Chapter 4 Meeting Again

His hand was bleeding from her bite, but he didn't even flinch.

Ashley suddenly freaked out. "Let go of me, someone help!"

Ethan noticed something was off and shook her shoulder, but Ashley passed out.

"Hey, why did you faint? What kind of game are you playing now?"

The nurse asked, "Are you a relative? She might've fainted at the sight of blood. She needs to stay for observation. Please handle the admission paperwork."

Ethan muttered a curse. He had billion-dollar deals to negotiate and was annoyed at himself for getting involved.

After finishing the paperwork and seeing her lying in bed, Ethan rubbed his temples, exhausted.

His phone rang; it was his assistant, Diannel.

"Hello."

"Mr. Yates, bad news. Photos of you pulling a woman on the street have gone viral, and we can't suppress it. The Queen of Ferndale has also heard about it, and she's very concerned about her partners' reputations..."

Ethan said coldly, "Find a way to suppress the public opinion first. The royal order cannot be compromised!"

Ethan's eyes were intense as he immediately opened Twitter to check the trending topics.

"Damn it!"

Ethan cursed under his breath, his eyes coldly fixed on Ashley. He shouted, "So this was your plan all along! You're really something!"

Ethan exuded a chilling aura. Any feelings of affection and pity he had for her vanished instantly. He slammed the door and left...

Not long after he left, Ashley slowly woke up.

"Ashley, here is your medical report. Don't worry, you're not sick."

"That's great."

Ashley felt a sense of relief, like she had narrowly escaped disaster.

At that moment, her phone rang. "Ashley, the Yates Group contacted us. They're offering a salary of a thousand million dollars to hire you as the Chief Design Officer. Are you interested?"

"Sure, let's set a time to discuss the details."

After hanging up, Ashley got up to leave. Just as she stepped out of the hospital, she saw an elderly man clutching his chest, his face pale and on the verge of collapse.

"Miss... please help me..."

He fainted just after speaking.

"Sir!"

Ashley exclaimed and quickly went to support the elderly man. "Doctor, someone has fainted here."

The doctor came over and took the elderly man to the emergency room. Ashley was about to leave, but the elderly man clung to her hand tightly, refusing to let go. She had no choice but to stay.

The doctor said, "You must be his family member. He had a heart attack, but we managed to save him in time. Please stay here and take care of him."

Ashley replied, "Okay."

Thinking about how she had finally found her family only to lose them again, she wondered if she would end up like this elderly man, with no one to care for her when she grew old and sick.

Ashley couldn't help but feel sad.

Suddenly, the elderly man's phone rang, displaying the name 'Grandson.' Ashley guessed it was a family member calling.

She answered, "Hello."

A familiar voice came through, "Who are you? How can you answer my grandpa's phone?"

Ashley said, "I'm in the emergency room at Haven Hospital. Your grandpa had a heart attack and fainted. You should come quickly."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

The other party hung up. Ten minutes later, the emergency room door opened, and a man walked in. "Grandpa, are you okay?"

Ashley looked up at the sound, and both of them were stunned—

"It is you?"

They spoke in unison.
