Rosemary’s eyes softened, her lips curling into a gentle smile as she said, "You’re quite easily contented."
"I think I’m the greedy one, being able to be with soone as wonderful as you. I’ll have to work harder from now on," Roo said, his touch light as he applied ointnt to her wounds. "You—just you—outweigh everything in the world. You’re enough to resist any temptation. In this life, you alone are enough for ."
Her gaze ward even further at his words.
"Does it hurt?" Roo asked as he gently rubbed ointnt onto her back wound.
"Your touch is much lighter than those of the guys," she noted.
He must have a knack for dicine.
When she had been unconscious, soone had dumped way too much powder on her wound, causing her excruciating pain.
After Roo finished applying the ointnt, he gently kissed her on a spot that was not injured.
The soft touch made Rosemary lift her eyes, her beautiful side profile reflected in his eyes.
Roo leaned in again, unable to resist eting her lips.
A soft sense of love passed from their lips, and Rosemary slowly responded to his kiss.
Their feelings for each other intertwined, as they found themselves unable to pull away.
Boss: At that mont, Jack walked in, knocking on the door as he usually did, with a few others trailing behind him.
Seeing Roo on one knee, kissing the girl on the bed, Jack and the others stared in disbelief.
Although Rosemary’s back was covered by her clothes, Roo imdiately pulled the blanket over her body to shield her.
Both of their lips were still red, the affection in their eyes still visible.
"Did I say you could co in?" Rosemary’s voice was slightly seductive, her eyes lighting up when she saw Jack, Tom, and the others with bruised faces.
"You guys got hurt?"
"No biggie, Boss. We wanted to escort you back," Jack explained, still worried about them boarding the plane with such few numbers.
Seeing their injuries, Rosemary decided, "You guys stay here and heal."
"Boss." Jack wanted to protest but held back. Instead, he said, "We’ll co find you once we’re fully healed."
Hearing this, Jack and the others were overjoyed. "We’ll take good care of ourselves!"
"You guys have worked hard this month. Everyone gets a tenfold bonus."
Their eyes lit up with jubilation. "Long live the Boss!"
"Go take care of your wounds."
"Boss, are you feeling better?" Jack couldn’t help but ask. "Do you need to contact the doctor so he can check on you when you get back?"
"No need."
"Enough with the chatter." Jones yanked Jack away. "They’re having a mont, why are you ddling?"
"There’s nothing wrong with talking to my Boss!"
"Your Boss needs to date to get married. Leave them alone!"
Downstairs, Clark noticed Carol’s finger twitch. He couldn’t believe it, but he was overjoyed. Not long after, Carol opened her eyes, squinting as she tried to adjust to the light.
She was already a vision of ethereal beauty, and the mont she opened her eyes, she looked even more breathtaking.
Clark finally saw a living person, and he exclaid with excitent and caution, "Carol?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Carol paused, her gaze falling onto Clark, seemingly in disbelief. "Clark?"
"You’re finally awake." Clark’s voice wavered as he hugged her tightly. "Thank God, you’re finally awake."
Thank heavens—his girl was finally awake.
Carol didn’t even know how she ended up there, but as she felt the familiar yet long-missed embrace of the man, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Instinctively, she hugged him back.
"Is this a dream?" Carol closed her eyes, deeply inhaling his scent. "It must be a dream."
She often had dreams like this.
In her dreams, Clark held her just like this—sotis joyously, sotis tearfully as he was now.
The only constant was that Clark was not by her side every ti she woke up.
The overwhelming void and loss had tornted her ti and again.
"It’s not a dream." Clark’s voice was hoarse as he fought back tears. "Rose brought you back."
Seizing the opportunity, he formally introduced, "Rose is my sister. We were reunited a few months ago. She went to Stardust Lane and told that your departure might not have been voluntary, so we followed the clues."
"Rosemary." Carol seed to rember sothing and quickly asked, "Where is she?"
"She got a bit hurt. She’s resting upstairs."
"Is her life in danger?"
"No." Clark stroked her soft hair lovingly. "Don’t worry, you’re safe here. This is her territory."
"This is her territory?" Carol asked again, lifting her eyes.
"Yeah, she’s the boss here."
Clark’s sister was the boss of Mafia Fla? Mr. Bryant??
This ti, it was Carol’s turn to be surprised.
"Didn’t your brother tell you?" Clark asked, his gaze softening.
"He only said that Rosemary was his good friend, that they’ve been through life and death together. He didn’t go into details."
As Carol said this, she noticed the injuries on Clark’s body. Rembering what Rosemary had said, her tears welled up even more.
"All these wounds, you endured them for ." Carol looked at his injuries with heartache. She was furious at Inferno Clan for daring to harm her man.
"I was careless, but luckily, Rose was there. She was the first to realize that sothing was wrong. The talisman you left —she was the first to discover it. She and her fiancé even went to Inferno Clan and brought back all the data you stored in your computer."
Hearing this, Carol felt a mix of happiness and embarrassnt.
Clark held her face and said with a grin, "Without Rose, I wouldn’t have realized how important I am to you. The three questions you set were all about . And when Rose lied to you about my death—the way you looked so upset."
Carol was even more embarrassed, but knowing that the data was in safe hands and not seized by Inferno Clan, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, she would definitely undermine part of Inferno Clan’s power and expose their dark deeds.
"Carol, I missed you so much." Clark held her face, leaning in to kiss the lips he’d longed for in the joy of their reunion.
Carol had already broken up with him and instinctively wanted to resist.
However, the longing that had built up over the year overpowered her. She missed him too much and found herself responding to his kiss, closing her eyes and letting the tears fall.
