Chapter 441
441:
Without a moment’s hesitation, Collin declared, “Linsey would never do anything to hurt anyone.”
Linsey lifted her gaze to meet his, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. How could he trust her so completely? He hadn’t even grasped the full scope of the situation, yet he was certain that she wasn’t involved.
Moved by his unwavering belief in her, Linsey gently squeezed Collin’s hand in return.
Danny, irritation evident in his voice, interjected, “It was Linsey who personally changed Mr. Green’s dressing. The doctor confirmed that poison was applied to his wound. At that time, only Mr. Green and Linsey were in the room. Who else could it have been?”
With a sharp glance in Linsey’s direction, Danny continued, “Collin, I think you and Linsey are in cahoots! You’re trying to harm Mr. Green!” Danny raised his hand again. “Guys, arrest Linsey and Collin! Take them for questioning!”
At that moment, a nurse stepped out of the emergency room. She turned to face Danny. “Mr. Green is awake. He’s regained some consciousness.”
Before Danny could even begin to feel relief, the nurse continued, “Mr. Green specifically said that no one is to touch Linsey. He also insists on leaving the hospital immediately.”
Danny’s eyes widened in disbelief, his expression hardening with resentment as he turned his gaze toward Linsey. He couldn’t believe that, even now, Gorman was still determined to protect her.
In a low, tense voice, Danny asked, “How is Mr. Green doing now?”
The doctor responded solemnly, “His condition is critical.”
With no time to spare on Linsey, Danny quickly ordered, “Let’s make arrangements for Mr. Green to leave immediately.”

Moments later, a hospital bed on wheels emerged from the emergency room. Danny rushed over and found Gorman lying faintly on the bed. “Mr. Green, we’re leaving now,” Danny said, his tone cautious, aware that Gorman might still be able to hear him.
Gorman, barely conscious, gave a slight nod, his eyes remaining closed. As the bed was pushed past Linsey and Collin, Gorman seemed to sense something, his eyelids fluttering open just a bit.
Through his blurred vision, Gorman caught sight of Linsey and Collin in an intimate embrace, as if nothing could ever come between them. A bitter, self-deprecating smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. As Gorman was wheeled away by his crew, a wave of discomfort washed over Linsey’s chest. She inhaled deeply and murmured, “I never imagined something like this could happen.”
Collin placed a gentle hand on the top of her head, his voice soft yet steady. “Gorman has a lot of enemies. You’re not to blame for what’s happened today.” He gave her a reassuring glance. “I’ll make sure everything is investigated thoroughly. There’s no need to worry; it’ll be fine.”
Linsey nodded, her eyes still slightly swollen and red, but she forced a small, grateful smile. As he saw Linsey like this, Collin’s heart tightened with concern. Without hesitation, he reached out and gently drew her into his arms, his voice soothing and low, “I’m here. I’ll stay with you.”
Not far off, hidden in the shadows, Flavia watched the scene unfold, fury building inside her. Damn Linsey. She had assumed that after today, Linsey would end up behind bars. But to her surprise, Linsey emerged unscathed, not only defended by Collin but also by Gorman, despite everything that had happened. Flavia’s anger surged as she clenched her fists, unable to bear the sight for another second.
