The ring in her hand was the same as the one on her finger, only different in size. They were a pair. If the accident
had not happened…
Aurelia clenched the two rings, thinking of how Neil had desperately put the ring on her finger after being shot, and
a painful spasm gripped her chest.
“He…” She opened her mouth, wanting to ask questions, but she felt choked and could not get a single word out.
Carter felt sorry for her and could only vaguely offer, “The bullet hit his shoulder, not a vital organ, and he received
a blood transfusion. He’ll wake up soon.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really.”

“Well…” Carter hesitated. His cousin had not told him how long he needed! It was ridiculous!
Carter had been an honest person with excellent academic and moral standards all his life, and now, for the first
time, he was lying—he was lying to a member of the royal family!
He rubbed his nose and scratched his head, his ears turning red. Finally, he forced a smile and answered vaguely,
“He’s just temporarily unconscious, and he’ll wake up soon. Very soon…”
Aurelia nodded and clutched the rings in her palm, clenching them hard. Diamonds were the hardest substance,
and a hard squeeze would hurt one’s hand. Despite that, it was precisely because it was so hard that it was seen as
a symbol of unwavering devotion.
Aurelia cheered up and forced a smile. “May I go in and take care of him?”
Carter was taken aback. This line did not seem to be in the script… It did not matter, though. Neil would definitely
like how the plot was developing!
“Your Highness, you don’t have to take care of him personally,” Carter said courteously. “We have the most
professional doctors and nurses in our hospital who will take good care of Neil. Of course, if you don’t mind doing it,
I’ll make arrangements for it!”
With that, Carter ran off to find her a sterile gown. While Aurelia went to the nurse’s station to change clothes,
Carter sent a voice message to Neil in his office.
“Neil, I’ve completed the mission ahead of schedule! Her Highness is personally going to take care of you!
“Uh, so can I get out of this now? I still have surgeries to perform and rounds to make. I really can’t get away!
“Besides, I’ve never lied before, and you’ve made me tell such a huge lie… You have no idea. I dared not even look
my father in the eye! Tsk, tsk!

“But Neil, Her Highness is really good to you! She looks so haggard, so you should cut it out in time, understand?”
Neil’s phone was under his pillow. He took it out with his uninjured hand and listened to each message. He felt like
crying.
He should have known not to rely on Carter! Why did he let Aurelia in?
Neil had told Carter to make the situation sound slightly worse so that the girl would worry for a while. It did not
even have to be that long—just until tonight!
However, Carter had…
“Neil, did you hear my message?” Carter sent another one.
“I hear you.” Neil gnashed his teeth. “Thank you so much!”
“We’re family, no need to be so courteous! Alright then, Her Highness is done changing. I’ll send her in now!”
Neil quickly hid his phone. He had Carter to thank for this… He could have wrapped up acting early, but he had to
shoot a sequel now!
