sure you’re fine by yourself?” asked Vincent worriedly
“Don’t worry. I’m not a child. Stop thinking that I’m so fragile,” grumbled Queena, looking at Vincent’s clothes with disgust before continuing. “Do you know how stinky you are now!”
Vincent glared at Queena helplessly and instantly stood up, conceding. Then, I’ll come back later. The bloody smell on his body was so bad that even he couldn’t stand it.
“All night” replied Queena. After Vincent left, Queena went back to sleep. But the moment she closed her eyes, those people’s faces appeared in front of her again, and the terrifying feeling spread all over her body. She was shocked awake and gasped for air.
Meanwhile, Cynthia and Liam returned to Regalian Garden. It was late at night, and there were no servants in the mansion. After the evening’s incident, Cynthia was slightly tired.
When Cynthia went upstairs, she happened to meet Hallet coming out of the room. “Why are you back so late?” asked Haller
Cynthia casually told him about what had happened earlier that night.
Hallet could barely stand still after hearing this. “What did you say? Queena got hurt?” he shouted
Cynthia was shocked by Haller’s reaction. She looked on as Hallet rushed back into the room and quickly changed his clothes before hurrying downstairs. Before Cynthia could react, Hallet was already on the way to the hospital She shook her head disappointedly at Liam. I was attacked too, but Hallet didn’t even comfort me. It seems like Hallet doesn’t care about me at all.”
Liam stepped forward and held Cynthia’s shoulder dotingly, whispering, “Aren’t I enough!” His deep voice rang in her ear, filling her heart with
sweetness.
Hallet sped all the way to the hospital. After parking his car, he went straight to Queena’s ward. At this time, the lights in the ward were turned off, but Queena couldn’t fall asleep.
When the opened her eyes, she saw someone rushing in after opening the door. Those bad memories flooded her mind instantly. “Ah!” Queena sat up screaming and turned on the light. When she saw that it was Hallet, Queena grabbed the pillow and threw it at him before immediately starting to sob. “Do you want to scare me to death” After saying that, Queena began throwing anything within reach. It was like she was venting something.

Hallet snatched the pillow and was busy avoiding the coffee mug thrown at him. The crashing sound startled even th scolded Hallet, “What’s wrong with you! The patient has a concussion. She can’t get too emotional.
Hallet also felt aggrieved after being hurled stuff at, but he still smiled at the nurse. Til comfort her right now! After the nurse left, Haller picked up the things on the ground before walking toward the hospital bed and wiping off the tears on Queena’s face. “You have a bad temper, commented
Hallet
“Why did you scare met
Queena replied angrily
“All right. All right. You are a patient now, so don’t get too emotional. Ell let you vent your anger when you’re better, cajoled Hallet as he adjusted the blanket for Queena. Then, he helped Queena to bed and whispered, “Cynthia told me that those people had their fingers cut off before being sent to the police station today. They probably won’t get a chance to get out from there. No one will bully you again in the future.
T–Their fingers were cut of?” stammered Queena in shock.
“Well, for those scum, that’s considered a light punishment, scoffed Hallet as he tucked Queena before adding. “So don’t be afraid. I’m here to watch over you?
Queena nodded before closing her eyes. Maybe she was tired or knew that those people had been punished. Although she was still sleep, she slept more soundly than before.
uneasy in her
Vincent hurried back to the hospital in the middle of the night. He looked gloomy when he saw Haller next to his sister. He kicked Haller, who was lying by Queena’s bed, awake. Worried he might wake Queena, Vincent whispered coldly, “Why are you here?”

clearly, he relaxed before
Vincent was pissed off when he heard Haller calling him Vince. “It’s Vincent for you. Stop being so friendly: Vincent had unconsciously disliked Hallet from the beginning. He didn’t know why, but he didn’t like him. At this moment. Vincent felt even more irritated when he realized Hallet had suddenly come over to watch over Queena. But since Hallet was here to visit Queena, Vincent couldn’t be too tough on him either. Vincent could only urge sullenly, “Well, you can leave now,”
Hallet had no intention of leaving at all. He turned his head and stared at Queena, who was still sleeping uneasily, wanting to However, his hand was pulled away by Vincent, who looked at him defensively. “What are you doing?” He looked like he was afraid that Haller

Hallet sighed and withdrew his hand, musing. Vincent is so protective of Queena. I’m afraid I’ll have a hard time pursuing her in the future: Haller suggested. “Vince, how about I stay here tonight? You go back to rest. He did not have much hope of being allowed to stay. As expected, Haller could feel Vincent’s glare on him.
Then, Hallet heard Vincent reply coldly, “I can take care of Queena myself. I don’t need you. If you are idle and like to take care of patients, I can recommend a caregiver job for you in this hospital”
Hallet’s mouth twitched as he lamented inwardly. Vince is a stubborn horse: Finally, Haller was kicked out of the ward by Vincent. Hallet was worried about Queena, so he didn’t want to leave. Hence, he decided to spend the night on a chair in the hospital corridor. This way, if something happened at night, I’ll know it as soon as possible, thought Haller
Fortunately, Queena didn’t wake up again, though she mumbled in her sleep all night
The next morning, Queena woke up in a daze. She looked at Vincent in front of her and was a little confused. “Wasn’t Hallet here last night?‘ she wondered as she looked around the ward. “Where is Haller? Queena asked casually when she couldn’t find him.
Vincent looked at Queena quietly, sensing something fishy going on. “What happened between you and Hallet!” he probed suspiciously, “What do you mean? questioned Queena confusedly.
“What else could I have meant You asked about a man’s whereabouts the moment you wake up, Vincent replied.
Only then did Querna come to her senses, her face feeling a linte flushed. But since she was under Vincent’s scrutinizing gaze, she quickly explained, “Vince, what are you thinking? I’m just curious about when did he leave: After saying that, she fanned herself unnaturally,
Vincent’s doubts did not case when he saw Queena’s behavior, so he secretly decided to find time to ask Liam about what happened to Queena at the border.
