At night, the darkness enveloped everything.
In the bedroom, a bedside lamp still glowed, casting a warm yellow light throughout the room.
The two who hadn’t seen each other for a long time hugged tightly, recounting what had happened to each other during this time.
When Kelvin learned about the news that his daughter Cierra had almost gone missing, he felt immense guilt.
He hugged Cheyenne tightly, looking into her eyes and said, “You must have been very worried when you were hurt, and our daughter went missing. I wasn’t at home… I’m sorry, Cheyenne, I failed to protect you both.”
It wasn’t just worry; she was on the verge of collapse, but Cheyenne still managed to hold herself together.
“I felt terrible. If it weren’t for Iker helping me all the time during that period, I might have really been disturbed by the other party.”
Although Kelvin subconsciously felt a little jealous when he heard these words, he knew he should blame himself for not thinking carefully enough and taking actions too rashly.
Kelvin never expected that those people would take advantage of his family while he was away.
“What about you? You don’t have any feelings for that woman named Kiara?”
“Living out the rest of your life in such a beautiful place, working during the day and resting at night doesn’t seem bad, does it?”
When Kelvin heard this, his face darkened with anger, and he angrily bit her lips.
“You little rascal, do you want to push me to someone else?”
“I… of course not, I’m just respecting your choice, aren’t I?” she said with a double meaning.
Kelvin’s spine shivered at the thought of Kiara, his eyes filled with disgust.
“Such a treacherous woman, even if she looks like a fairy, I don’t want her. Her previous husband was bitten to death by a venomous snake she released.”
Upon hearing this, Cheyenne couldn’t help but admire the woman’s methods.
“Well, let’s not talk about her. Let’s talk about Cheche. It’s unbelievable that parallel universes actually exist.”
“If I have the chance, I’d like to see what the other me who lost control looks like.”
She hadn’t seen it, but Kelvin had.
Thinking of Cheche, a smile finally appeared on his handsome face.
“Just as mischievous as you were when you were young, and also learned some medical skills. She’s a kind, smart, and lovely little girl.”
His praise for Cheche was also praise for her. Cheyenne felt uplifted upon hearing this and kissed him on the cheek.
“You know how to talk. Alright… it’s getting late, let’s sleep.”
“I don’t know if there are any other side effects of Golden Silkworm Magic in your body. Tomorrow, we should go to the hospital and I’ll personally examine you.”
Kelvin turned off the lamp with one hand and quickly pulled the blanket over them with the other.
“Honey, come to bed quickly.”
“You have injuries now, don’t think about doing anything.”
“Cheyenne, where are you thinking? I just want to hug you to sleep, that’s all. As for anything else… if you want, I can reluctantly do it.”
Cheyenne chuckled and rolled her eyes elegantly in the darkness.
“Thank you, Mr. Foley, you don’t have to reluctantly do anything.”
Kelvin mischievously blew a warm breath in her ear.
“I’ll never force you.”
Perhaps it was because of the separation that Cheyenne felt her heart stirred by him, then immediately felt ashamed of herself.
As someone who had seen all kinds of handsome men, how could she be so easily tempted?
So she forced herself to close her eyes and declared, “I’m asleep.”
Kelvin burst into laughter, he hadn’t really wanted to do that kind of thing, just teasing her.
He was able to return safely, and falling asleep while holding her was already a very happy thing. In fact, he hadn’t slept well for over a month, always waking up in the middle of the night.
Now feeling the warmth and softness in his arms, smelling the familiar scent on her body, he finally had a long-lost peaceful sleep.
The next day, early in the morning, the couple drove to the hospital together.
Cheyenne spent the morning conducting a full-body examination for him, and the medical report showed that all his bodily functions were normal.
He had indeed been stabbed and shot five times, but his wounds healed surprisingly quickly.
According to Kelvin himself, his surgery was just the day before yesterday, and today it was only four days since then. The wounds had already scabbed over.
“Golden Silkworm Magic indeed has the miraculous effect of flesh regeneration and resurrecting the dead. Extend your hand, let me check your pulse again.”
Kelvin, knowing his own body best, felt that he was fine already. However, he also appreciated Cheyenne’s care for him. Such opportunities were rare, so how could he not cherish them?
“Okay.” He obediently extended his hand for her to check his pulse.
Cheyenne now practiced both Western and traditional medicine. The earlier examination was merely from a scientific perspective, checking his bodily tissues.
But traditional medicine emphasizes the balance of essence, energy, and spirit-all three are indispensable. It turned out that Kelvin’s spirit was excellent, and even his old stomach problem had improved a lot.
Seeing her serious expression without saying a word, Kelvin deliberately tried to tease her, clutching his chest and saying, “Cheyenne, am I really fine? I feel a dull pain in my chest, as if it’s burning uncomfortably.”
“Quick, help me check.”
As he grabbed her delicate hand and pressed it against his chest under his thin white shirt, Cheyenne’s palm felt scorching hot. She gave him a speechless look.
“Do you even know where your heart is? The place you’re touching isn’t even close to where the heart is!”
“Don’t pretend. You’re as strong as a male cow, so stop wasting public resources in the hospital and go home.”
She mercilessly dropped these words and lowered her head to prepare the case study. However, Kelvin stubbornly held onto her hand, his deep-set eyes carrying a hint of amusement.
“Since I’m as strong as a male cow, does that mean we can do something at night…”
Before he could finish his sentence, two awkward coughs came from the doorway.
“Cough, cough… I didn’t see anything.”
“I-I didn’t either. I didn’t hear anything.”
Cheyenne and Kelvin turned their heads simultaneously to see a crowd gathered at the doorway, including Leandro, Old Bray, Paisley, Master Iker, Eddie… and her assistant Lilah. Everyone was looking at her with meaningful gazes.
In that instant, Cheyenne’s face turned red and then black. She hastily retracted her hand.
“Why are you all here?”
Old Bray casually draped his arm over Master Iker’s shoulder. Being an old hand, he could see through the minds of the younger generation at a glance. After all, he used to be a notorious playboy in Onistead, and later, he was also troubled by love. His reaction was exactly like Iker’s now.
