Chapter 190 No Doubts Left Eric’s gaze deepened as he looked at Kate. Kate moved closer to his touch, her eyes mirroring his worry. George had let Eric know that Kate was the one who first felt something was off and quickly sent aid to the eastern suburbs. Her fast actions saved them from being stuck much longer. While he was out of it, and Davison Group’s stocks were nosediving, Kate stepped up. She did all she could to safeguard him and his business. However, Eric caught Kate’s eye, paused, and gently asked, “Kate, how did you know I was in the eastern suburbs?” He hadn’t told her his plans when he left Starlight Tower. So, how did she figure it out? This question stuck with Eric, making him think hard.. Kate was caught off guard and didn’t know what to say. Should she admit to having memories from another life, where in this timeline, Eric was caught in a blast in the eastern suburbs and trapped under debris for two days? It sounded too bizarre. After hesitating, Kate bit her lip and replied, “I saw you leave.” Her voice was sad, “I won an international design award, Ric, and you weren’t there to celebrate. I figured you had to attend to something urgent, and then I heard the explosion. That’s why I hurried to your side with help.” Eric stared intently at Kate, emotions swirling in his eyes. Kate, however, held his gaze without flinching. Unsure if Eric would take her word, she had no choice but to be honest. Feeling overwhelmed and the onset of a headache, Eric chose to drop the issue, trusting her explanation for now. The tension in the room immersing himself in work. calated again as Eric turned his attention back to his laptop, Sitting silently, Kate eventually voiced her concerns with a hint of hurt, “Ric, don’t you trust me at all?” Her innocent eyes searched his, “Do you really think I could betray you? Is it just a coincidence I was the first here?” 1/2 116 PM ď ď Chapter 190 No Doubts Left Finished Her voice dropped, a mix of pain and softness, “But Ric… I’d never hurt or leave you. I’ve cut ties with Simon and the rest for good.” “We’re married, Ric. We’re supposed to be doing this together. Can’t you let go of your doubts?” She gently took Eric’s hand, her eyes radiating sincerity, “Please, Ric, trust in me.” Eric looked at her, taken aback. Since he woke up, Kate had been nothing but devoted. He’d wanted to confront her about his lingering suspicions but hesitated until now. His instincts urged him to trust her. Yet, the deeper they connected, the more his underlying fears surfaced. He worried about becoming too dependent on Kate, scared she’d leave once she got what she wanted. Torn between hope and fear, he questioned her out of the blue. Her answer surprised him, revealing she always knew about his doubts. Maybe Kate wasn’t as light–hearted as she seemed.

Chapter 189 Are You Keeping Secrets? As Kate exited with the bodyguards trailing behind, Eric’s gaze showed a trace of vulnerability. Miles watched Kate leave, his usual laid–back look turning severe in no time. Breaking the silence, he asked Eric, “So, you’re keeping her in the dark?” His voice had dropped its usual easygoing tone, now carrying a weight of authority. Eric shot him a frosty look and said, “There’s no need for her to get tangled up in this mess.” Miles couldn’t help but let out a laugh and leaned back, throwing in casually, “Man, she’s just my muse.” At Eric’s sharp glance, he hastened to add, “Hey, I’m a family man. It’s all about admiration, nothing shady!” The chat turned towards the MC studio’s current turmoil, with Eric stressing how serious things had gotten. Miles nodded, remembering the CEO’s sudden vanishing after the global design showdown. Eric’s determination was clear as day when he declared, “Anyone laying a finger on Kate is in for a world of hurt.” After their low–key chat, Miles ducked out of the hospital room. At the same time, Kate dropped by to see Lucas and ended up sitting in the corridor with a clue. about the discussion between Eric and Miles. Stepping out, Miles had this aura of intensity, but upon spotting Kate, they swapped it for a warmer vibe, filling her in on their joint project with a smile. He left her with words of encouragement about her designs before taking off, leaving Kate to mull things over. Walking into Eric’s room, she offered to lend her newfound massage skills to help him recuperate. Eric seemed genuinely touched by her gesture, his look softening, blending warmth and a hint of surprise. As he reached out to gently caress her face, appreciating her beauty, Kate caught his hand. Their eyes locked in a profoundly intimate moment.
Chapter 188 Unexpected Outcomes When Eric started looking ticked off, Miles instantly toned it down, stepping back awkwardly before saying, “Hey, just joking, no offense intended.” Kate suppressed a smile as she walked up to Miles, saying sincerely, “Really, I’ve got to thank you, Miles. Without you stepping in when you did, I’d still be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.” She truly appreciated Miles. But after their last call, Miles had just disappeared. He wasn’t at the Davison Group, and no one could reach him at the Lowe Group either. It was like he’d poofed into thin air, which worried Kate. Miles, trying to be chivalrous, said, “Look, you’re my muse and Eric’s wife. It’s on me to prote women from trouble. This mess? It’s my doing, and I can’t drag you into it.” Miles was standing firm. He understood what was at stake with Kate entering that international design contest. Thanks to his help, she’d skipped straight to the finals, catching everyone’s eye. But then, when that clash with Ruth over some design drafts turned into a plagiarism scandal, Miles knew his enemies. would jump at the chance to take him down. A strike against Kate was a strike against him. From where Miles stood, both the Davison Group and Kate had taken hits because of his moves. Kate looked at Miles, feeling a whirlwind of things, and asked, “Thanks for that, but aren’t you worried about what your announcement might do to your company?” Miles, with a flick of his head, confidently said, “Of course! There’s a mess waiting for me at the office.” Settling into a chair and crossing his legs, he said, “While I was away, some punks thought they could cause chaos on my turf.” “In Maridonia, coming out is no big deal. The overreaction in Haldoria and internationally was way over the top. Some folks want to stir the pot.” “So, when I get back, Kyle and I have a few people to straighten out.” Miles wrapped up with a proud tone, “And that MC guy, since their leader wasn’t there, we only ended up causing some damage to stuff. No one got hurt.” This left Kate speechless. She gave Miles a look of sheer disbelief. Despite the chill way he spoke, his words carried an Balance: 1683 + 537 1 Coins= 1 Pearls Chapter 188 Unexpected Outcomes Just some property damage without any harm? Going head–to–head with people? Kate couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly do Miles and his partner Kyle get up to? Her attention then drifted to Eric. Finished Seeing the change in the conversation, Eric stepped in with a colder tone, “Let’s not get into this stuff in front of Kate. We don’t want to scare her off. Immediately, Miles scaled back, the confidence he had just shown disappearing with Eric’s stern words. He awkwardly scratched his head and turned to Kate with a forced smile, “Hey, I was just messing around earlier, muse. No need to take it to heart!” Kate’s feelings were a mix of confusion and curiosity. It was clear she really didn’t know much about Miles. Then came Eric’s softer call. “Kate.” He continued, more gently now, “Lucas needs to check out the footage from our last meeting. Got it on you? Can we show it to him?” Kate took a brief pause, catching the drift of Eric’s request. She responded with a bright smile and tablet, “Sure thing, just say when, and I’ll set it up for you.” With that, she confidently approached the ward’s door and politely asked the bodyguard inside to step outside.
Chapter 187 Unexpected Twists. Ruth was at her wit’s end with Holly’s griping. The fact that Holly’s face was all puffed up and her words were coming out all weird only made it worse. Ruth lost her cool momentarily and blurted out, “How would I know!” Even though Holly kept sobbing, folks passing by couldn’t help but notice her, looking all distressed. Most figured she wasn’t all there in the head. A few brave souls got up the nerve to see if she needed a hand, asking. “Ma’am, do you need any help?” ‘Don’t look at me!” When someone approached her, Holly freaked out, covering her face and stepping back as though she’d just seen a monster. The person who tried to help looked confused, stepped back, and decided it was best to walk away, thinking Holly might have some severe issues. Ruth grabbed her phone like it was about to run away and wanted to hang up on her mom. Trying to keep her calm, Ruth said, “Mom, just come over here. I’ve got a plan. Holly perked and said, “Alright, Ruth, hit me with the address, and I’ll be there be Once Holly got the details, she flagged down a taxi to where Ruth was. you know! On another note, at Silverwood Hospital’s upper floor, Kate stopped staring out the window to watch Holly getting booted from the hospital entrance, looking pretty sidewalk.

The debt. collectors from Davison Group keep their high–interest rates manageable, but hey, at least they keep everything above board. Holly showing up like that seemed to chill everyone out in the ward by the time Kate returned. Eric, who’s not moving around much these days, kept his nose in the paperwork, all serious–like. Kate, meanwhile, was glued to a video call on her tablet. Then there was a knock, and Miles came with this huge fruit basket. “Erc, looking good, man,” Miles said with a grin to Eric. Eric got this look, a bit hard to read, and said, “Caught wind of the bombshell you dropped.” Miles was caught off guard, “Eh, how’d you get wind of that?” After a beat, Eric just said, “Thanks.” Balance‘ 1683 558 1 Coins – 1 Pearls Chapter 187 Unexpected Twists Things got a tad more intense after that unexpected moment.
Chapter 186 Are You Foolish? Holly was seething with anger, throwing insults at Kate, which surprised her. When the bodyguard heard the furious exchange, his face turned stern, and he quickly slapped. Holly across the face. “Ah!” Holly screamed sharply, the sound of the slap echoing in her ears. She looked at the bodyguard in shock, and before she could say anything, she received another firm slap on her other cheek. The bodyguard kept hitting Holly repeatedly until her face swelled up, making it hard for her to speak clearly with blood in her mouth. “Is this how you react when you’re embarrassed?” Kate remarked, her voice dripping with iciness as Holly coughed up blood, her expression one of sheer terror. “What exactly have you done for Summer Estate over the last three years that gives you the right to try and guilt–trip me? To even talk badly about me and Eric. Holly, that’s pretty bold of you.” Filled with anger and fear, Holly was shocked to see Kate watching while the bodyguard kept hitting her. When did she become so uncaring? She thought that she could win over her support by acting like a victim and tugging at Kate’s heartstrings. However, she didn’t anticipate Kate being so cold–blooded. “Get rid of her. She’s bad luck.” Kate sneered and walked off while the bodyguards dragged the battered Holly and tossed her out through the hospital’s back entrance. Holly lay on the ground in a sorry state, hurriedly wrapping a scarf around her face. Even if she didn’t hide it, nobody would recognise her. Remembering how Kate had humiliated her, Holly found herself wishing she could rip Kate’s face off. Buzz… Her phone vibrated in her pocket. With a sense of dread, Holly pulled out her phone, shaking at the sight of the caller ID. Recognising Ruth’s name on the screen felt like finding a beacon of hope. She quickly answered, “Ruth, are they letting you out of the precinct?” On the other side, Ruth had just exited the police station, feeling frustrated at Holly’s words. Why was she being asked about leaving when she was still practically there? Balance 1683 + 558 1 Coins= 1 Pearls 1:16 PM Chapter 186 Are You Foolish? They’re even talking about taking me to court and seizing my stuff!” “They broke in and took everything valuable!” Holly added, her voice breaking- Hearing the panic in Holly’s voice, Ruth’s response was cold, “Where are you right now?” Trying to stifle her crying. Holly managed to say, “I’m at Silverwood Hospital.” “Silverwood Hospital?! What are you doing there?” Ruth’s alarm was evident. Finished Holly found a bit of shade to rest, then explained, “I thought I could get some money out of Kate and confront her. Ruth couldn’t help but laugh, “Thinking Kate would pay out? She’s more likely to insult or smack you than hand over cash!” “Do you realise why I was in the station? All because Kate decided to pin things on me!” Listening to Ruth’s irritated response left Holly confused. After a pause, she tentatively said, “Ruth, is it really Kate’s doing? I heard everything was smooth, and could manipulate her for whatever you need.” you “So, what should I do now?” Holly asked, her voice quivering, mixed with her tears.
Chapter 185 Gratitude or Expectation? Kate looked coldly at Holly, who could hardly contain her tears, then cast her eyes over the disapproving looks from those around them because of Holly’s outburst. She spoke evenly, “Take her to the stairwell.” The bodyguard promptly hoisted Holly as though she were made of glass and made for the stairwell. In a fever of panic, Holly writhed and shouted, “Madam, what do you intend to do… “Quiet!” Kate’s voice was steeped in cool contempt, her gaze issuing a silent threat. “Say one more word, and you’ll be shown the door.” Holly quickly shut her mouth, guided to the stairwell by the bodyguard. As Kate trailed behind leisurely, Holly’s eyes begged for clemency. “Please, Madam, please help me!” Holly was at her wits end. Ruth remained detained, not yet freed from the police station after causing a commotion at the international design contest. A second person, Maia, was also in custody. Holly’s effort to post bail for Ruth had fallen through, leaving her in a financial predicament. Her plea for help to Simon was in vain, as he had severed all ties with her. The debt collectors were unsympathetic to her distress. Faced with legal action if she failed to clear her debts, Holly wouldn’t even open her door. Amidst the upheaval and conflict, she tripped and fell, ending up in a disarrayed state. Begging for additional time, Holly remembered the recent whispers about Eric’s admittance to Silverwood Hospital, where Kate was rumoured to be. Taking her chances, she slipped into the hospital, her face still puffy from the fall, making her unrecognisable to the guards. Yet, she couldn’t manage to approach Eric’s VIP ward. Catching sight of Kate leaving the VIP ward, Holly cautiously approached. With her arms folded, Kate looked on at the tearful Holly without an ounce of sympathy. Her voice was impersonal, “Why should I help you? What ties do we have?” Holly paused, eyeing Kate warily. She faltered, “Madam, I’ve been at your service at Summer Estate for three years. Kate scoffed, “Am I supposed to be grateful for that?” Holly shook, “There’s no need for thanks, Madam. Just a loan of seventy–five thousand dollars.” The bodyguards became tense. Was this woman devoid of sense? Did she not comprehend English? Balance 1683 + 570 1 Coins = Pearls 106 PM ₫ ₫ · Chapter 185 Gratitude or Expectation? return? Finished “Hmph!” Kate’s sneer was contemptuous, her stare sharp as she spoke frostily, “Holly, why should I lend you seventy–five thousand dollars on earth? For your deceit with Ruth, your check at the Summer Estate, and the valuables you’ve stolen from me?” “You ought to be aware of your own position. You were fully aware of your despicable character, yet you still have the nerve to make demands of me. “The audacity you have, coming to me to request seventy–five thousand dollars, is simply astonishing!” Holly’s cheeks reddened at Kate’s words! She had never expected such a lack of respect from Kate, and all her bottled up frustration and anger burst forth, “Kate, you’ve gone too far!” Holly met Kate’s gaze and said, “Do you genuinely think Eric has any affection for you? He’s just amusing himself with you. Who would truly respect a naive heiress like yourself?” “If you refuse to lend me the money, mark my words. Eric will grow bored of you and end things! You might think highly of yourself, but in reality, you’re just a pawn of another woman!”
Chapter 184 Why? The atmosphere in the ward shifted, growing tense. Kate’s mind wandered off, and a sudden blush crept up on her cheeks. She started to stutter, backing away from Eric’s bed, muttering, “Um, I, I gotta use the restroom!” After that, she turned and quickly left. Eric watched her go, a smirk playing on his lips. It was apparent that the VIP ward had its own bathroom. Kate was such a terrible liar. Once outside, Kate headed to the bathroom, splashed her face with water, and took a deep breath to steady herself. Kate, get a grip! So what if they had shared a kiss and some flirty banter? They were married. After all, wasn’t this supposed to be expected? Just let it go. Eventually, Kate managed to calm her racing heart, the blush on her face fading. After self- reflection in the mirror, she finally left the bathroom. “Madam!” Just as she left, Kate heard a cry tearing at her heart. That voice sounded like it was calling out to her. Casually, Kate turned her head and saw a woman in a headscarf quickly approaching her. The two bodyguards didn’t waste a moment, stepping in front of the woman, each taking hold of an arm and questioning her identity with a sense of urgency. “Who are you?” they demanded, one with an intense voice, while the other didn’t hesitate to remove her headscarf. Kate gave a cool look to the woman hurrying over to her. Noticing the familiar face, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Holly?” She then narrowed her eyes at the woman, putting on a show of surprise, ‘Oh, what’s with your face? It looks like it’s taken quite a beating, right?” The middle–aged woman the bodyguard stopped was, in fact, Holly. Balance: 1683 +582 1 Coins = 1 Pearls Chapter 184 Why handprints, and soiled clothes. “Madam, please help me!” Finished Holly was on the verge of kneeling before Kate amidst loud sobs, capturing the attention of everyone around. The onlookers were curious about the scene between Holly’s tears and Kate’s puzzled look. Kate’s demeanour quickly turned ice–cold as she sharply exclaimed, “Shut up! Is this a place to cry? If you’re going to cry, do it at the funeral parlour, not the hospital!” Taken aback, Holly’s crying tapered off for a moment. She attempted to get past the bodyguard to reach Kate but was unsuccessful. Instead, she fixed Kate with a gaze full of desperation and sobbed, “Madam, I’m begging you, could you please help?” Kate regarded her coldly and retorted, “Why should I bother?” Feeling defeated, Holly struggled to say, “Madam, I’ve been loyal to you for three years. Could you consider lending me seventy–five thousand dollars, just for old times‘ sake?” Her pleas grew more desperate, “I’m at the end of my tether here!” Kate’s expression was one of sheer disgust. “So, you’re desperate, and you expect me to help? Do you think money grows on trees?” In fear, Holly kneeled, bowing deeply before Kate. “Madam, I’m out of options. Please, remember the good times and help?” “Ruth’s still locked up, and I can’t get ahold of Simon. You’re my only hope, Madam!” “They’re threatening to sue and take everything I own if I don’t pay up by the end of this week. I’ll be left with nothing,” she sobbed.
Chapter 183 Stepping Out from Your Shadow Kate was fully absorbed in watching Eric’s meeting footage. Even though such materials were supposed to be internal to Davison Group, Kate had access to them as the mistress of Davison Group. As she watched, Kate’s focus drifted from what was being said in Eric’s meeting to Eric himself. This recording was shot three years earlier before they had tied the knot. Eric always presented a stoic face, showing no mercy and being direct in his approach with everyone, his demeanour cold and his decisions final. The staff at Davison Group looked up to him. Eric had this chilly vibe around him back then, like his stare alone could make your blood run cold. No one had the guts to go against him or stir trouble. Watching the screen, Kate felt a strong sense of unfamiliarity with this old version of Eric, an almost tangible pressure. “What’s got you watching this video?” Eric’s voice was even–tempered. Snapping back to reality, Kate noticed Eric watching her closely. She told him straight. “I’m just here. You’re still on the mend, and there’s so much I can pick up from watching this video.” After a moment, Eric looked at her briefly, then said, “You know, you really don’t need to bother with this stuff.” He was about clearing the path for her, removing hurdles and ensuring she was shielded from trouble. He made it clear that with him, Eric, around, nothing wrong would ever touch her. Even with the east city crisis, he had already got Davison Group’s PR team on the job to deal with anyone slinging mud at Kate online, taking them to court if needed and getting bans in place. The PR team at Davison Group always acted on Eric’s word. The team prioritised Kate’s matters even if he wasn’t there or incapacitated. Looking deep into Eric’s earnest eyes, Kate moved closer. She hugged him gently, murmuring, “Ric, I can’t always be in your shadow.” Her voice was gentle yet determined. “I also want to be by your side, to face challenges together rather than just being protected by you, like a vase resting safely on a shelf.” “I aim to gain your trust and support and offer the security you need.” “I don’t just want to be looked after. I want to give back.” Eric was caught off guard by the intensity in Kate’s eyes as he looked at her. Balance 1 Coins: 1683 + 594 1 Pearls Chapter 183 Stepping Out from Your Shadow with no underlying intentions. Finished After a moment’s thought, Eric moved closer to Kate. She felt his warm breath, her heart skipping a beat. Without thinking, she moved closer to Eric, and then… She softly kissed him. Eric, surprised at first, soon gave in, cradling her head gently, making the kiss deeper. His eyes were a mix of emotions. Finally, Eric stepped back. Kate was catching her breath, her lips moist, looking irresistibly charming. With a bashful look, she reminded Eric, “You’re still healing, so… be careful.” Kate didn’t finish her sentence. After saying just those last three words, she blushed and looked away, unable to hold Eric’s gaze. Eric noticed a playful spark in his eyes as he chuckled softly, saying, “It’s alright.” He paused before saying. “Actually, I feel fine.”
Chapter 182 Slander Carries Legal Consequences Under the shade of a tree, a man in a hospital gown sat in a wheelchair. Standing behind him was a petite, delicate girl, and nearby, four bodyguards stood at a respectful distance. In front of them, several reporters holding cameras trembled slightly under the watchful eyes of the black- clad bodyguards, nervously eyeing the man in the hospital gown. Even dressed in hospital clothes and with a faintly pale face, the man projected a dominant and frigid demeanor that deterred others from approaching. The journalists sensed a coldness that struck them deeply. “Ask your questions,” Kate said calmly, seeing the reporters remain silent. Encouraged by her words, one reporter finally said, “Mr. Davison, could you tell us about your current injuries?” The reporter’s voice trembled, and after asking the question, he nervously swallowed, his hands. shaking slightly as he held the camera. Although the camera was aimed at Eric, the reporter didn’t dare to make eye contact with him. Eric’s apathetic stare locked onto the reporter as he answered in a monotone, “It’s nothing serious.” “When will you make a full recovery, Mr. Davison?” “Very soon.” “Mr. Davison, how do you respond to the rumors online that you were critically injured and near death?” “Spreading false rumors carries legal consequences,” Eric replied. “Mr. Davison, with Davison Group’s stock dropping and many companies canceling their partnerships, what are your next steps?” Eric’s eyes turned icy as he stared at the reporter who asked the question. His voice was chillingly. cold. “No comment.” The reporters collectively shivered. The question had come from a female reporter, and under Eric’s frosty gaze, she was so terrified that she fell to the ground, her camera hitting the pavement with a thud. Click! The camera softly click, and the female reporter’s face fell. She nervously bit her lip, holding her expensive camera tightly, almost on the brink of tears. Her camera was quite pricey, and now it was broken!

After winning the international design competition, is there anything you’d like to add?” “Um… I hope there will be increased interest in the collaborative products of Davison Group, Clover Company, and Lowe Group.” “There were many doubts online when you won the championship. How do you plan to address this?” “Slander carries legal consequences. The truth speaks for itself. Those who believe will believe, and those who don’t, cannot be forced to.” After several minutes of questioning and taking photographs, the journalists departed feeling. satisfied. However, the news that Eric’s injuries were not serious had already spread causing the stock price of Davison Group to become more stable. After seeing off the reporters, Kate pushed Eric around the ground floor for a couple of laps. before returning upstairs. Eric’s head injury wasn’t severe, and with ongoing matters at Davison Group needing his attention, he brought his laptop to his room and started dealing with business affairs. Meanwhile, Kate stayed beside Eric, quietly watching videos involving him. Upon hearing the noise, Eric glanced over to find Kate watching a video from a meeting he had. attended. Maybe… George had located it for her?
Chapter 181 Interviewing Mr Davison Eric was feeding Kate an apple by hand, so her lips unintentionally brushed against his fingertips. His eyes darkened instantly. The soft, warm touch of her lips on his fingers made his heart race. Especially when her tongue accidentally grazed his finger, it felt like an electric shock, and he quickly pulled his hand back. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of his chest. Awkwardly, Eric looked away, but his earlobes were already turning red. Kate didn’t notice his reaction. She casually forked another piece of apple and fed it to him, and he obediently ate it. But his fingers still instinctively curled slightly. Kate fed him half an apple, then looked up at the scenery outside the window and suggested, “Ric, how about I take you downstairs to enjoy the sunshine? It looks really nice today.” Eric had been lying in the hospital bed for almost ten days. Since today’s check–up showed no major issues, Kate thought it’d be a good idea to take him for a walk. After all, Eric’s legs hadn’t healed yet, so he was still confined to a wheelchair. Eric furrowed his brow slightly, instinctively wanting to refuse, but seeing the hopeful look in Kate’s eyes, he nodded in agreement. Kate happily called for the bodyguards. Once Eric was securely fixed in the wheelchair, she pushed him downstairs. They were accompanied by four bodyguards closely, with another ten spread out around them to ensure their safety. After all, Boss was recuperating from his injuries and unable to fight, while numerous eyes scrutinized their every move. Just as Kate had said, the sunshine outside was wonderful, casting a warm and soothing glow. She guided Eric along the path, engaging in casual conversation. The sunlight on Eric’s figure alleviated some of his chills, softening his typically reserved. behaviour. “Hey, it’s Mr. Davison of Davison Group!” a voice suddenly exclaimed. Kate instinctively turned towards the hospital entrance and spotted a reporter with a camera, enthusiastically calling out to them. In an instant, the reporter hurried towards them, camera in hand.

Intimidated by the bodyguards, the reporters hurriedly clarified, “Please understand, we’re only here to interview Mr. Davison! There hasn’t been any news about him for too long” Kate frowned and looked at Eric apologetically. “I’m sorry, Ric. If I had known they’d find us, I wouldn’t have suggested coming down.” She felt frustrated, never expecting reporters to be staking out the hospital entrance at this time. and rushing over to interview Eric. Eric had always disliked interviews and having his private matters exposed. Seeing Kate’s distressed expression, Eric’s eyes darkened slightly. Then, he spoke calmly, “It’s okay. shifted His gaze to the reporters, and he instructed the bodyguards calmly, “Let them come a bit closer.” As soon as he said this, Kate and the bodyguards were stunned. Kate instinctively tried to object, “But Ric, right now you TH Eric placed his hand gently over hers and said softly, “It’s okay, Kate.
