Just like the countless arguments and cold wars they’d had over the past eight years.
But this time, seeing this scene, Florentino felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
Could it be that Sandria really didn’t care about him anymore?
He had been hit, and she hadn’t even looked at him.
He knew Sandria resented him for abandoning her for Courtney.
But if she hadn’t deliberately hidden her identity, how would things have come to this point?
Clearly, she was the one who was wrong in the first place!!
Thinking this, Florentino pressed his lips together. Forget it–once she’s calmed down and thought things through, he’ll go find her again.
Inside the hospital.
Sandria was arranged to undergo various examinations, with Fulbert holding her the entire time.
He was especially careful, treating her as if she were a rare treasure.
After applying medicine to Sandria’s wrists and ankles, the doctor recommended she be kept under observation.
“The patient only has external injuries to her wrists and ankles. If you’re worried, you can arrange for her to be ob- served in the hospital for a while.”
Fulbert nodded. “She was badly frightened. She does need to be observed for some time.”
A VIP ward was arranged, with two men in black standing guard at the door.
Fulbert gently placed Sandria on the hospital bed.
At this moment, her slightly wavy hair fell around her face, her eyes downcast. Gone was her usual boldness and sharpness–she was quiet and gentle.
Fulbert poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her. “Thank you.”
Sandria took the cup and spoke in a low voice.
The man chuckled softly. “I like you better like this.”
At least, when facing him, she wasn’t all thorns and wariness.
Sip by sip, the warmth of the water spread from within, finally making Sandria feel a little better.

She looked up at him, her gaze calm and unreadable.
“Since you saved me today, I won’t hold it against you.
“It’s all right. In front of me, you can always be yourself.”
Fulbert said in a low voice.
Perhaps the thorns she wore were just a disguise, a way to protect herself.
Sandria heard him, but didn’t respond. Instead, she spoke up.

what about Zaiden and the other one?”
way,
At the mention of those two culprits, a cold glint flashed in Fulbert’s eyes.
“Zaiden is with Shield Technologies. I’ve had them detained for now. As for how to deal with them, I’ve notified Antony to come and claim them.”
At the mention of Antony, Sandria was about to speak.
“Knock, knock-”
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Antony entered.
Seeing Sandria on the hospital bed, her face bloodless, his guilt reached its peak.
“I’m sorry. It was my negligence that caused you such a terrible ordeal.”
Antony stepped forward to check on Sandria.
But Fulbert stood coldly in front of the bed.
The two men faced off, and the atmosphere in the ward instantly became tense.
In the end, it was Sandria who spoke.
She lowered her eyes, placed the cup on the bedside table, and spoke.
“Mr. Merritt, it’s just a minor injury. No need to worry so much. In the end, I was the one who meddled.”
The real target behind the scenes was Shield Technologies.
She was just caught in the crossfire.
Hearing this, Antony sighed.
“You got dragged into this because of me. Rest well. I’ll make sure the compensation is transferred to your account.”
After a few polite words, Antony left.
Fulbert’s eyes flickered, and then he followed him out.
