“It hurts, Zacharias uttered in a whiny tone. “Where does it hurt? Stand still, and letlook at your wound,

Shirley replied, her voice laced with concern. The man stood upright as she reached over to remove his suit and

vest. Then, she slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

His breath quickened, and he sounded increasingly breathless. He was simply too aroused by the woman's

actions as she removed his clothes. “Seems like you're getting used to undressing me,” he teased.

She glared at him and thought, Is he still in the mood to joke around? His injury probably isn’t too severe, then!

Nevertheless, as she examined the wounds on his back, fresh bloodstains seeped through his bandages, causing

her to gasp at the sight. She could only imagine how much it must hurt but was also impressed by his pain

tolerance.

“It looks like your wounds have reopened. We have to head back to get them treated in the hospital. You

shouldn't wear such tight clothes for now,” Shirley uttered.

“So, you expectto walk out naked then?” Zacharias asked playfully.

“You'd freeze to death.” She raised an eyebrow. The temperature was warm in the building, but the weather

outside was around four to five degrees.

“You do care about me, huh, Miss Lloyd!” He chuckled.

“Well, it’s my duty as a friend,” Shirley replied flatly. Then, she handed him his coat. “Put this on until you get to

the hospital!”

Zacharias took the coat over and carefully put it on, ensuring not to apply too much pressure on his wounds.

“The place is cleared. You may go down now, Mr. Flintstone.” Roy entered the room to give them an update.

With the rest of the man’s clothes in her hand, she walked out of the room with him. Again, she got into the car

behind Zacharias’, and they returned to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctors hurried over to tend to Zacharias’ wounds. Shirley stood by his side, but

when she saw fresh blood oozing from his injuries, she turned her face away, unable to bear the sight.

Surprisingly, the man didn’t make a sound, even as the doctor cleaned his wounds. She couldn't help but think

that he was indeed quite brave.

The doctor's forehead glistened with beads of sweat as he finished tending to Zacharias wounds. “Mr. Flintstone,

please try not to apply. any more pressure on your wounds if possible,” the doctor urged.

“Alright. Thank you,” Zacharias replied with a nod.

The doctor wiped his sweat off before leaving. the room. Shirley noticed a thin layer of sweat on Zacharias’

forehead, so she handed him a tissue. “Here. Wipe your sweat.”

“You can helpwith that, he suggested.

“Isn't your other arm perfectly fine and functional?” she retorted.

“Are you not my bodyguard?” he retorted.

She was left speechless, and she had no choice but to wipe his sweat off for him. As she did so, the man reached

his hand out and held on to hers. “I'm so glad you were with me,” he uttered as he turned to look at her.

“It's my job,” Shirley replied, pulling her hand away. “What are you planning to do after your three- month

internship?” Zacharias asked curiously.

‘I don’t know. | don’t have anything planned out yet,” she replied. Her father hadn't passed her any missions so

far.

Zacharias was somewhat concerned-he was worried that he wouldn't be able to see her anymore once she no

longer had to show up for her job. “Why don’t you stick around and work with me?’ he offered. ‘I can offer you

high pay.”

“I don’t need the money,” Shirley replied with at smile. “My mom’s company has more than. enough of that.”

He wished he had another way to keep her around. Suddenly, he found himself hoping for tto slow down for

the next three months.

Right then, Shirley's phone chimed with a new. notification. She scrolled through her messages while standing by

the bed, and her eyes lit up when she saw that it was a message from Cole.

‘I heard Mr. Oswald mention your name. Are you taking care of someone in the hospital?’ Cole asked. She felt her

chest tightening after she read his message. She hadn't told Cole that she was interning with Zacharias.

Suddenly, a large hand reached out to snatch her phone.

Shirley panicked and instinctively reached out to grab the person’s arm. However, she realized Zacharias had

used his injured arm to reach for her phone.
