Tiana Thorne’s face still showed no other expression but apology.
Yet her heart thumped suddenly.
This feeling was as if a knife was held to her neck.
However, Tiana was not afraid.
At the sa ti, she realized sothing—the man not only acted well but also suffered from paranoia.
He seed to find her a unique little fangirl, but in fact, he didn’t trust her at all.
Everything she did before was, at best, not disliked by him. Now, sending his confidant over, it seed to care, but in reality, it was to test her.
Before Dr. Miller walked over, the apology in Tiana’s eyes deepened: "I’ve caused you so much trouble already, how could I trouble you further?"
"You called ntor, now you call brother, in every sense, it’s no trouble. When I saw you injured in the bamboo forest, I noticed it was quite severe, so don’t refuse."
Tiana sneered inwardly, indeed a gentle, mature, charming hypocrite.
Tiana smiled slightly, "Brother Cain, it’s not that I’m being finicky; as actors, we all have assistants capable of bandaging. I’ve already had the dicine applied."
After speaking, her eyes sincere, she lifted her skirt to reveal her lower leg, bandaged at the knee.
A faint sll of ointnt ca from her, and on the right knee, there was a trace of blood oozing.
Cain Rhodes pursed his lips, as she said, it had already been bandaged once.
The air seed to freeze; no one spoke.
In truth, Tiana was gambling; she intentionally had Finn Pierce drip pig’s blood on the bandage inside her right leg to create this false appearance.
Cain, always a gentleman knowing when to advance or retreat, even seeing a bit of blood on her knee, would not have the doctor redo the bandage.
That would appear overly concerned and greasy, not fitting his persona in the entertainnt industry.
So, she said nothing, waiting for him to speak.
Suddenly, he slightly frowned, "Your right leg, is bleeding again."
Tiana: "..."
Damn?
Could she have misunderstood his persona, was Cain planning to be a greasy old man?
Her heart raced, but she gently smiled, "It’s fine, maybe I inadvertently rubbed it while walking."
"You’re injured, why co out?" Cain slightly frowned again, his tone sowhat concerned.
Tiana just wanted to speak.
"Dr. Miller."
Tiana: "..."
Could she really lose this gamble?
Damn him!
"Help Miss Thorne back to her room to rest," Cain instructed.
Dr. Miller nodded respectfully, "Alright, rest assured, Cain."
Cain finally nodded, looking at Tiana, the warmth in his voice resembling an elder’s concern for a child, he said: "Go back and rest early, don’t wander around anymore."
"Alright." Tiana seed very moved as she stood up.
"Go on."
Tiana glanced at his shoulder, her eyes still with apology, and when eting his steady gaze, she felt relieved: "You really are... among all the n I know... no, I shouldn’t say it like that..."
Her eyes grew more serious, speaking gently, "You really are a good person."
You really are a good person...
Cain closed his eyes involuntarily.
This phrase, like a nightmare, dragged him into a deep abyss where he couldn’t climb out.
His chest suddenly ached as if soone had punched him hard; breathing beca difficult.
You really are a good person...
Cain, you really are a good person...
Suddenly, a clear and gentle voice echoed in his ear, he abruptly opened his eyes.
The room no longer had Tiana and Dr. Miller’s figures.
They had both left.
Looking at the closed door, so mories seemingly slowly woke up.
Tiana’s earlier expression and her initial relieved words, followed by her graceful and moving final words.
Every word, every syllable, resembled a sentence soone had spoken in the past.
His eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, the instant malevolence like being possessed by a demon.
He moved to take his phone, only to realize his hand was trembling, almost unable to hold the phone.
After grabbing the phone, he urgently called his agent, Wyatt Rowan.
"It’s late, what’s up?"
Cain, usually calm without showing emotions, now had a voice that was unusually hoarse and even slightly trembling: "Check Tiana Thorne’s background for , as detailed as possible, quickly!"
"What happened to you, what’s going on?" Wyatt was startled.
"Hurry and check!"
"Okay." Wyatt didn’t ask further, perhaps the information would reveal what was happening with Cain.
After hanging up, Cain retrieved a photo from his phone album.
He looked at it for a long ti, still not coming to his senses.
...
Upon returning to her room, Tiana tore off the bandages wrapped around her knee, wiped clean the ointnt, applied toner and face cream, finally feeling satisfied.
May Sloane heard the commotion and opened the door.
Her eyes were like they’d been punched harshly, swollen and red.
Tiana felt great sympathy, walked over and held her hand, "Still crying?"
May shook her head, showing a gentle smile, "I’m not crying anymore."
"Tonight, I’ll sleep with you." Tiana said as she led her to sit on the sofa, looking unwilling to leave her alone.
May didn’t refuse, leaning against her shoulder, feeling the world was finally peaceful.
"Tiana."
"Hmm?"
May said emotionally, "You are my true destiny."
Tiana couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, stop being sentintal, you should embrace the joy you once had, take Lily to see the beauty of this world. That way, she can feel the longing placed upon you and will be able to reincarnate as a human, with blessings in her next life."
"So that’s how relatives reincarnate." May was filled with emotion, feeling sunlight in her heart.
For her sister, she will treat herself better and love this world.
"Of course, otherwise why would there be said karma and blessings for descendants?"
May sincerely smiled this ti, "You’re right, thank you, Tiana."
Tiana shook her head, "May, you will find a husband who cherishes you in the future, filling all your misfortunes."
"Does such a man really exist?"
"He does, believe ."
"Then before I et him, I will keep all the goodness, for him." Whether it’s Finn or not, it remains unchanged.
Tiana finally felt relieved and took out her phone to call her brother.
It rang once, and was answered.
"I need a favor, dear brother~"
"Brother?"
The man’s voice was like fine wine breaking jade, slightly rising in pitch, his deep voice causing the heart to tremble.
What the hell!?
