Cynthia looked fierce, standing with arms akimbo.
Whenever she recalled Liam falling off the cliff, she would desperately wish that she could beat Hallet up.
Evan was still in the treatment room when the clock struck 10 pm.
It was mainly because Anthony’s condition was too difficult to treat–he had a heart condition and sustained a gunshot wound. In fact, Anthony was lucky to have met Evan as other doctors would have given up on the treatment.
Since Anthoin-
*d rescued Cynthia, Evan decided to treat Anthony’s heart condition as well
Suddenly, Cyn:
the door and walked in.
“Master Buckley, let me help you, she offered.
She knew how tricky Anthony’s condition was to treat, so she was worried Evan’s body would not be able to handle the toil.
When Evan sar her, he gave her orders without besitation.
The two of them cooperated, and the surgery finally ended at daybreak.
The moment Evan and Cynthia opened the door and stepped out of the treatment room, Babella was the first to approach them. “Dr. Buckley, Ms Larson, how is he now she asked anxiously.
Evan was so tired that he could not even lift his feet, so he ignored her and went straight back to his room to rest
Cynthia flashed Isabella a reassuring smile and said. The surgery was successful. He should wake up in the afternoon.”
Isabella held Cynthia’s wrist and kept saying, “Thank you”
Cynthia had an indescribable good impression of Isabella, so she was very friendly toward the latter.
Looking at Isabella’s equally weary face, Cynthia knew that she might not have slept a wink.
Then, she pulled Isabella to the only empty room upstairs,
“Anthony is still under the effects of the anesthetic. You should take a rest first. Don’t overexert yourself, Cynthia advised.
When they entered the room, Cynthia tidied the bed and said, “Take a rest here. I have someone call you when he wakes up
“Thank you” Isabella thanked her again,
Her body was originally weak, and now it seemed that she had reached her limit, so she did not refuse Cynthia’s offer.
Cynthia came out of the room and returned to her own room.
Just as she was about to open the door, someone opened it from inside. Her gaze met Liam’s
Cynthia’s eyes widened. “Where are you going?”
Liam, who had a coat draped over his shoulders, pulled her into the room.
“I heard sounds from outside and guessed that the surgery was completed, so I wanted to pick you up,” he replied.
Liam wetted a handkerchief and wrung it out before wiping Cynthia’s face with it.
Cynthia poked her head from under the handkerchief and asked, “Did you not sleep!”
“I can’t sleep without you by my side.” Liam proceeded to wipe her hands.
Cynthia was tired, so she let him be. Her heart was swelling with happiness.
Soon, they got onto the bed to rest
Cynthia was worried about Liam’s injury, so she did not let him embrace her.
However, she still found herself in his arms when she woke up.
Cynthia wanted to get out of Liam’s embrace quietly, but he woke up as soon as she moved.
Liam pulled Cynthia deeper into his arms and kissed her on the forehead without opening his eyes.
With his lips still pressed against her forehead, he mumbled. “Sleep in with me.”
Cynthia was powerless in the face of Liam’s clingy behavior.
When she woke up again, Liam was no longer beside her.
Cynthia looked at the time and found that it was almost noon
She got up and went to the yard.
All she saw

She then i

When Delilah saw her looking around, she shook her head.
“You are so clingy, looking for your husband as soon as you wake up, Delilah commented and jutted her chin in the kitchen’s direction.
“He’s afraid you’ll be hungry when you wake up, so he’s cooking for you now,” she added.
Cynthia thought of the wound on Liam’s leg and ran to the kitchen in a hurry.
Liam limped as he moved around the kitchen. At the sight of Cynthia, he smiled and said, “You woke up. You must be hungry, right! Wait outside. The food will be ready soon.”
Seeing that Cynthia remained standing in a daze, he immediately urged, “Go out. The kitchen is full of smoke and grease.”
Süll, Cynthia did not move. Something seemed to be lodged in her throat, making it difficult for her to make a sound.
When Liam urged her again, Cynthia could not help but run over and hug his waist from behind. “You’ll make me dependent on you. What should 1 do when you’re no longer by my side” she said
softly.
“Don’t worry. I will always be by your side, Liam replied, holding a spatula in one hand and gripping Cynthia’s hand with the other. “You just need to enjoy my service.
Cynthia’s heart softened. Instead of leaving the kitchen, she stayed behind to help him
I wish I could stand beside you instead of hiding behind you,” she said.
By the time they were done cooking, those who had been sleeping in also woke up.
Everyone sat at the dining table for lunch.
Because Hunk and the others were around, the dining table was fully seated.
Isabella usually wore a veil, but she had taken it off to eat, revealing her true face.
Everyone was stunned to see her entire face and the obvious scar on her Exce
Isabella lowered her head and said awkwardly, “Did I scare you guys?”
Queen, who had just put a spoonful of food into her mouth, almost choked.
“A–A–Are you two… clones?” she asked, darting her eyes between Cynthia’s and Isabella’s faces.
Everyone’s gaze made Isabella lower her head even further.
Cynthia was also shocked by Isabella’s unveiled face, but she did not let it show and reminded the others. “All right, let’s eat”
The others felt that they were being a little rude, so they withdrew their gazes.
Anthony regained consciousness at 5 p.m., and Hunk was standing beside him at that time.
“Mr. Clara, you’re awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere!” Hunk asked.
Anthony stared at Hunk’s face blankly. Then, he looked around and asked, “Where am I?”
“This is Dr. Buckley’s place. He performed surgery on your heart, Hunk replied.
Anthony lonked down and saw that his chest was indeed bandaged.
Afterward, he looked at Hunk with a puzzled expression.

“Who are you!“” Anthony asked
That question frightened Hunk so much that a chill ran down his spine. “Mr. Clara, are you pulling my leg?”
Anthony looked at Hunk and said weakly. Do you know me in the past! You called me Mr. Clara I remember Amy called me Anthony when I was in a coma. So my name is Anthony Clara, right”
His words dispelled the hope in Hank’s heart.

He looked at Isabella and asked, “Amy! No, I remember you said your name was Isabella when I was in a coma.”
Isabella nodded.
Anthony smiled and repeated, Tabella.” Then, he thought of something and asked. “So we do know each other in the past, right?”
