“Okay, I promise I won’t neglect it. By the time of your next visit, my wound may be starting to scab over.”

Gwendolyn bobbed her head. “I hope so.””

Holding the first-aid kit, she spun on her heels, strode out of the bedroom, and headed downstairs to return it to Sienna.

After doing that, she received a text from Cedrick.

Cedrick had driven up Mount Tranquil and was waiting outside Asher’s villa.

After bidding goodbye to Sienna, Gwendolyn walked out of the villa.

She got into the car and headed back to Harrick Villa with Cedrick.

Cedrick sensed her unhappiness as she seemed lost in thought with her head lowered. Unaware of the cause, he gently reached out and held her hand.

his actions have hurt you deeply. As someone who loves him, discovering that he sided with Evelyn feels like a betrayal, and forgiveness doesn’t come easily. However, Asher has been remorseful for his actions. He has punished himself, inflicted harm upon himself, and carried the weight of regret in an effort to seek your forgiveness over the past year. He may not be skilled with words, which is why he struggled to face you and express his guilt. But when he took that bullet for you on the island, it was a powerful testament to his love for you. It showed that he chose you over Evelyn. I understand that he felt indebted to Evelyn’s mother for saving his life, and he never
