As sunset approached, William Hale glanced at Zoe Bell lying in the hospital bed.
Her lips had lost all their color from the fever, and the remnants of the setting sun bled into the room, bathing the entire ward in a giant pool of orange soda.
It was as if something was bubbling up fiercely, unsettling the heart.
William rose to his feet, drew the curtains shut, leaving only a small gap. The small window on the door was blocked, and only the light from the slit penetrated, leaving no other brightness in the room.
He prepared warm water, and the clothes for washing were all arranged by Nanny Parker.
Of course, that included undergarments.
William’s eyes darkened.
“Zoe.”
He called her name softly, and Zoe merely murmured
in response.

He hesitated for a moment, then began to undo the buttons of her nightgown.
The neckline partly open, the edge of her underwear was visible.
White skin against black lingerie.
The stark contrast was striking.
At this moment, she seemed particularly vulnerable, yet overwhelmingly enticing.
It made his Adam’s apple bob.
Soon, Zoe opened her eyes, feeling a chill on her chest, frowned slightly, her voice tight and hoarse, “What are you doing?”
“Helping you change and wipe your body.”
Zoe was feverish and drowsy, not unconscious or
insensible, “Where is Wyatt?”
“Outside.”
Wyatt Hale might not have left, she constantly remembered, they were husband and wife.

After signing the agreement, she couldn’t expect
everything from him, especially since she didn’t mind William’s closeness.
Also, her body felt sticky and uncomfortable.
“Thank you.”
The room was dimly lit, his figure overshadowing hers. his fingertips reached the butterfly bones on her back.
His fingertips were burning hot, causing her body to
tense up.
Zoe murmured softly, feeling a heat rising in her body
again.
Like the voice of a young kitten.
Exceedingly soft and utterly disheveled.
Her body weakened, she leaned on his shoulder, clad only in that thin undergarment, her breath fluttering against his neck.
William was tense, his fingers fumbling at her back for a long time, struggling to unhook her bra.
It was agonizing,
his Adam’s apple rolled again, and Zoe suddenly

reached out to touch him.
“Zoe?” He lowered his head, his eyes burning with
intense fire.
“You are really handsome.”
William paused for a second, while Zoe, like a cat, rubbed against his neck, touching a spot that had been bitten, a mix of pain and a ticklish tingling sensation.
She stretched her arms, wrapping them around his
waist.
And that made his whole body ignite.
William inhaled deeply:
She was bewitching.
He restrained his desire, his palm resting on the small of her back, pulling her close into his arms, then grabbed a jacket to wrap around her.
Fearing she’d sweat and catch a chill from the air conditioning, worsening her condition.
But Zoe then said, “No clothes.”
“Umm2”

“I haven’t been wiped down yet, it’s uncomfortable.”
This made William’s breath grow hotter.
He leaned down to kiss her forehead, his voice husky with heat, “I’m just worried about worsening your condition.”
She, her clothing disheveled, let him wipe her body.
At that moment, Zoe was quite bold, staring straight at him, her beautiful, clear eyes looking watery and pure, -making William feel that doing anything to her would
be a sin.
William realized, she actually was quite bold.
Especially when her consciousness wasn’t so clear, not restraining her rationale, her audacity was
considerable.
Before, she wouldn’t even dare to meet his gaze.
Now, however,
she stared incessantly, unblinkingly.
He clenched the towel, and when he touched her leg…
Zoe shivered slightly.

attending to someone this way, unskilled, yet his movements were gentle.
“I know.”
“Who am I?” William’s voice was low and magnetic, enveloped in fire.
“My husband.”
When William Hale lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
He simply helped her wipe down her body and then dressed her in pajamas before drawing the curtains open. By then, the sunset had turned from orange to red, and the room, facing the sun, was bathed in fiery
hues.
Zoe Bell drank some water and then continued
sleeping, her head tilted to the side.
The setting sun shone in William Hale’s eyes, looking
like an eternal flame.
Zoe Bell slept deeply. Kyle Lowe stayed in the hospital room while William Hale went with his younger
brother to eat nearby.

As soon as he left the hospital, he lit a cigarette.
Wyatt Hale frowned. To be honest, his brother had a pretty serious smoking habit, but he had restrained himself a lot recently, at least he hadn’t smoked at
home.
The way he smoked now seemed somewhat impatient.
One cigarette after another…
It seemed he wanted to dissolve the fire that surged
within his heart.
“Brother, are you worried about something?”
“No.”
“This is your second one,” Wyatt Hale said, plucking up courage. “Your mouth reeks of smoke, Zoe probably wouldn’t want to kiss you.”
Zac Cruz struggled to hold back his laughter.
That Young Master Wyatt, you say he’s foolish, but his IQ isn’t low.
Yet he always manages to speak in a way that never fails to astonish.

His mouth was always popping out something bizarre, often earning him a beating at home since he was little.
William Hale glanced at his younger brother, who immediately shrank his neck and muttered softly. “Brother, are you and Zoe not planning to have kids?”
Zac Cruz was baffled:
Young Master Wyatt, you’re too bold.
In the future, don’t call me Brother Cruz, I’ll call you
brother.
Wyatt Hale had always believed that their relationship
was genuine.
William Hale’s fingers tightened on his cigarette. “Is that your concern?”
“Zoe needs surgery, and you’re not quitting smoking. you’re clearly not planning on having kids,” Wyatt Hale sighed. “It’s been a long time since our house had laughter and joy.”
This time Zac Cruz really couldn’t hold back and laughed aloud. “Sir. I’m sorry it wasn’t intentional”

William Hale only felt a headache brewing.
Day after day, not one could give him peace of mind.
“By the way, the doctor mentioned earlier that
Grandpa Lewis would be the better surgeon for Zoe’s operation. Should we contact him?” Wyatt Hale looked
toward his brother.
“You don’t need to worry about that. After dinner, let Zac Cruz take you home. I have some foreign
documents that need translating.”
Upon hearing this, Wyatt Hale exploded, “Those materials are too difficult and involve business secrets,
I can’t handle them.”
“You’re an adult now, practically a man, how can you say you can’t do it?”
Wyatt Hale bit his lip.
“Brother, I didn’t even pass Level Six.”
“You didn’t pass this time either?”
“What do you mean ‘either‘? It was my first time taking
Level Six, and I was unprepared, so I failed.”
“That’s all the more reason to practice more.”

“Are you really my brother?”
“I wish I weren’t.” ~
Wyatt Hale felt staying in the hospital to watch over Zoe would be better, but obviously, they didn’t need so many people around her.
Zoe Bell stayed in the hospital for two days, and William Hale moved his work to the hospital room. Although he was busy and not there 24/7, Wyatt Hale didn’t show up for a whole day.
When they met again, he appeared in the hospital room with dark circles under his eyes, breathing heavily.
“Wyatt, where have you been?” Zoe Bell examined .m.
“I…”
Before Wyatt Hale could speak, his brother interjected, “He didn’t pass his English Level Six this time. He’s currently striving hard, concentrating on his studies.”
“It’s still summer vacation; he doesn’t need to work so hard,” Zoe Bell expressed straightforwardly.

“I said the same, but he insists on it, saying that diligence can make up for his lack of skill.”
Not only were Wyatt Hale’s eyes darkened, but his face turned utterly black too.
Bullying him was one thing,
but saying diligence can compensate for stupidity?
Wasn’t that indirectly calling him dumb?
In a burst of anger, he stormed out.
Turning around, he huffed out of the hospital room and was about to enter the elevator when he unexpectedly ran into someone.
“Damn, are you blind?”
It was the person in the elevator rushing out. As Wyott Hale was already fuming, he frowned upon recognizing the person–how could it be him?
Ruben Fletcher also recognized the person in front of
him,
the younger brother of Mr. Hale from Capital City.
