Linsey’s eyes widened with recognition.

“It was you!” she exclaimed, her voice a mixture of surprise and joy. “You disappeared so suddenly back then. I searched for you for ages. I’m just relieved you’re alive. You were in such bad shape—I feared the worst.”

A warmth flickered in Gorman’s eyes as he took a step closer. “I’ve been searching for you as well, to properly thank you. That’s why I returned to town. Seeing you again… it means everything to me.” His voice was thick with genuine emotion.

Linsey smiled warmly. “I’m happy to see you too.”

After a brief pause, her tone became serious. “But you don’t owe me anything.”

“Just knowing you made it was enough for me.”

Linsey had pieced together the puzzle of the night’s events. With a wry chuckle, she softly added, “So, that five-million-dollar deal… that was your way of saying thanks, wasn’t it?”

It all clicked for Linsey in that moment. Gorman must be the client. She didn’t wait for him to respond before adding, “I really don’t need any form of repayment. If you aren’t genuinely interested in my designs, you should cancel the order.”

Gorman’s eyes met hers, his face a mask of solemnity. Then, with a voice thick with earnestness, he declared, “No. I owe you. You saved my life. Without you, I wouldn’t be here. Besides…”

He paused, leaving his deeper feelings unspoken. Back then, he had been critically injured, convinced he was on the brink of death. Yet there she was, a complete stranger, dedicating her days and nights to his care, never wavering in her hope for his recovery.

Linsey remained quiet, perceiving the weight of what he left unsaid. Nonetheless, she gently shook her head. “Mr. Green, I didn’t do it for a reward. When I helped you, my only wish was for you to survive. Nothing more.”

Gorman moved closer, his determination clear. “Linsey, will you marry me? I want to make you the happiest woman in Grester.”

His unexpected proposal stunned Linsey, almost taking her breath away.

Linsey hastily waved her hands and stepped back. “Mr. Green, please don’t do this. I’m already married.”

Gorman scoffed, his tone icy. “I know. But that cripple, Collin, could never make you happy.”

After confirming that Linsey was indeed his lifesaver, Gorman had initiated a thorough investigation into her background. He uncovered that she had been betrayed by her former boyfriend not long before marrying Collin. To Gorman, Collin was merely a disabled outcast within the Riley family, hardly a threat. He felt certain he could win Linsey over.

Initially, Linsey had been relieved to learn Gorman was alive, but his disparaging remarks about Collin took her by surprise. Her face clouded with displeasure. “I’d appreciate it if you would speak of my husband with respect.”

Gorman’s feelings of jealousy intensified when he saw her defend Collin so vigorously. Gritting his teeth, he proposed, “Linsey, I can offer you everything—money, power, anything your heart desires. Marry me, and it’s all yours. Why cling to Collin?”

Linsey looked at him, shocked by his persistence. Their prior interactions had been minimal, and his desires were irrelevant to her. With this realization, she decided further discussion was pointless.

Taking a deep breath, she replied calmly, “Mr. Green, I’m here tonight to discuss business. If you’re not interested in a serious collaboration, then let’s end this conversation here.”
