Chapter 353
At that moment, Vincent was awake. His chest was wrapped with a thick bandage while Mila was standing beside him.
As soon as the group entered the ward, Queena rushed toward Vincent, eager to hug him. Upon seeing the bandages, her hands hovered in the air, unsure where to touch. She ended up leaning on the bed and clutched onto Vincent’s hand. Her eyes brimmed with tears, and her voice choked with emotion. “Viner, how do you feel now!”
Vincent felt a headache coming on when he saw Queena, Since he woke up, Mila had been crying by his side for hours, and now here came another person who would do the same. At that moment, he wondered if it would have been better if he was unconscious. Withdrawing his hand, Vincent rubbed his temples and tried to be patient as he reassured her. “Stop crying. It’s nothing too serious. A couple of days‘ rest, and I’ll be fire”
“But the doctor said you broke two
wo ribs! That must be so painful Queena said. As she looked at Vincent’s chest, her nose tingled with sorrow
Upon hearing that, Vincent raised his hand and knocked Queens lightly on the head. “You make my head hurt more.
Queena lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong and murmured, ‘I won’t be willful anymore. I’ll listen to everything you say from now on
“Let’s hope so, Vincent said. Then, he turned his gaze to the rest of the group and furrowed his brows slightly. Where Cameron? Where did he

Baffled. Queena merely shook her headl
Vincent was even more puzzled. He knew exactly why Cameron hat gene there, and even thought he might woept the Litter as Queena’s boyfriend… as time passed. Unexpectedly, Cameron had run off. However, after last night’s evento. Vosent had a new impervion of Haller. He found Hallet calani in times of crisis, capable of protecting Queena. Hence, be thought Hallet would make a good match for Quernu Üruware that Vincent’s opinion of him had improved, Hallet continued to rub has nose as he sneezed.continuously.
“Hallet, I’m sorry about last night. I thought you and “Arnis began to apologize. However, Cynthia vivered his mouth, and draced him out of the wand before he could finish his sentence.
Faced with Arnis puzzled look outside the ward, Cynthia thought for a long while before reluctantly offering a timay explanation. “Vincent is very protective of his sister, Queena. He doesn’t know about Queena and Hallen’s eelationships Don’t spall the secret. We shouldn’t stress him out while he’s recovering”
Arnis furrowed his brows as he pondered. However, he couldn’t quite understand from his open–minded perspective. “Why hide such a beautiful thing as being in love? I tallet is such a great guy and is presentable, too. If I were Queeni. Tal proclaim my relationship with hum
His voice wasn’t exactly soft, so Vincent caught snippets of it. “Who’s in love?” he asked.
Upon hearing that. Queena was so started she stopped crying, and Hallet sneezed again, a big one this time. He hadn’t won over Queen yet, and Vincent wasn’t as Live as Queena Hence, Vancem would see right through his intentions if he found out. To make things worse, Queena would listen to Vincent and end things with him if Vincent were against them together as she felt guilty toward Vincent for what happened Haller couldn’t let that happen and quickly laughed it off. “No one’s in love, you must have misheard”
Outside the ward, Cynthia imminediately pulled Amis further away, “Clusians are more reserved. Unlike you, who jump
jump at whoever you like. “All right, I don’t get it, but I respect it. Arnis conceded reluctantly. “I won’t mention them in front of Vincent again. After hearing Arnis words, Cynthia felt slightly relieved. Then, Arnis added. “My eldest brother knows you’re here. He’s hosting a party tonight at Belleview Manor and has invited you all.”
“What?” Cynthia was surprised. “How did your brother find out?” She disliked such events, especially since the other party was from the Merson family, which likely meant a lot of formalities. This trip was supposed to be about taking wedding photos and having fun, not stress.
“You’ve underestimated the Merson family’s network. The moment you stepped in here, he knew. He intended not to disturb you, but since you’re here, and given our partnership with Sullivan Group, it’s only natural to host you. Arnis explained.
Til check with Liam first. After all, your brother’s main guest should be him,” Cynthia replied.
Then they returned to the ward, and Cynthia relayed the message. Liam raised an eyebrow as this was within his expectations. “We’re here, and not accepting the invitation would be rude,” he said, meaning he agreed to it. After receiving Liam’s positive response, Arnis quickly reported to his brother Since they had to attend the party that night, they needed to dress appropriately for such an important occasion.
Soon, they quickly left the hospital and returned to the manor. Arnis summoned the family’s stylist and prepared gowns for Cynthia and Queena.

After Cynthia changed into her gown, she emerged from the fitting room and shook her head at Queena’s excitement Querna insisted the stylist do her hair. With only one stylist around, Cynthia waited for her turn.
After about ten minutes, Queena’s hair was yet to be done. Feeling slightly bored, Cynthia decided to take a stroll in the garden. Since arriving lasi night, she hadn’t had a chance to four the manor. Meanwhile, Liam was in another room getting dressed Cynthia wandered around the garden alone with her phone in hand. The garden was in full bloom, the air fragrant with flowers, At a comer of the manor was a ponil that housed some goldfish. Dressed in her gown, Cynthia squatted by the flowers, her hair loose over her shoulders. In the warm sunlight, she looked more striking than the flowers around her. She took pictures of the surroundings with her phone before she started playing with the goldfish in the pond.
At that moment, a luxury car pulled up at the manor entrance. A tall, imposing man with deep blue eyes stepped out. He gazed at Cynthia playing- in the garden with his deep–set eyes. His bodyguards stood silently, not daring to make a sound.
After a while, the man signaled for his subordinates to stay put and began to walk toward Cynthia. Next to Cynthia was a rockery, on which water flowed down, covering the sound of the man’s footsteps. As Cynthia placed a freshly picked flower on the water to tease the fish, the man’s hand suddenly reached out beside her
