Ever since he got the news about Yasmine, he rushed to B Country overnight and then rescued her right after, dealing with obstacles one after another and even having a bullet in him until just now. So, it was no surprise that his body was inflamed and he was running a fever.
The door to Damon's ward room was quietly opened in the middle of the night, and the person with Damon immediately stood up.
“Chloe…” Nathan called softly, and Chloe quickly walked to the side of the bed.
Seeing Damon passed out on the bed, her eyes instantly reddened. Nathan quickly waved his hands at her, “Chloe, don’t cry, please don’t! If my brother knew I told you all this and made you cry, he’d kill me!”
Chloe held back her tears. "...I'll stay with him tonight."
Nathan seemed a bit troubled, "...well..."
"I'll leave before dawn, I won't put you in a difficult place." Chloe knew what Nathan was worried about.
Moreover, she wouldn't stay. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean all the patience he had endured along the way had been in vain? Was he just trying to keep her from knowing he was hurt?
Nathan finally nodded, "Well...he might need to be wiped down with alcohol if his fever gets worse. You've been working hard. Don't tire yourself out too much."
"Okay."
Nathan tiptoed out of the room, and Chloe sat by the bed, reaching out to touch Damon's forehead.
His forehead was covered in sweat. Her fingers trembled slightly. She didn't know the details, but she knew it was all for her. From the fact that Damon didn’t refuse when her mother asked her to leave with her at the engagement party, it was clear that her mother knew about his injury.
So they both tricked her, all just to keep her from knowing he was hurt.
After several days without sleep and being injured, Damon felt his originally hot body being covered by waves of coldness, the heat subsiding, and his slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed...

The next day, the engagement party at the Emerald Palace the night before had the whole P City buzzing.
"Ms. Summers' fiance is actually Mr. Harper of the Harper Group?!"
"Yasmine isn't dead! She's back!"
"Yasmine is giving the Alonso family as a wedding gift to her daughter! How generous!"
"Ms. Grace was a stripper! Aristocratic secret exposed, revealing the past of the homewrecker who rose to power!"
One news story followed another, but there was no mention of Damon being injured and rushed to the emergency room, nor of Becky being beaten up.
Most of the online comments were mocking Grace and Wendy, and although it was obvious that the Alonso family was trying to control the comments, they couldn't stop the netizens' attacks.
Cole flew overnight from Hong Kong to P City, and the first thing he did was slap Wendy. "Look at what you and your mother have done!"
