Chapter 425
425:
The more Linsey thought about these events, the more unsettled she felt.
But she struggled to feel any genuine sympathy for Gorman. He had repeatedly schemed to drive her and Collin apart. As far as Linsey was concerned, he had brought this on himself.
Linsey chose to remain silent. Sensing he had pushed his luck far enough, Danny also said nothing more.
If Gorman decided to cause a stir about this later, he would be the one facing the consequences.
Soon after, the doctor arrived, administered anesthesia, and began stitching Gorman’s wounds.
Linsey stayed quietly on the sidelines throughout the procedure. It felt like a long wait, but eventually, the doctor finished and produced several bottles filled with a dark liquid.
“Apply this while the anesthesia is still effective. Be careful not to aggravate his injuries,” the doctor advised. A nurse nodded and accepted the medication. Her gaze lingered on Gorman, who lay pale on the hospital bed.
By now, many on this floor had heard a lot about Gorman, though few had imagined him to be this young or attractive in person.
With his well-defined physique, a single glance was enough to make the nurse’s heart race.
Clutching the bottle, the nurse felt a thrill of anticipation. Gaining Gorman’s favor could lift her from her ordinary life as a nurse to one filled with luxury.
With that thought, she settled beside his bed and carefully began applying the medication to his shoulder wound.
“Mr. Green, does this hurt? I’ll be gentle. Just let me know if you feel any discomfort,” she said softly.

Gorman shot her an icy glance. “The anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet. Why would it hurt?”
The nurse was momentarily shaken but quickly regained her composure.
At least he had responded to her.
Emboldened, she subtly rested her other hand on his bare abdomen, hoping to charm him. “Mr. Green…”
Linsey watched the scene unfold with an amused expression.
It appeared Gorman was never short on admirers. If this nurse managed to captivate him, perhaps he would stop his relentless pursuit of her.
Before Linsey could give the idea further thought, Gorman suddenly grabbed the nurse’s hand and snapped, “Get out!”
His sharp command startled both Linsey and the nurse.
Despite her shock, the nurse recovered quickly and managed a coy smile.
“Oh, Mr. Green, don’t be so cold. You’re making my heart race! Here, feel it yourself.” As she spoke, the nurse fluttered her eyelashes at Gorman and guided his hand toward her chest.
She felt certain that her charm was irresistible to him. But in the very next moment, her confidence shattered.
The instant she touched him, Gorman recoiled, disgust clear on his face. With a forceful shove, he sent her stumbling backward.
“Don’t touch me! Get out of here!” Gorman shoved himself upright, his face twisted with rage as he roared, “From now on, I don’t want to see you in this hospital again!”
