Seeing what happened, Sloane quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over. “Are you okay? Here, drink some water.”

Larry took the glass and sipped a few times. Only then did the color start returning to his face.

He hurried to say, “Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne. I’m full.”

Lucas held the thermal container with a blank expression, casting a cold glance at Larry. “No need to thank me, Mr. Larry. I just want to make sure you’ve had enough–how else will you have the strength to recover?”

Larry wouldn’t dare let him feed him again. “I’m full. Really, I’ve had enough.”

Lucas set the container aside, and Larry quickly seized the moment to say to Sloane, “Sloane, could you help take care of me for a few days? With this injury… I really can’t do much on my

own.”

Sloane hesitated, about to answer when Lucas cut in first. “No need to worry, Mr. Larry. I’ll hire the best private nurse for you, someone who’ll take excellent care of everything.”

Larry shook his head, looking paler than before. “Mr. Hawthorne, you may not know this, but I have a bit of a cleanliness obsession. I’m not comfortable with strangers. Sloane knows medicine–it makes the most sense for her to help.”

Lucas‘ face darkened instantly, a sharp chill flashing through his eyes. He was about to refute him when Sloane gently tugged on his sleeve and said in a low voice, “Lucas, Larry got hurt saving me. It’s only right that I take care of him. You should head back first, I’ll contact you later.”

Lucas looked at her, eyes filled with frustration and helplessness. He knew that pushing any further would only put Sloane in a tough spot.

He swallowed the fire burning inside and relented. “Fine. I’ll head back. Call me if anything comes up.”

Sloane nodded softly. “Okay. Be careful on the road.”

Lucas returned to the company with a storm cloud over his head, his expression dark and unreadable. The moment he stepped into the office, the entire floor tensed.

Andrew instantly sensed that something was very wrong. He followed behind, arms full of documents, barely daring to breathe.
