"How is he, doctor?"
Phoenix had never felt so worried. It was as if someone was strangling her, and she couldn't breathe.
She finally understood the concern Davon had toward her. She felt so bad even if she just had suffered
it for the first time. But Davon had gone through similar situations for times as he had been caring
about her for so many years.
She hadn't been aware of his deep love. What a pity!
The doctor glanced at Phoenix and whispered, "He is fine. But be careful about the postoperative
infection in the following days. As a doctor, he knows it. Princess Inez, you just need to get someone to
take good care of him."
Everyone in the country knew that the assistant of Mr. Jarrod had taken away Phoenix. Then it was
said that he had died, but now he was right here. So the doctor naturally knew who he was.
"Well, Princess Inez, I'm free these days. So I can stay and take care of him."
The doctor knew exactly how cruel life in the court could be. Since he had known some secrets, he had
to stay until this court campaign came to an end for the sake of his family.
Phoenix knew what he meant. She nodded, "OK. I will get someone to protect your family."
"Thank you, Princess Inez."
He knew that this was the best result for him.
Phoenix got someone to bring his family over, but he did not say anything else.
Davon was pushed into the ward. Zayn had prepared everything inside, which showed that he cared
about Davon.
That was awkward.
Phoenix looked at Davon, who was lying on the bed, unconscious. She felt sorry for him.
Davon wasn't that sturdy type, but thin. Judging from his figure, no one would believe that he was a
skilled soldier. But after his top was taken off, Phoenix saw his muscle and blushed.
Even though she remembered everything, she didn't expect Davon was so hot. How seductive he was!
Phoenix patted her face and walked over.
Davon didn't wake up.
Phoenix touched his forehead and found that he was at normal temperature. She just sat by the bed,
waiting for Davon to wake up.
Phoenix had a lot of things to do, but she didn't want to think about them. Since Zayn said she could
just put it aside, it meant that he was completely prepared. Her men would tell her what Jayden had
gotten. So no matter what happened, it didn't matter to her.
As her loved one was right in front of her, this was her home.
Phoenix wiped him from time to time. Not knowing when Davon would wake up, she just said to herself,
"I don't have a good life, but I only served few people since childhood. And you are one of them. Lucky
guy, when you wake up, we have to make everything clear."
"After what you've done for me, you think you're great, don't you? No! You can't take those I don't know
into account. It occurs to me that you didn't even ask me out before you made me a married woman.
How could you do that?"
Phoenix was so preoccupied with her thought that she did not notice that Davon had opened his eyes
and was smiling at her.
"In addition, your identity is so awkward. What can I do? You are Zayn's brother. What should Zayn and
I address you if we get married? You call him brother-in-law? Or should he call me sister-in-law? What
a difficult question! And how about Mr. Green? You are Nicole's cousin, and she is his wife, which
means I am supposed to call her sister-in-law. But if we get married, she has to call me sister-in-law.
What a mess! Forget it. It will be better if I don't marry you."
"No way!"
Davon's voice was weak but domineering.
"Since we've had the marriage license, you can only regret it in vain."
Only then did Phoenix realize that Davon had woken up. She felt somewhat annoyed when she thought
that she was acting like an idiot.
"You eavesdropped on me?"
"No. I thought you were talking to me."
Davon loved to see a shy Phoenix.
Phoenix felt embarrassed since Davon spoke of the truth. And she had been feisty. So she pinched
Davon's tendon without considering his condition.
"How can you say that? What your wife says is always right, don't you know that?"
Phoenix pinched him hard, but it didn't bother Davon. On the contrary, she was extremely tired.
"Is this your tendon? It's so hard. Is it made of iron?"
"I think you like it."
Hearing this, Phoenix blushed.
"Stop! Don't ruin my reputation. I'm not that kind of girl."
"No, you're not. As for the girl who pushed me down in the bed, do you know her?"
Davon laughed when he recalled what they had done.
"Don't say it! I have no idea who she is. Anyway, it's not me."
Phoenix completely denied it, but her reddened face betrayed her.
Davon stopped teasing her and smiled, "Get me a glass of water. I'm thirsty."
"No. The doctor said that you can't drink water. I can only moisten your lips. Wait a minute."
Phoenix stood up to get some water.
She had done things like these before, but it was before she came back to Country F. She didn't expect
that she would do them again for Davon, but she didn't feel something was wrong.
She moistened Davon's lips as the doctor taught her. But seeing Davon's fixed eyes, Phoenix felt her
heart suddenly beat rather fast.
"You just finished the operation. You should sleep for a while."
"Are you always here?"
"Yes."
She never thought that Davon would pester her like a child.
Davon laughed, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
After all, he had undergone the operation. He couldn't withstand it even though he was strong.
Considering his condition, Phoenix got some servants to take care of him while she went to the kitchen.
She only cooked for few people. How lucky he was!
As she thought of this, she smiled.
When Davon woke up again, he was attracted by the aroma, and he became hungry.
"What is it? It smells so good."
"Millet porridge."
Phoenix gave him a faint smile and brought over the porridge.
It looked good, very thick.
Davon glanced at Phoenix's hand and asked softly, "You did it?"
"What? Are you afraid that there is poison inside?"
Phoenix thought that Davon was worried about her bad cooking.
Indeed, millet porridge was the only dish she could cook. But he could only eat porridge now.
Davon shook his head, "No. I'll cook for you. You don't have to do it for me."
Phoenix was stunned, and soon she felt warm.
"You're a man. I don't think it's good for you to cook."
"It's nothing. Fumes of cooking fires will make you choke."
"I'm not that delicate."
As Phoenix subconsciously retorted, she saw that Davon was giggling, which made her regret what
she had said.
"What are you laughing at? Are you showing off your ultra-white teeth? Stop and eat the porridge."
"Yes, my bride."
Phoenix felt the word bride was so sweet.
"Don't call me that. We haven't held the wedding."
"Are you blaming me for not holding a grand wedding?"
"I didn't say that. Davon, you're misunderstanding me."
What an annoying guy!
Davon became somewhat serious.
"Phoenix, I can't do that, temporarily. My father just passed away, so I have to make everything done
with Kim. We can't have both a wedding and a funeral. So we have to postpone the wedding."
"I understand. I won't blame you."
Phoenix understood what he was suffering. If it wasn't for Leo, the Sawyers wouldn't be there.
"Where's Kim?"
Davon realized that he didn't see Kim. They were so close, so Kim would definitely come to see him
after he was awake.
Unless...
Davon's expression instantly changed.
Seeing that he was nervous, Phoenix calmed him down, "Don't worry! He was with Zayn. Nothing will
happen. Besides, it's good for Kim to kill his enemy. We've underestimated Zayn these years. He is so
powerful, and perhaps it's reasonable for him to be that person."
Hearing Zayn's name, Davon became aware that he was neither in his house nor Phoenix's house,
so...
"Is this Zayn's house?"
"Yes. If it weren't for him, Kim, you, and I would have died. He and his men rescued us. Now they are in
the palace, forcing Leo to abdicate."
Davon was both surprised and worried by Phoenix's words. He struggled to get up, but Phoenix
stopped him.
"What are you doing? You are a patient. Don't you know that?"
"Maybe this is Leo's trap. He is too impulsive!"
Davon couldn't just lie down in the bed.
Phoenix had thought about this, but taking care of Davon was the most important thing. She stood in
front of Davon and said seriously, "He asked me to put aside things about the outside world because
he can settle them. And what I need to do is to take good care of you. So Davon, don't make me
violent."
"Inez, this is not a joke. Get out of the way!"
"No! Davon, do you think you're an indispensable part of this world? Or do you think you're necessary
for everyone? If you help Zayn, do you want to be the regent and tell him how to handle state affairs
after he becomes the king? He is not young anymore. He knows what he is doing."
Phoenix had never known Zayn so better.
Zayn was an unusual, powerful man.
"You trust him that much?"
"Yes. Just like a few years ago, I believed that you could become stronger and protected me."
Phoenix's eyes were firm.
Davon stared at her and suddenly felt his heart flipped. He pulled her into his embrace, kissing her hard
on the lips.
