"How is he, Dr. Zhang?"
Priscilla asked as she had never felt so worried. She felt suffocated whenever she thought about how Tristan could be in danger, and she couldn't breathe.
She finally understood how Tristan felt when he was worried about her. Right now, she had only waited for a moment, but she already felt terrible. Alas! How did Tristan feel when he had been watching over her all these years?
At this thought, Priscilla suddenly felt it was such a pity because she didn't know that this man loved her so deeply before this.
Meanwhile, the doctor glanced at Priscilla and whispered, "The surgery's over, but we have to pay attention because an infection might happen these few days. He is a doctor and should understand this. Therefore, you should get someone to take good care of him."
Back then, Priscilla was taken away by the assistant of the Acker family's head. In fact, this matter became known all over the country. Later, everyone heard that the assistant was dead, but now he had appeared in front of Dr. Zhang.
Hence, he immediately understood what was going on right now.
"Princess Priscilla, I have nothing to do these days. Why don't I stay and take care of him?"
After all, Dr. Zhang was aware of the secrets of the palace. Since he had stumbled on something he shouldn't know, his life would be in danger. Therefore, for the sake of her family and children, he could only choose to stay until the battle in the palace ended.
On the other hand, Priscilla understood the meaning behind his words. She then nodded and said, "Very well. I'll send someone to protect your family."
"Thank you, Princess Priscilla."
Dr. Zhang knew that this was for the best.
After that, Priscilla sent someone to bring Dr. Zhang's family over, and the latter did not say anything else after that.
After that, someone pushed Tristan into the room. Right now, Lebanon had already prepared everything, so everyone could tell that he cared about Tristan a lot.
However, he didn't want to admit that he cared about Tristan.
On the other hand, Priscilla couldn't help feeling heartache when she saw Tristan in a coma.
After all, Tristan was not burly, and he was relatively thin. No one would believe that this man was a martial artist or even a soldier just by looking at his physique. But when his jacket was taken off, Priscilla could easily blush when she saw the muscles on his body.
Even though she had remembered their past, she did not expect Tristan to have such a good figure now. Therefore, she couldn't help but fantasize about this.
At this thought, Priscilla patted her face and then walked over.
Meanwhile, Tristan was still sleeping.
Priscilla reached out and touched his forehead and felt that his temperature had already dropped. She then sat by Tristan's bed and waited for him to wake up.
There were still many things to deal with outside, but Priscilla didn't want to get involved in them. Since Lebanon didn't want her to intervene, it meant that he was fully prepared. Her men should also be sending back the evidence from Atlas in time. Hence, Priscilla could care less about the chaos that was happening outside.
Now that her lover was right in front of her, this was where she belonged.
Priscilla would wipe his face from time to time.
Since she didn't know when Tristan would wake up, she could only talk to herself, "Although I've had a difficult life, I've never looked after many people in my whole life. You're lucky! When you wake up, I'll make sure you pay back all I've done."
"Don't think you're great just because you've done so much for me. Let me tell you, I'm not going to count the past incidents because I didn't know about them. Now that I think about it, you haven't even pursued me. How could you turn me into a married woman just like this? It's so unfair."
Priscilla became more excited as she spoke, so she did not notice that Tristan had opened his eyes and was looking at her with a smile.
"Also, what do you want me to do with your current identity? You're my brother's brother. So, should Lebanon be your brother or your brother-in-law? Urgh! That's a real dilemma for me. There's also Mr. Ye. You're Mango's cousin, and she's Mr. Yes wife. Yet, our relationship has become complicated because of you. It's such a mess. Forget it. Maybe I shouldn't marry you."
"What? I dare you to say that again!"
Tristan's voice was weak but very overbearing.
"We've already registered our marriage, so it's useless for you to regret it."
Only then did Priscilla realize that Tristan was awake. When she realized she was talking to herself like a fool, she could not help feeling annoyed.
"Were you eavesdropping on me?"
"Huh? I was listening to it openly. Are you sure you weren't talking to me?"
Tristan teased as he loved how shy Priscilla looked right now.
Although Tristan was now a patient, Priscilla was frustrated because he had embarrassed her. Moreover, she was not a woman who would be put at a disadvantage. So, she couldn't help reaching out her fingers and pinching Tristan's muscles.
"Don't you know that after marriage, your wife is always right?"
Priscilla tried her best to pinch Tristan, but the latter felt as if she was ticking him because of his strength. On the contrary, Priscilla was exhausted.
"Urgh! Are you sure you're human? Your muscles are so hard, so they're made of iron, aren't they?" "Well, they feel nice to the touch, right?"
Priscilla immediately blushed when she heard what Tristan had said.
"Bah! Stop ruining my reputation. Am I a lecherous person?"
"Sure, you're not a lecherous person, but I wonder who went to bed with me..."
Tristan could not help but laugh when he recalled what had happened to them in the past.
"Urgh! Shut up! Who was that? It's not me anyway."
Priscilla was being deliberately dishonest, but her face was so red out of embarrassment right now.
So Tristan stopped teasing her and said with a smile, "Alright, get me a glass of water. I'm so thirsty."
"No, the doctor said that you can't drink water, so you can only dab your lips with a cotton swab. Wait for me."
After saying this, Priscilla immediately got up and went to get some water.
She served others before, but since she returned to Angolla, she had not done it for a long time. In fact, she didn't expect that she would be serving Tristan, but she didn't despise it.
Then, Priscilla followed the doctor's instructions and dabbed some water on Tristan's lips. When she saw Tristan staring at her intensely, her heart skipped a beat.
"You just went through surgery, so you'd better sleep for a while." "Will you stay with me?"
"Of course!"
