Chapter 66: Connor never expected things to turn out this way. He cradled Riss' delicate body in his arms, feeling as though he was being zapped by electricity. His entire body went numb, and his thoughts seemed to slow down. He was at a loss about what to do next. When he regained his composure, the woman didn't take things further. Instead, she pressed against him, turned to her side, and clung to his arm without moving He glanced at her, puzzled, and realized she was sleeping soundly. She appeared utterly exhausted and had fallen asleep almost instantly, using his arm as a pillow. Her fingers clung tightly to his sleeve, as if fearing he might slip away. Yet, she made no further moves. Was this her idea of sleeping with him? He then realized he had completely misinterpreted her intentions. Could he somehow have a hypnotic effect on her? As understanding dawned, he chuckled at himself. What had he been expecting? Instead of moving away, he calmly sent a text to Domenic. “Is Riss' identity confirmed?" At that moment, Domenic, Marc, and Terry were pressing against the door, straining to hear any sounds from inside. When they heard the thud of someone hitting the bed, they exchanged worried looks, debating whether to intervene Stay updated with galnovIf they didn't enter, they feared Connor might be in harm's way. But barging in during a potentially intimate moment could lead to an awkward situation and possibly upset Connor. While they hesitated, Domenic's phone buzzed with Connor's message. He glanced at the screen, shared a look with the two bodyguards, and quickly responded, "Her identity's confirmed. It's definitely Doctor Riss." After replying, Domenic waited anxiously for further instructions from Connor. But tpassed without any new messages. The three continued to stand guard outside, listening intently but hearing no sounds from the room Meanwhile, Connor began to take action inside the room. The woman slept deeply, her chest rising and falling with each breath. In her slumber, she seemed completely harmless. Could she really be so comfortable sleeping next to a man she didn't know? Or perhaps she trusted that he would not harm her? She had arrived wearing a mask, clearly not wanting her identity known. Yet, here she was, asleep beside him on the bed, where he could easily remove her mask. With that thought, he smiled again and reached out to remove her mask. He was eager to discover whether the mysterious and cunning doctor was actually Marissa. But as he touched the mask, he realized he couldn't remove it. He paused, then carefully propped himself up, gently turned her head, and inspected the mask from all angles. After the examination, he realized something The mask wasn't just any mask—it was equipped with a high-tech electronic password lock. Without the password, his only option to remove it would be to cut it off. He attempted to hack the password lock system, hoping to bypass it. Despite his efforts and considerable hacking skills, which ranked among the top ten globally, the mask's firewall proved too robust. After numerous failed attempts, he had to admit defeat He chuckled bitterly to himself. His hacking skills, while impressive, had been bested on two occasions involving Riss. Previously, he hadn't been able to determine who hacked the hospital's surveillance system. Now, he couldn't crack the mask's password lock. Dr. Riss was truly remarkable.
