Chapter 8
The hospital.
When Octavio arrived, the doctor was treating Brent’s wound. His shirt had been cut to pieces, only leaving strips of fabric stuck with blood that had to be wet with saline solution to be peeled off bit by bit.
It hurts just to look at
The person involved acted as if they were completely unaware, not even raising an eyebrow.
After a while, the doctor cleaned the bandage and reapplied the medicine, reminding before leaving, “Your wound hasn’t scabbed over yet, so be sure not to move it around, or it could easily get infected again.”
The doctor spoke earnestly, but the person involved seemed not to hear.
Octavio waved to the doctor, and the doctor tactfully left.
“After getting beaten up, instead of staying at home and resting, he had to come out and be a driver. Seriously!” Octavio said sarcastically as he sat down on a chair.
Brent turned off his phone, and before the screen went dark, Octavio caught a glimpse of the message.
Erica; “Brent, I brought Lim back to your apartment.”
Octavio clicked his tongue and said, I should have made a banner for you before
ming, with Unsung Hero written on it.”
Brent ignored his sarcasm and just asked, “Did you find it?”
Octavio:
Boring.
He had to work overtime late at night, and he was not happy about it, “She was enjoying princess–like treatment in the detention center, with the room temperature controlled at a constant 24 degrees, the only thing missing was a crown on her head”
He said, “Everyone said Xander took good care of her, but you didn’t believe it.”
Brent sounded unfriendly, I don’t think it’s a good idea to take care of people in jail.”
Octavio choked, then immediately spoke up for Xander, “He can’t take Lira’s belt everywhere he goes. When things went wrong while he was on a business trip abroad, he gave up on billion–dollar deals just to rush back. Don’t be too harsh.”
I just remembered something else, “I heard that Xander asked his family for help to dear Lira’s name. He forged a mental evaluation report for her and traded it for his marriage.”
Brent sneered, “If guilty, then need to be acquitted. What Xander did, is no different from saving her from hell and then pushing her into the fire.”
Octavio choked again, but managed to blurt out, “If you think Xander didn’t take care of it properly, then come back and take care of it yourself.” Brent didn’t say anything just quietly watched him.
Octavio slapped his forehead, he was so confused, “Didn’t the prince come back now?
Looks like it’s been taken care of
Octavio shut up, not only an unsung hero, but also a pure love–warrior.
Lira was chatting with Erica yesterday and didn’t sleep until late. When she woke up the next day, Erica had already left a note asking her to wake up and contact her.
She dialed Erica’s number.
Erica’s voice came sneakily, “Lira.”
Lira: “Did you go steal early in the morning?

<Chapter B
Erica: “No, went home.”
was like something big had happened that she didn’t want to talk about, her voice was very low, “Lira, can you help me with something?”
Lira “You said”
Erica: “See WhatsApp.”
After hanging up the phone, it took a while for Erica’s WhatsApp message to come through, a long string of text.
Lira quickly glanced around and froze.
How come.
In her past life, she didn’t remember anything like that.
Erica’s WhatsApp came in again, with the hospital address and room
number
Erica: “The master bedroom has Brent’s clothes, can you help me take them over there, please?”
Lira didn’t refuse. Not saying anything about her relationship with Erica, she wouldn’t refuse even for Xander’s sake.
Lira: “I’m going now.”
She put down her phone, quickly got ready, grabbed a few clothes from the master bedroom. She didn’t hesitate to take Brent’s clothes, after all, i used to be his house.
