Chapter 435

 435:
Annoyed, Gorman called over Danny. “Where’s Linsey? Why hasn’t she shown up yet?”
Danny hesitated for a moment before responding, “Boss, Ms. Brooks left early this morning but returned around ten. Since then, she’s been in the room next door…”
Gorman checked the time, his expression darkening. It was nearly one in the afternoon. Linsey had promised to care for him until he recovered, yet she was spending all her time with Collin. The more he thought about it, the more his irritation grew.
“Go and bring Linsey here,” he ordered, his voice cold. “If she’s forgotten, remind her of her commitment to me.”
“Yes, Mr. Green.” Danny nodded and hurried out.
Upon reaching Collin’s room, he was immediately blocked by Collin’s bodyguard. “Sorry, they’re busy right now. Please don’t disturb them,” the bodyguard said firmly.
Undeterred, Danny stepped forward and pushed past him. “Step aside.”
Caught off guard, the bodyguard stumbled back. Disbelief flashed across his face as Danny shoved past him.
Clearly, Gorman’s people were just as audacious as he was.
Before the bodyguard could react, Danny had already pushed open the door.
“Ms. Brooks!” he called out as he stepped inside. The rich aroma of chicken soup immediately surrounded him, a stark contrast to the sterile air in Gorman’s room. The warm, relaxed atmosphere shattered in an instant.
Collin’s expression tensed visibly. The moment he recognized the intruder as one of Gorman’s men, his annoyance deepened.

“What do you want?” he asked irritably.
Linsey glanced up, concern flickering in her eyes. “Is something wrong?”
Danny disregarded their reactions and stated bluntly, “Mr. Green is asking for you, Ms. Brooks. He wanted to remind you of your promise.”
Linsey remained composed, though irritation flickered in her eyes. “I haven’t forgotten my promise to Gorman. I agreed to care for him while he was in the hospital. But he’s recovering well now. There’s no need for me to sit around.”
She had already tended to his initial medical needs, and his recovery was going well. Furthermore, she had been visiting him daily. But now that he had an entire medical team caring for him, her presence was no longer needed. As Collin’s wife, she had her own responsibilities to manage. It only made sense for her to prioritize her time here. After all, Gorman’s recovery no longer depended on her.
Upon hearing Linsey’s words, Danny paused briefly before maintaining his composed demeanor. “Ms. Brooks, Mr. Green isn’t feeling well and has requested your presence.”
Linsey met his gaze with unwavering resolve. “If he’s unwell, he should consult a doctor. This is a hospital, isn’t it? He has access to specialists. I’m not a doctor. Why summon me?”
Danny faltered, momentarily at a loss for words. Seeing his silence, Linsey sighed, her patience wearing thin. “Tell Gorman to wait. I’ll come once I’ve finished serving my husband some chicken soup.”
“Understood,” Danny said stiffly before turning to leave.
Upon returning, he relayed the message to Gorman. Hearing that Linsey was busy feeding Collin chicken soup only deepened Gorman’s frustration. His mood soured instantly.
