“Marco, | haven't formally thanked you yet. Rest assured, | will arrange for someone to take good care of you
during your hospitalization, and | will help you apply for a formal reward from my superior.”
But Marco could sense that Rowan was trying to absolve Loraine of any involvement with him. He didn’t say
anything. The atmosphere quickly grew tense for a moment.
Rowan noticed Marco's dissatisfaction and his expression turned sour.
“If you don’t think the reward is enough, tellwhat else you want.”
Marco locked eyes with Loraine, his gaze filled with passion.

His intense gaze made Loraine subconsciously turn away.
Everyone was puzzled by this. What could he possibly have meant by that?
Then they saw Rowan'’s face darken.

Everyone was speculating, and it was Marco who finally broke the silence.

“Thank you for the offer, but | don’t need any rewards. | can get what
| want on my own.”
As he spoke, his eyes were still fixated on Loraine.
Although his voice was not loud, Loraine felt as if he had whispered in her ear. His intense stare made her heart
race and she couldn't bring herself to meet his gaze.
Rowan was surprised by Marco's refusal of rewards. He silently praised
Marco for his self-sufficiency.
The atmosphere among the three of them was tense and uncomfortable.

Klein, who was observing the situation, wondered why Rowan didn’t treat
Marco like a rival in love. Who was Loraine staying at the hospital to take care of?
Noticing Klein's gaze, Rowan cleared his throat and apologized.
“I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well today. Please leave.”
Rowan asked them to leave, and they already saw Rowan’s injuries. They decided not to stay any longer. The
visitors hurriedly left after leaving their gifts.
Klein smiled as he prepared to hand Rowan his gift. But as soon as he passed by Marco, Klein winked at him,
insinuating that Marco follow him.
