Chapter 634
She sat beside the bed, carefully releasing Bryan from his restraints and began massaging his legs. She wasn’t sure how long he had been confined, but she could see the lingering effects of his injury. The area where Bryan had been hurt had remained swollen for several days. Although the swelling had started to reduce, the redness still remained.
“Is it still hurting?” Eileen asked.
“No, I don’t feel any pain there,” Bryan replied. Noticing Eileen’s concern, he added, “The redness and swelling indicate blood flow, which is a good sign. I just lack sensitivity in that area.”
Although Eileen wasn’t an expert, she accepted his explanation. Smiling, she asked, “What made you want to leave? Were you trying to see me?”
“It seems you’re the only one who can lure me out,” Bryan said, raising an eyebrow.
Eileen thought for a moment before responding, “What about Gabriela? You can help me find a good husband, but what about her? She’ll need to find a boyfriend and get married someday. Aren’t you concerned? Just hold on until then.”
Bryan’s expression darkened.
If he could hold on until then, why would he be concerned with finding Eileen a husband? He could be that husband.
“I need to find you a great husband, one who will also be a good father to Gabriela. Those are the two conditions that matter,” Bryan said, his voice calm, though his emotions were hidden beneath the surface.
Eileen laughed lightly and teased, “There are very few men I’m interested in who could meet both of those conditions. You can take your time choosing. But to do that, the only thing you should focus on right now is following your treatment here in the hospital.”
If he were to die before finding the perfect match…
Though Eileen left the sentence unfinished, Bryan understood what she meant. His expression darkened, but he remained silent.

There was always this subject between them that neither wanted to address directly.
Inside the doctor’s office, Josue entered the room, sat down, and focused intently on the small wooden box.
“Are you sure? Is this password correct?” he asked.
They had already attempted twice and failed. If they failed again, the password would be reset, and no one would know the new one.
“My suggestion remains the same: could you ask for the original password? Perhaps the person who sent you the box might be willing to share it,” the technician proposed.
Josue waved his hand dismissively. “I can’t.”
Eileen had tried to reach Travis after receiving the box, but she had been unable to contact him. It was clear Travis was determined not to reveal the password to her.
“In that case, we’ll have to try again,” the technician said. “If we fail once more, we’ll have to leave it to chance in the future.”
Hearing this, Josue cursed under his breath and said, “Do it.”
The technician quickly made the necessary adjustments and attempted to unlock the box.
A click sounded as the lock disengaged.
All eyes were fixed on the box. The previously silent office, where even the faintest sound could be heard, erupted into cheers the next second.
