Corrine was surprised. She hadn’t thought he’d recall her discussion with Evelyn.

With a quick smile, she assured him, “I’ll manage on my own.”

As they arrived at the hospital, Corrine reached for the door handle, but Nate caught her hand.

Her initial reaction was to pull back, but finding his grip firm, she relented.

“Was there anything else?”

“Don’t forget to apply the ointment regularly,” Nate reminded, his grasp gentle yet firm.

Corrine nodded, again trying to pull her hand away to exit the vehicle, yet Nate’s hold remained secure.

A look of mixed embarrassment and annoyance crossed her face as she stared at Nate.

Nate continued, “I suspect that once you leave, seeing you again might not be so simple.”

His voice was deep and enchanting, imbued with a wistful tenderness that tugged at the heartstrings.

Reluctantly releasing her hand just as Corrine’s patience waned, Nate said, “Please take good care of yourself.”

“Sure,” Corrine replied, quickly exiting the car without looking back.

From inside the car, Nate observed as her figure slowly disappeared into the hospital, his lips curving into a faint smile.

“She really does keep her emotions guarded.”

With a sigh, he started the car, and as the window rolled up, he drove past a black vehicle.

The man inside caught a brief view of Nate’s face, his expression tightening as a complex, dark emotion flickered in his eyes. Nate had returned!

“What are you staring at?” Waldo tried to see what Jayden was looking at but found nothing.

Jayden’s brow creased slightly as he instructed, “Make sure to bring Corrine to Ashton Group after you pick her up.”

“Alright,” Waldo replied.

As Waldo and Jayden entered the hospital room, Corrine expressed surprise, asking, “What brings you both here?”

“We thought you might need some help,” Waldo explained, offering to take the items in her hands.

Corrine, facing the two tall figures, said, “I’m perfectly capable of handling this myself. There’s no need for you to interrupt your busy schedules for me.”

“Nothing is more important than you,” Waldo replied.

Corrine felt a rush of warmth at his words.

She then turned to Jayden, noting his unusual quietness, and wondered if something was amiss back home.

Her eyes shifted back to Waldo, who gave a slight shrug, signaling his own uncertainty.

Once out of the hospital, Corrine headed directly to the Ashton Group offices.

With her resignation letter in hand, she entered the building confidently.
