He raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think that if I choose to retreat now, I will be doing someone a favor?"

At first, I had no idea what he meant. After a while, I finally understood. I stared at him with my eyes wide open and said, "Do you suspect that there's only a single person behind all this?"

The base had been broken into, Naomi had inexplicably gotten injured, and I had almost died. Three incidents had happened in total. They were all incidents that couldn't be linked together, but as I thought about it, they must be related somehow.

The showcase had been delayed because the base had been broken into. With Naomi hurt, the Lancille Village project was brought to a halt as well. If I hadn't made it out of the freezer...

Knowing Hendrix, he would bring me back to Jarold City and never step foot into Asherton ever again. Needless to say, he would take part in the Lancille Village project.

Thinking of that, I asked, puzzled, "Who do you think this is directed towards, the Milton family or the Roberts finally?"

Hendrix was not in a hurry to speak. His gaze fell on the porridge that I was eating. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Shall I feed you?"

I was stunned. I lowered my head and ate a few more mouthfuls. Then, I looked at him and said, "Okay, I've eaten. Go on!"

He stood up and didn't say anything. At the same time, a doctor came in to check on me. After that, the doctor looked at Hendrix and said, "Mrs. Roberts' body has recovered. She just needs to rest for a few days."

Hendrix nodded. I noticed that his attention was not on me, so I put the porridge aside as I no longer wanted to eat it.

After the doctor left, I got up and was about to go to the bathroom, but because I had been lying down for too long, I couldn't stand steadily. I fell down.

Hendrix acted quick, saving me from my fall. His eyes darkened slightly as he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Going to the bathroom!" I said. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and I felt a little embarrassed.

As if it was something natural, he scooped me up into his arms and went into the bathroom. He got me to lean on him and was going to undo my

trousers.

I was so shocked that I quickly held him back, and my face was burning hot. I exclaimed, "Hendrix, I can do this by myself. You can go out first!"

He frowned, "What are you afraid of? I've seen every part of you."

How could our current predicament be the same as that?

I pushed him and said, "Things are different. Just please leave. I can do this on my own!"

He took my hand off and said, "Two days ago, I changed your diaper. You're my wife, so it's normal to take care of you like this. When I get old and sick, you will take care of me like this too. Don't think too much about it!"

I touched my forehead. As expected, once a couple had been together for a long time, they wouldn't have any privacy at all.

Being in a coma was definitely different than being awake. I pushed him away and said in a serious tone, "That was because I was unconscious. Now that I've woken up, I want to do it myself. Wait for me outside. If I need help, I will call out for you. Okay?"

He finally succumbed after giving me a look, reminding me, "Be careful!"

I nodded.

Looking at his back, I couldn't help sighing. If it weren't for his handsome face and his body, I could almost mistake him for an old man who nagged me every day. When did he become so protective?

I stayed in the hospital for two days. After the doctor confirmed that there was no problem with my body, I was informed that I could be discharged from the hospital.

Over the past few days, Hendrix practically lived in the hospital. He had brought along his daily necessities. Evan was busy investigating the incident, so Hendrix managed his trivial matters by himself.
