Alex took a deep breath and hesitated momentarily before mustering the courage to raise his hand and
ring the doorbell.
The door opened quickly, and Jewel stood there, saying, “You’re back—” As soon as she saw the
bandage on his neck, the smile that had been on her face moments earlier instantly transformed into a
panic. “What happened to your neck?”
However, he said nothing and simply pulled her into his arms. Seemingly, this was the only way for him
to feel even a modicum of relief from the nagging anxiety in his chest.
In the meantime, she was bewildered by his sudden embrace and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Then, Alex took a deep breath and mumbled, “It’s nothing. Just accidentally got cut by a knife. I nearly
couldn’t see you anymore.”
He spoke casually, but Jewel didn’t believe a word of it, and her face became tense, prompting her to
inquire, “Did you get into a fight with someone?”
He sighed helplessly upon hearing this. “Yeah. Some punk was asking for trouble, so I had to use my
fists. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
“Are there any other injuries?”
“No, there aren’t.”
Despite this, she did not believe him, so she squirmed out of his arms and conducted a thorough radar
scan of his body. Her gaze was drawn to his waist, and she reached out to lift his shirt.
Instantaneously, Alex panicked and grabbed Jewel’s hand, teasing, “What are you doing? Trying to get
to know me better? Still, we can’t do that here. How about we get a room?” He purposefully made
suggestive remarks, knowing she would surely blush and playfully glare at him as usual, saying, ‘Who
wants to get a room with you?’
However, she seemed different today. Not only was she not shy, but she also looked directly into his
eyes, her gaze filled with a hint of sharpness. “Let’s go to a room and check it out?”
Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by her aura, so he surrendered and replied, “As you like.”
Soon, she withdrew her gaze and refocused on his waist, inching her hands closer to the hem of his
clothes. Although she had already guessed what it was, when she lifted his shirt and saw the large
bandage on his waist, her heart instinctively tightened, and her eyes turned red instantly. Her voice was
barely audible as she asked, “Who did this?”
Alex could only pull Jewel to sit on the couch, feeling helpless. “Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine. Look at
me. Don’t I look okay now?”
“What do you mean by ‘okay’? Wait for me here. I’ll ask Olivia to take a look at you,” she said as she
was about to find Olivia.
After hearing this, he hurriedly held her hand. “No, it’s not necessary. I just came back from the
hospital. The doctor said it was nothing serious and I needed a few days to rest. It’s late now, so Olivia
must be asleep. Don’t bother her.”
Jewel still hesitated and inquired, “What did the doctor say? Did he say it’s nothing?”
However, Alex reassured her, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing. The neck is merely scratched, and the wound is
superficial. Otherwise, do you think I could have come back? They didn’t even let me stay in the
hospital. They said I could go home and rest for a few days.”
When she heard this, she finally calmed down under the man’s reassurance. “Anyway, Olivia should
still take a look at it tomorrow.”
He agreed good-naturedly and replied, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, my girlfriend!”
She raised her hand and hit him upon hearing those words. “Now you’re listening to your girlfriend?
Who was lying to his girlfriend earlier?”
Alex felt bad but couldn’t argue with Jewel because he knew what she said was correct. Then, he
apologized, “I’m sorry. I was afraid you would worry.”
Nonetheless, she maintained a cold expression and said ferociously, “Well, do you think I’m not worried
now? I’m even more worried. Who hurt you in the first place?”
He hastily grabbed her hand and pressed it against his forehead, feeling heartbroken. What should I
do? I don’t want to lose her.
Ultimately, he simply recounted what had happened today. He mentioned capturing Damian, but before
he could interrogate him, Damian launched a surprise attack when he was off guard. He also talked
about the injury on his neck, which occurred when someone attempted to silence Damian by killing
him, but Alex chased them down and got into a fight, injuring himself in the process.
Jewel furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, “Could Damian harm you like this, given your
superior skills?”
