Chapter 612
612:
“Linsey, thank you for staying with me today. If you hadn’t been here, I don’t know how I would have handled everything.”
Linsey shook her head slightly. “You don’t have to thank me, Myla. I didn’t do much.”
She then reassured her, “Jeffery will get through this. If Carol isn’t a match, there are other options. A donor will turn up.”
Myla sighed, her worry evident. “We’ve already started searching. Carol has always been weak, so we’d prefer to find another match if possible.”
After a brief silence, she gave Linsey’s shoulder a gentle pat. “It’s getting late. You should go home and rest.”
Linsey nodded. “Alright, Myla. If you need anything, just call me.” With that, she took her leave.
Linsey, accompanied by two bodyguards, made her way toward the hospital entrance.
Just then, her phone rang.
“Look to your left, across the street. Do you see me?” Collin’s voice was low and familiar.
Linsey turned in that direction and immediately spotted a sleek car parked by the curb. Standing beside it was a tall figure, his eyes fixed on her.
A soft smile curved her lips. “I see you.”
“Walk slowly. Watch your step.”
“Alright.” Linsey smiled brightly as she walked over.
The call remained connected, the quiet night amplifying Collin’s steady breathing in her ear. Though he had told her to take her time, within seconds he was already striding toward her.
Linsey laughed. “What happened to waiting?”

The moment she stopped talking, Collin reached her and pulled her into his arms, holding her close.
“I couldn’t. I just wanted to hold you sooner.” His grip was secure yet gentle as he guided her toward the car. “It’s chilly. Get in.”
He opened the door, instinctively shielding the top to prevent her from bumping her head. Once she was seated, he walked around the car to the other side, got in, and took the back seat.
The two bodyguards tailing Linsey watched as she left with Collin. Only after confirming her departure did they return to their car.
Inside the vehicle, Collin took Linsey’s hand in his, his warmth enveloping hers. Though he felt no chill himself, he still asked, “Are you cold?”
Linsey shook her head. “Not at all.”
