outside the window and subconsciously touched the ring on his finger.

I realized only after feeling empty that he had returned the ring.

Keith handed over water and medicine: "Mr. Caden, it's about time."

Caden stood against the backlight, expressionless, and swallowed the medicine. His deep black eyes,

like dark pools, narrowed slightly, emitting a chilling and bone-piercing coldness.

"Let's go."

Open the door, flowers pave the way, a romantic and joyful atmosphere fills the air, and the wedding march slowly plays...

On the other side.

as they got in the car, the two of them slumped down in the back seat of the taxi.

In less than five minutes, Audrey fell fast asleep.

Although Beatrice was very tired, she couldn't fall asleep at all. When she adjusted her posture, the charm in her pocket fell under the seat.

She reached out and touched it for a while before picking it up. As she inspected it against the sunlight outside the car window, the taxi came to a stop, aligning with the wedding car beside it.

An unexpected ninety-nine seconds of red light.

Beatrice was attracted by the sunflowers on the wedding car, she raised her eyes slightly and

unexpectedly met the pair of black eyes inside the car window.

Caden.

In that moment, it seemed as if everything had already come to a standstill.

No words, no expressions, only the complex gaze fluctuating and eventually settling down in the dwindling time. The green light lit up.

Beatrice watched as the man's car drove away.

I heard that after the wedding, Caden and Bella will fly directly

And Beatrice... turned left.

a private island for their honeymoon.

When she got home, Beatrice saw a familiar face downstairs.

Lacey.

She wore a

black long dress, with sunglasses on, leaning against the car door and smoking a slender lady cigarette. The expression on the face remained as cold and indifferent as when we first met.

"Beatrice, I was leaving."

Hmm, Beatrice nodded, a distinct scent of perfume lingering around her.

Lacey took a puff of her cigarette and said, "My mom was sent to a mandatory rehab center, arranged by Mr. Caden. I guess that old man doesn't want anything to do with us now."

"Um."

Beatrice held her cane and didn't know what to say.

Lacey looked up and down at her outfit and joked, "I thought you were going to elope, but I didn't expect you to go mountain climbing." "I wasn't crazy like you," Beatrice pouted.

Lacey flicked her cigarette and chuckled, "Whether you believe it or not, I, for one, don't believe Mr.

Caden willingly married Bella." "He has already gotten married, now they should be boarding the plane for their honeymoon," Beatrice said, lowering her gaze and gripping her cane tightly.

Lacey put out her cigarette and opened the car door, "I still don't believe it. Actually, I've had a question I wanted to ask you."

"What?"

"Do you really believe in him before giving him the choice?"

No, she never believed Caden.

Lacey clearly saw the answer in her eyes and said lightly, "I'm leaving, goodbye."

Beatrice stood still, watching her leave.

A month passed by in the blink of an eye.

Beatrice still went to the hospital for rehabilitation training as usual.

After changing doctors, the new treatment plan proved to be very effective for her.

Now her hand grip is no longer a problem, but she still cannot perform fine movements and needs to continue rehabilitation.

"Ms. Lindsey, you can move your hands a little bit now," the doctor said.

"Okay."

Beatrice got up and rubbed her fingers.

The doctor continued, "Dr. Goodman used to come every other day to ask about your condition, he was even more anxious than you."

Beatrice's hand paused for a moment, and she smiled, "I will thank him later.

After leaving the rehabilitation room, Beatrice went straight upstairs to Brend's office.

When the door was knocked, Brend seemed to not notice, so she pushed the door open and happened to see Brend on a video call.

"Are you still okay now?"

"Dr. Goodman..."

Beatrice and Brend spoke almost simultaneously.

When Brend saw Beatrice, he was clearly flustered and dropped his phone on the ground when he turned off the screen.

He quickly picked up his phone and clicked his tongue, saying, "You scared me:"

Beatrice had never seen him like this before and asked curiously, "Who are you video chatting with? It's so secretive."

"Just one patient, I have to protect the patient's privacy," Brend emphasized.

Beatrice

didn't ask any further

questions and said, "I heard that you care about me, thank you."

"We are friends, so it's normal to care about each other." Brend glanced at the time. "Have you had dinner? Do you want to have it together? I have ordered some dishes to be delivered."

Just as they were speaking, someone knocked on the door.

"Dr. Goodman, your food has arrived."

After speaking, he untied the bag and placed the vegetables on the table. Beatrice thought to herself that since she was going home 1 will give him another cup of coffee later to thank him for this meal. When she divided the food into bowls, Brend had just opened the lid of the braised carp, and a strong smell wafted

up.

Beatrice immediately frowned.

"What's wrong?" Brend asked.

"Did you not burn it properly? It doesn't smell quite right," Beatrice rubbed her nose.

Brend flipped over with a fork and clicked his tongue, "Quite the business person, with the slightly burnt side facing down. But your nose is sharp enough, I didn't even smell it."

Beatrice thought for a moment, "I guess it's because I have been cooking for myself lately, and my cooking skills have returned."

Brenda smiled and let her eat other dishes.

eating,

Brend hesitated and said,

"Recently... how have things been with Mr. Soder?"

Beatrice took two bites of rice and nodded, "It's good, we have similar personalities and get along well."

She and Odin didn't break up in the end.

During a month without any disturbance, the two of them got along comfortably.

Beatrice gradually began to forget some things.

Odin was not the kind of person who beat around the bush. If he didn't care, he would never mention it,

and if he did care, he wouldn't force himself or others.

"That's good." Brend's expression was a bit strange.

"What's wrong?" Beatrice raised her gaze to look at him.

"Well... it's nothing, as long as you think it's good."

Brend lowered his head and continued eating.

After finishing the meal, Beatrice helped him tidy up a bit, ordered him a latte with her phone, and then prepared to leave. Brend called out to her, "Won't you sit for a while longer? It's my break time anyway." "No, I had something else to do."

"What happened?"

"I worked up a sweat during today's training session. I have plans to meet Mr. Soder this afternoon, so I need to go back and take a shower and freshen up, Beatrice said, pointing at her sportswear. Brend's eyes darkened, and he remained silent.

Beatrice left the office.

The office door closed slowly, and Brend picked up the phone that was secretly standing in the corner of the cabinet. Brend remained silent for a while, looking at the man on the screen.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, I said, "Have people seen it? Have they heard the voice? Is it better now?"

"Um."

The man's voice was low and deep, revealing his exhaustion.

"When did you come back?"

"It was fast."

After Beatrice came home, she took a shower and changed into a new set of clothes.

Odin happened to come to pick her up.

In the afternoon, the two of them went to watch a movie together. During dinner, Odin mysteriously said that he wanted to give her a gift. Beatrice thought he was going to give her flowers again.

"Mr. Soder, there was really no vase in my house to put flowers in, please forgive me."

"Flowers? I suppose so, Odin chuckled with a meaningful smile.

Beatrice didn't think much either, she just calculated that she would check if there were any supermarkets selling vases on the way back later. After dinner, Odin said he wanted to take a walk.

Beatrice followed him to the backyard of the restaurant.

There were many lights arranged around, making it look very dreamy.

There were only the two of them, surprisingly, and no other guests. "Why is there no one?" Beatrice asked curiously.

Odin stopped and looked at her solemnly, "Because today was only open for

Odin, on the other hand, stared intently at the woman in front of him.

No matter how beautiful the fireworks were, they couldn't compare to the smile of the woman in front of

The shimmering water at the bottom of the eyes, with just one glance, captivated people and made it impossible for them to extricate themselves.

Odin reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding up a diamond ring in front of her.

"Beatrice, will you marry me?"

Beatrice looked at Odin in confusion.

She had never thought that Odin would propose to her.

When she came to her senses, Odin had already lifted her hand and was ready to put on the ring.

It can be seen that Odin put a lot of thought into selecting the ring. But can she really afford it? When the ring approached her finger, Beatrice curled her finger slightly. Odin paused, sensing her concern. "Beatrice, trust me."

Odin looked at Beatrice for a long time without a response, feeling a bit down, he said, "Beatrice, I won't force you." Beatrice, however, raised her other hand and said, "Wear this hand, my other hand is not fully healed yet and needs rehabilitation training, so I

"Master! Wear the ring!"

"Yes, yes."

The usually composed Odin seemed somewhat at a loss.

He lifted up Beatrice's other hand and put a ring on her index finger.

Keyon rubbed his forehead and said, "Sir! You're wearing it wrong!"

Odin gave a light cough and finally managed to put on the ring correctly.

Beatrice couldn't help but laugh as she watched the two of them.

"How long have you two been busy?"

"Not long." Odin said calmly.

Keyon patted the leaves on his body and said, "Not long ago? We started preparing a week ago, and we rehearsed all day yesterday. The young master said you don't like being watched, but we couldn't have no ceremony at all, so we arranged fireworks. Now the whole city is guessing who set them off." Beatrice had just thought about telling Keyon not to spread the news when Odin spoke up, "There's no need for anyone else to know, we know it ourselves. Beatrice is still undergoing hand rehabilitation and being constantly watched is not good for her either." Keyon nodded, "I will keep an eye on the online news. If someone takes a picture, I will have it removed. Well, I'll go and attend to my tasks now, you two can continue."

After saying that, he slipped away.

Beatrice, like many girls, lowered her head and looked at the ring: "It's too big, I dare not wear it out." "Is it big? Actually, I originally wanted to get a 20-carat one, but I knew you don't like anything too flashy, so I chose this smaller one.

Island.

Keith walked into the room with breakfast.

"Mr. Caden, it's time to eat."

The man sitting at the end of the bed shifted his body and slowly raised his head. Sweat slid down his tense muscles, and his deep eyes were filled with endless darkness.

"Let it go."

The hoarse voice was so low that it couldn't even warm up the sunlight on the island.

Keith put down his breakfast and immediately handed over a towel, continuing, "As soon as Lucia got off the plane, she was taken away by a stranger. Even the Guerrero family doesn't know where she is. What if Lucia says something she shouldn't..." Čaden took the towel and wiped his sweat, saying, "It must have been directed at me."

"I will continue to send people to search," Keith said, glancing at the red mark on Caden's wrist, his lips tightly pressed. Caden got up and walked to the table to have breakfast.

Caden's knife and fork paused in his hand, then slowly fell down.

"Yes."

Keith turned around and left.

Caden put down his knife and fork, walked to the side of the bed, and pulled open the bedside table to

Perhaps because he was too focused, Caden didn't even notice someone approaching him

Everyone envied her wedding and also envied that she could rent an entire island for over a month for her

But no one knows, until now, she and den still sleep in separate rooms.

Caden's concern about her health left her powerless to argue.

Bella entered the room and started crying in pain, covering her face.

Due to emotional fluctuations, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest and, in a panic, grabbed the medicine

box on the table and stuffed several pills into her mouth.

Afterwards, the person collapsed onto the sofa and breathed slightly.

The mirrored crystal chandelier on the ceiling reflected a pale and feeble appearance.

He really seemed like a poor thing.

Bella bit her lip tightly, and after a moment of thought, she took out her phone and sent a message to

Angie.

"Angie, we were ready to go back."

"Why don't you stay a few more days? I heard that the weather on the island has been particularly good

recently, perfect for a vacation and a chance for you newlyweds to have some alone time."

Angie let Bella and Caden play for a few more days, not caring about Bella.

But they hoped that Bella would get pregnant within this month.

In this way, Bella would be able to secure Mrs. Baldwin's position.
