Jeffred hurled his phone to the ground, and the iPhone he just bought was smashed into pieces. The
man would have exploded in fury if he could. Just before he could cause any further damage, his son
came back.
Zayne didn’t even change his shoes. He ran straight to his father, complaining, “Dad, you have to help
me out here! Some guy called Kingsley insulted me! I want him dead!”
Jeffred’s fury flared even further, which was supposed to be impossible. “W-What did you say?”
“Kingsley!” Zayne gritted his teeth. “The guy who beat Mr. Lynch up! D*mn him! I will—”
Before he could finish, Jeffred raised his hand and gave Zayne one tight slap.
Zayne held his cheek, flabbergasted and astounded. “W-Why did you slap me, Dad? Y-You should
have gone after King—”
Jeffred sent his son flying back with a kick before he could even finish. “I’ll kill you, you f*cking moron!
Do you know what you just did, you idiot? You cross him again, and I’ll skin you alive!”

While Zayne was getting abused by his father, Kingsley came to Reene’s ward.
Cecilia was sitting beside Reene’s bed, and she got up right away. “Reene’s awake, Kingsley!”
Kingsley trotted to Reene and held her hand. It felt cold. “How do you feel, Reene? Does it still hurt?”
“N-Not really…”
Kingsley and Reene were both staring at each other as if they were the only ones in the room, causing
Cecilia to feel a little down. She had a forlorn look on her face, and she mumbled, “I’m getting some
fruits. You guys talk.” She went out with her head lowered.
Kingsley was oblivious to this change of mood in her, as all he cared about was Reene. He sat on the
chair Cecilia sat in earlier. “Don’t be so rash next time, Reene.”
“I… am going to do it the next time anyway.” She smiled weakly. “As long as I’m here, I’ll never let
anything hurt you.” She held Kingsley’s hand gently. “I’m your sister, and I’ll always keep you safe,
even if it kills me.”
“Reene…” Kingsley was touched. “That’s my line, Reene. I can keep myself and my sisters safe. I’m
strong enough now.”
The mention of his sisters reminded Reene of something. “We’re in Hill Crest Hospital, right? Is Alice
in? Did you guys meet?”
“Alice ran into some trouble, and she has resigned.” Reene looked worried, so Kingsley reassured her.
“But don’t worry, Reene. I’ve settled this. I’ll call her once you feel better and ask if she wants to keep
working at the hospital or open her own hospital.”
“I’m fine. You should see Alice.” Reene looked worried. “She’s not exactly the most extroverted girl, and
she doesn’t have a lot of friends. Losing her job must be bad for her. You should see her tonight. Don’t
worry about me.”
“But Reene—”
Reene interrupted him before he could even start. “I need to rest. You can’t do anything just by staying
around. Just go and see Alice, alright?”

Kingsley could not go against that, so he sighed. “Fine. Rest up, Reene. I’ll be back after I see Alice.”
He left the ward and took out the form with Alice’s number that Jude gave him, then he called Alice.
“Hi, Alice speaking.”
Alice’s familiar voice made Kingsley smile. “Hi, Dr. Kramer. Remember me?” He wanted to surprise
Alice after they met, so he did not tell her his identity.
“And you are?”
“Did you forget about me? I beat Jude up and got you the chance to operate on Bailey.”
“Ah, it’s you.” Alice was still sounding as cool as ever. “Why are you calling me?”
Kingsley chuckled. “I told you that you don’t have to thank me and just treat me to a meal. So how does
tonight sound?” He was not sure if Alice would give him the chance. She was an aloof woman, and he
knew she would probably not go to dinner with a stranger.
Much to his surprise, Alice only hesitated for a moment before she agreed. “Fine. How does five thirty
sound? There’s a home restaurant beside Hill Crest Hospital called Restaurant Lucky. I’ll treat you to
dinner.” She hung up, and a smile curled her lips. We meet again, Kingsley. She had actually
recognized Kingsley a while ago.
