entered yet when a nurse approached her, “Miss, Mr. Flintstone is asking for you to cin.”
Shirley nodded and walked toward Zacharias’ room. She pushed open the door, and Zacharias was already
sitting up.
Shirley immediately asked, “Are you able to sit? Shouldn't you lie down first? The doctor said you might have a
concussion.”
“I've been lying down for three days. | don’t want to lie down anymore.” Zacharias’ gaze was clear and calm. He
didn’t look like someone with a concussion. Shirley couldn't help but ask, “Do you want something to eat now?”
“Id like slight food,” Zacharias said. He was truly hungry.
“Wait a moment. I'll ask the nurse to bring sfor you,” Shirley stated and went out to find the nurse. The
nurse said she would quickly return with sfood.
Back in the room, Shirley looked at the man’s injured right forearm. Until the wound healed, he would find many

“Does the wound still hurt?” Shirley asked.
Zacharias nodded. “Yes.”
Shirley could only look at him with concern. Zacharias suddenly added, “But it hurts less when you're here.”
Shirley was taken aback. He was injured so badly, and he still found the energy to tease her. At this moment, the
nurse brought over sfood.
After placing it down, the nurse left. Shirley looked at the man’s arm and asked, “Can you eat by yourself?”
Zacharias shook his head. “No. You'll have to feed me.”
And so, she picked up the plate and scooped up a spoonful of food. Seeing that it was still steaming, she blew on
it before bringing it to the man’s lips. Zacharias’ lips curled into a smile. He obediently cooperated and ate the
food.
“Aren’t you afraid of revealing your identity?” Zacharias asked while eating. “I didn’t think that much,” Shirley
replied truthfully. After hearing about his injury, her inner worry made her want to see him at once.
He squinted and smiled. “Are you so worried about me?” he asked.
She raised her head and replied seriously, “Of course I'm worried. If anything happens to you, we all share the
responsibility.”
Zacharias listened, and his eyes showed a hint of displeasure. “Why can’t you admit that you care about me?”
Shirley choked for a moment. “Alright! | care about you, but it's only the kind of relationship between a
subordinate and a superior. Understand, Mr. Flintstone?”
Zacharias chuckled. “You still care aboutnonetheless.” Shirley brought the food to his lips. “Finish the food
before we talk.”
He then finished the plate of food. Having just woken up and due to the excessive blood loss, he obviously lacked
strength. However, het looked at the girl beside him and found himself reluctant to fall asleep.
“Shirley, can | call you ‘Shir’? Zacharias suddenly asked with a smile. Shirley immediately refused. “No!”

Only her family could call her that affectionately. He couldn’t. Just now, your great-uncle asked us how we met.
Guess how | answered?”
“How did you answer?” Shirley asked nervously.
“I said we met when we were kids,” Zacharias said. “We met when we were kids? How?” Shirley argued. If he's
going to lie, he should at least provide sevidence! Zacharias’ deep eyes locked onto hers. “We did meet
when we were kids. You just don’t remember.”
“Really?” Shirley’s eyes widened in disbelief. We actually met when we were kids?
She quickly asked, ‘When did that happen? Why don’t | have any memory of it?”
“That year, you were only four years old. You were just a little thing, so how could you remember?” Zacharias
couldn't help but recall her chubby appearance at the time. She was incredibly cute. This made him wonder if
their children in the future would be just as adorable.
Shirley also instantly recalled pictures of herself at four years old. At that time, she still had traces of baby fat,
and she was a little chubby girl. Her mother even said she was stubborn and refused to have her hair combed
and kept running around with messy hair like at little wild child.
