Chapter 419

 419:
Gorman raised an eyebrow but didn’t challenge her. Instead, he seemed to interpret her condition as a show of concern. “No problem. We’ll do it your way.”
Collin’s expression twisted in displeasure at Gorman’s smug look.
Even more troubling was the thought of Linsey personally caring for Gorman.
All three knew Gorman had hidden motives. As Linsey’s husband, Collin found the very idea of her agreeing to this arrangement unbearable.
“Linsey, we can’t—” Collin began, trying to reason with her.
Linsey faced him and held her stance. “Collin, I’ve made up my mind.”
Linsey glanced at Collin’s bloodied arm, her jaw tightening. “You need to get to the hospital and stay there until you’re fully healed. If you don’t take care of yourself, I swear I won’t speak to you ever again!”
After a brief silence, Linsey pressed on, “Just do as I say.”
Collin opened his mouth to protest, but under Linsey’s piercing stare, his voice faltered. “It’s really not that bad…”
That was the last straw for Linsey.
Irritated, she reached out and pinched his handsome face. “Oh? So you’re telling me it doesn’t hurt? Say that again, I dare you.”
When a wooden stick had struck his arm earlier, Collin hadn’t even flinched. Yet now, just a simple pinch from Linsey had him wincing.
“Alright, alright, you win! I’ll listen to you,” Collin conceded.
Gorman watched the scene unfold, his lips twitching in exasperation. What an absolute drama queen.
Once everything was settled, Gorman withdrew his charges against Collin.

In the end, both men wound up in the hospital for treatment. To make things easier, Linsey personally requested that their hospital rooms be placed side by side.
The moment Gorman lay down on his bed, he instructed Danny, “Go, call the best medical team to check me out.”
He was practically glowing with excitement at the thought of Linsey looking after him.
In his eyes, the confrontation with Collin had been well worth it. Not only had he vented his anger, but he had also managed to get closer to the woman he loved.
Meanwhile, in the next room, Collin had called Dominic from a private hospital.
The second Dominic stepped inside and saw Collin’s injuries, he was dumbfounded.
“What the hell happened to you? I saw you just a few hours ago, and now you look like this?” Dominic’s voice was laced with concern.
He had just finished treating Linsey earlier. And now it was Collin? What was with this couple?
Linsey let out a helpless sigh, unsure of how to explain.
On the way over, Dominic had already heard bits and pieces of the story.
Since neither Linsey nor Collin seemed eager to talk, he kept going.
“Seriously, Collin? What possessed you to take on Gorman? I heard you two even got dragged to the police station before settling things. And now look at you—both lying in hospital beds.”
