Upon hearing that gunfire was involved, the bodyguards dashed to her room. It turned out that she was unharmed, but she had
cacross a man covered in blood.
“Miss Presgrave, we don’t know his identity. It’s not safe for him to stay in the sroom as you. Let us take him away,” the
bodyguard said. They could not take the risk of leaving her alone with a stranger.
“No. He saved my life just now. | want to repay his kindness. | don’t want to owe him anything. Take him for treatment first!” Willow
insisted as the man on the couch had already passed out from blood loss.
The bodyguards promptly escorted the man to the medical room for immediate treatment while she stood outside, clutching her
arm. She also informed them about the earlier attempted kidnapping. “It seems that you've been targeted. Don’t worry. We will
provide you with round-the-clock protection,” the bodyguard reassured her.
She had great trust in them. They were not ordinary bodyguards, for they were skilled and loyal to the Presgrave family. The
Presgraves had strict standards when hiring bodyguards, and loyalty was their top priority.
At that moment, the door of the treatment room swung open, revealing a doctor with a solemn expression. “The bullet has been

is a grave situation. We must report it and conduct a thorough investigation into anyone aboard who possesses dangerous

“Okay. Please handle this matter.” She nodded. She never expected someone to bring a gun on board, and she had thrown the
man’s gun into the sea.
In the hospital room, Willow idly rested her chin on her hand and gazed at the man who remained unconscious. Upon closer
inspection, she noticed that he possessed an attractive appearance.

possessed a pleasing countenance. His features carried a timeless allure, complemented by a touch of enigmatic complexity, akin
to a character from a thrilling and mysterious film.

close she cto getting shot while with him, she could not help but shiver. She was still so young and had not enjoyed life to the
fullest. So, she did not want to die.
Just then, Willow noticed a slight bloodstain on his arm. She picked up a tissue and approached him, intending to help clean it.
However, as soon as she touched his arm, the sleeping man’s eyes shot open before his large hand aggressively grabbed her arm.
“Ouch... It’s me.” She sighed. She could not believe how defensive he was, waking up with such aggression. How sensitive is he?
Once the man recognized her, he released his grip on her arm. He lowered his head, looking at the bandaged wound, and spoke
hoarsely, “You saved me?”
“Who else but me?” she replied, gazing at him. The man’s gaze locked onto her before he stood up, intending to leave. She quickly
asked, “Where are you going? You just had surgery; don’t wander around.”
“I can’t drag you into this,” the man uttered. lightly, his eyes fixed on leaving the room. Willow felt an inexplicable determination to
make him obediently listen to the doctor and not strain his wound. She suddenly reached out, pushing his shoulder, and pressed
herself against him, effectively putting him back onto the bed.
The man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at her with a complex expression. “No running around. Since | saved you, you must
listen to me,” she stated. Her intentions were purely rooted in seeking his well-being.
