Chapter 4

It was already evening when I reached the hospital.

As the comments predicted, Gideon wasn't in the hospital room. A nurse on duty saw my injuries and came to help me.

My heart was utterly cold as I leaned against the wall and asked the nurse:

"Where's my husband?"

The nurse looked at the hospital room, confused:

"Yeah, where's your husband? Nurse Quinn saw him during rounds, and the Aunt you hired already left. Where did your husband go?"

I leaned against the wall, unmoving. The nurse, seeing my disheveled state, softly comforted me:

"It's okay. Everyone in the hospital knows your husband, and given his condition, no one could take him out. He can't go elsewhere, we'll find him soon. Would you like to treat your wounds first?"

I waved her off, speaking each word deliberately:

"I want to know where he is right now!"

Seeing my distress, the nurse, though worried, went to make calls to find him.

I leaned against the wall, exhausted.

At that moment, the comments appeared again.

[Wow, so thrilling! The female supporting character is in the corridor, while the male lead and heroine are passionately making out next door.]

[Gideon's lips are bruised, who knew our gentle heroine was such a little lion!]

[You must be new here, right? Our heroine baby didn't just bruise Gideon's lips; there are marks elsewhere too.]

[The chemistry between them is just amazing! The sweet and soft heroine pinning Gideon down to kiss him, the contrast is delightful.]

A "bang" sounded from the room next door, something had fallen.

I froze.

The comments continued.

[The heroine baby saw the returning female supporting character but still dared to make such noise, so bold yet brave!]

[I think it's brave too, but won't their intensity get them discovered by the female supporting character? I'm worried!]

[Relax, they locked the door when they went in. The female supporting character can't open it!]

[I mean, when she finds the male lead missing, won't she discover he was deceiving her? I don't want him to be wrongfully accused of being a jerk!]

[Oh, that! She won't find out! The hospital has doctors cooperating with the male lead. Once they're done, the doctor will wheel him back, claiming it's for muscle relaxation and rehabilitation. With a doctor helping, the female supporting character will believe it.]

[The male lead prepared so thoroughly?]

[Of course! Without such comprehensive preparation, how could he deceive the female supporting character for so long?]

[The male lead baby is impressive!]

Just as the comments predicted, Gideon was wheeled back by a doctor.

I asked the doctor, and he gave the same explanation as the comments.
