Chapter 490

 490:
The doctor gave a nod, signaling Collin to gently lower Linsey onto the examination table.
Holding her hand, Collin watched intently as the doctor began the check-up.
Meanwhile, Linsey’s attention was elsewhere, completely detached from her injured ankle.
Breaking the silence, she squeezed Collin’s hand gently and spoke with a hint of regret.
“It’s unfortunate you had to miss tonight’s event because of my accident. I feel so guilty about it.”
Collin noticed the faint trace of guilt in her eyes. Pressing his lips together, he leaned closer, their gazes locking.
In a gentle, reassuring tone, he replied, “Darling, don’t worry about it. Sure, tonight was a good opportunity, but it’s not the only one. There will be more events. Let’s forget about this one for now.”
He then tenderly caressed her cheek with his warm hand. “The priority now is your recovery. We can put everything else on hold.”
Linsey found it hard to argue, touched by the sincerity in Collin’s eyes, though she still felt some lingering frustration.
“Alright, I understand,” she said softly, her worries starting to fade.
Seeing her serene and accepting demeanor, Collin allowed himself a gentle smile and playfully tousled her hair.
His biggest regret, however, was not revealing his identity as the founder of CR Corporation at the gala, especially in front of Linsey.
But this was merely a minor setback in his larger plan.
Having skipped the Lawson family’s banquet, Collin began considering organizing a lavish event of his own. At this event, he could unveil his corporate identity and, at the same time, make his relationship with Linsey public.

He believed this would make a far more powerful statement than his original plan at the Lawson family’s gala.
Collin was confident that, when the moment came, Linsey would be both astonished and thrilled.
As silence filled the room, Collin carefully devised a new strategy in his mind.
Soon after, the doctor finished examining Linsey’s ankle.
“First, I’ll apply a medicinal spray to the affected area. Remember to use it consistently at home, limit your mobility, and rest for the next few days. You should recover well,” the doctor instructed.
Before Linsey could respond, Collin interjected, “Understood. Thank you, doctor.”
Fortunately, the next day was the weekend, so Linsey didn’t need to worry about work or taking time off.
The doctor then exited the room to fetch the medicinal spray for Linsey’s ankle.
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed from the television’s live broadcast.
“As the head of CR Corporation, I am proud to stand here at the Lawson family banquet tonight. We are looking forward to finalizing our partnership with Mr. Lawson and anticipate a fruitful collaboration between us…”
Linsey’s gaze shifted to the TV, where Dustin, looking sharp, was speaking on stage at the Lawson family banquet.
“Ah, so Mr. Wade is representing us tonight,” she remarked, making the connection.
It made sense for Dustin to be there; he was the face the public associated with CR Corporation.
