The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1684

Judging by Bryan’s response, Ida was pretty sure she was on to something.

“Alright, I won’t call for the doctor.” She followed Bryan’s suggestion and made her way to his bedside. “We’ll spare the doctor the trouble. You want me to help you unwrap the bandages to check on the wound?”

Bryan’s expression stiffened. “Uh… Ida, I’m really fine. We don’t need to check.”

Ida adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, her expression as serious as a judge’s. “You refuse to let the doctor check, and you won’t let me see either. Is it because you were never injured in the first place?”

Bryan blinked and quickly averted his gaze. “I…I was injured! Why else would I be lying in a hospital bed?”

Ida fixed him with a cold stare. “Okay, you say you were injured? I’ll check the hospital’s emergency room records now and see if your name is on the patient list.”
