"Why are you pushing yourself so hard? Do you really have to do this?" Dexter let out a quiet sigh.
Angela clenched her teeth, saying nothing in response.
About 15 minutes later, the doctor finally completed his work, rattling off a long list of precautions—one of the most important being that she must not overexert herself and should rest properly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAngela nodded absentmindedly, her gaze flicking to the exquisite wristwatch on her arm as she mentally calculated the time.
Dexter, on the other hand, listened carefully and even asked about additional precautions, including diet and daily routine, making sure to cover everything.
Afterward, the two stayed in the hospital for a short while to rest.
Angela unlocked her phone, unsurprised to see that the incident had already gone viral. Hundreds of thousands of netizens had flocked to the livestream of the anniversary celebration event and flooded the comment section. "What the hell? How does a chandelier that huge just fall like that? Could it be a poor-quality product?" "Is Angela okay? How does trouble always find her? Poor Angela." "Did Graham Group offend spowerful force or something? Their luck is insanely bad. This is ridiculous-how could there be such issues simply from holding an event?" "Am I the only one shipping them? Doesn't anyone else see how good Dexter and Angela look together? He's handsome, and she's gorgeous!" Scrolling through the comments, Angela was half amused and half exasperated.
As expected, people always enjoyed a spectacle.
"Are you sure you want to go back?" Dexter asked, watching her with a hint of concern in his deep, obsidian eyes-eyes that, for once, lacked their usual cold, unapproachable distance.
Putting her phone away, Angel turned to meet his gaze. "Dexter, as far as I know, three years ago, you were nearly assassinated. It happened right before a crucial contract signing between your company and another corporation. It was critical to your business. You were stabbed in the waist that day.
"Fortunately, you were wearing black, so no one saw that you were bleeding. Someone noticed an odd stain near your feet, but no one dared to suspect it was actually your blood. You endured the pain and held on until the contract was signed before finally seeking medical attention." Dexter stiffened, a strange glint flickering through his eyes.
"How do you know about that?" His voice was hoarse, though the moment he asked, he already knew the answer.

"I've heard of a saying-when one becomes strong enough, even one's flaws might be seen as strengths. And even if they aren't, people will overlook them out of respect for your power." Exasperated, Dexter remarked, "That sounds like a saying you made up." Angela neither confirmed nor denied it. "If it were the oldand I had seen you injured like that back then, 1 wouldn't have understood. I would have been confused. But now, finally understand how you felt at that moment."
As the celebration approached its final segment, most attendees m assumed Angela would not be returning. After all, everyone had witnessed what had happened to her.
The fact that the employees of the operations and logistics department had managed to clear the debris so quickly and keep the event running smoothly was already impressive.
"And now, let us welcMs. Graham to the stage to presentm awards to this year's top ten outstanding employees!" The host's enthusiastic voice echoed through the venue. The audience was stunned. All eyes turned toward the stage in disbelief.
As the red curtains drew back, a slender figure emerged.
