!
Taken aback and slightly embarrassed, Loraine objected, “Don’t make it sound Like I'm starving you!”

Marco's lips curled into a shy grin, his voice barely audible. “Care to joinfor a midnight feast?”

Loraine’s agreement was unlikely. In her state of mild irritation and discomfort, she felt an unexpected tingling
run down her hand. Glancing down, she saw that Angela had silently pulled out the needle. With a cryptic grin on
her face, Angela was now cleaning the area with a sterile cotton ball, watching Loraine and Marco with a knowing
look.
Seeing that odd expression, Loraine finally noticed that she and Marco had been squabbling like playground
children, under Angela’s watchful eyes!
In the presence of Angela, her embarrassment reached new heights.
Theoretically, this was her first visit to this hospital, and her first encounter with Angela. So, why was Angela so
warm towards her, inducing this peculiar feeling?
After the sterilization process, Angela's face broke into a smile. “ALL done. Keep the injection site dry and try to
conslighter meals for a while. Stay calm and steer clear of anger.”
With an awkward nod, Loraine averted her eyes from Angela. The only thing on her mind now was escaping this
place.
Marco, however, was either unaware of the discomfort in the air or simply indifferent to everything but Loraine.

He continued his probing about her health, “Is it safe for her to leave now? Any other precautions we need to
take?”
Loraine was at a loss for words. She wanted to clarify to Marco that it was just a fever and she was alright now.
Fortunately, Angela showed no signs of irritation. Quite the opposite, she replied enthusiastically, “She can leave
without a worry. Just ensure she doesn’t catch a cold again.”

Gazing at Marco and then at Loraine, Angela flashed a mysterious smile and remarked, “Miss Torres, considering
your recent recovery from an illness, it would be more advisable for Mr. Bryant to drive you home, wouldn't it?”
Loraine’s eyes widened in surprise.
Angela was playing cupid! And her intentions were glaringly obvious to all!
Quick to decline, Loraine was about to make her exit, but before she could step away, Marco gripped her hand.
“Loraine, the nurse has a point. You've just recuperated from a fever.
You may feel better, but you might still be weak. It’s not wise for you to head halone. Plus, | wouldn't be
able to relax if | let you go alone.”
Loraine’s reflex was to resist.
