"If I said yes, would you believe ?"
Alexander Johnson’s body froze, and his heart skipped a beat.
Last night, because they ca back so late and spent so much ti in a whirlwind, they both forgot to draw the curtains.
At this mont, the morning sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting its radiance onto Alexander Johnson.
Facing the light, Chloe Simpson looked at Alexander, the word "believe" teetering on the edge of her lips.
She almost blurted it out as soon as her mouth opened.
Just then, Alexander’s phone rang.
"Alexander, I’m attending a banquet tonight. You need to co with ."
It was a call from Selene Wilson.
The intimacy in her tone as she said "Alexander" and her commanding voice as his fiancée snapped Chloe out of her daze in an instant.
Ha, what was she daydreaming about?
Let’s not forget, the man in front of her was Alexander Johnson, the Crown Prince of the Capital Circle.
And now, he was engaged to the Wilson Family’s heiress, with the wedding already planned.
And yet, here she was foolishly asking such a ridiculous question to him.
What a joke!
There couldn’t possibly be a woman out there more laughable or pathetic than her in this mont.
What’s wrong, Chloe?
Did Lucas Hughes provoke you so much last night that your brain got fried?
In the end, Chloe didn’t ask anything further. She didn’t even want to know why Alexander ca to save her last night.
"Alexander, thank you for saving last night. I’m working on gathering the million you lent . Once it’s ready, I’ll pay you back."
She stood up, said her thanks in an even tone, and then turned around to get dressed and leave the apartnt.
anwhile, Alexander simply stared unblinkingly at Chloe’s retreating figure, lying there motionless.
Until the voice on the phone rang out again, reminding him of Selene Wilson’s presence.
"Alexander, did you hear what I said? Alexander?"
"...Yeah, I heard you. Send the ti and location. I’ll be there tonight."
Alexander opened his mouth as though to refuse, but in the end, thoughts of Gabriella Dyer, the Johnson Family, and everything he had endured over the years made him agree to Selene Wilson’s request.
"Alright, I’ll send the details to your WeChat shortly."
Selene nodded before hanging up the call.
Alexander put his phone down, clenching his fists tightly, still staring blankly in the direction Chloe had left.
His mind was filled with Jack Woods’s report about Chloe’s amnesia, the wild madness that transpired last night between him and Chloe, and the words she’d said to him.
Even with her mory gone, even without recalling who he was, she still couldn’t help being drawn to him.
Whether it was her body or her heart, it was unmistakable.
So, what else could this be, if not love?
Before, when he didn’t know she had amnesia and had misunderstood her feelings for Lucas Hughes, he could accept being cast aside and forgotten.
But now, knowing the truth, there was no way he would let her continue entangling herself with that bastard Lucas.
He was going to protect her, no matter what!
Especially thinking about how Lucas, that conniving scum, still intended to use Chloe under the guise of treating her illness just to provoke him.
Handing Chloe off to this man one mont, passing her to another the next—this, he couldn’t bear.
Starting today, he would never let Lucas harm Chloe again.
No matter how good Lucas was at putting on an act, Alexander vowed to expose his true nature.
In the end, Alexander slowly unclenched his hand, picked up his phone, and instructed Jack Woods: "Jack, from this mont onward, gather every piece of evidence you can find on Lucas Hughes."
"Yes, Eldest Young Master."
Jack didn’t show the slightest surprise. It was as though from the mont he uncovered Chloe’s amnesia, he had anticipated this outco all along.
However, the mont Jack hung up with Alexander and relayed the orders to dig deeper, news reached Selene Wilson’s ears as well.
"Finally ready to make your move, can’t hold back anymore, huh? Very well. Since Ansun Hospital is already so lively, how could I resist joining in on the fun?"
