The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 805

He took a deep breath, then continued:

"I've looked into Julian. He got AIDS from drug abuse and frequent unprotected sex with sex workers after that incident. He cherished his life, getting check-ups every three months. He wasn't infected the day he had the conflict with Cicely... so Cicely should be safe."

Seth's narrowed eyes slightly relaxed, and his hand, which was tightly clenched in his pocket, loosened.

Sensing Seth's mood change, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like the storm was finally over.

Not long after he finished reporting, Seth turned towards the hospital room instinctively, only to hear a familiar voice coming from the end of the corridor.

"Is Seth here?"

"Danielle..."

"Move, I need to see him!"

Samuel's face stiffened slightly, making him look a bit awkward. "Mr. Diaz, I ran into Danielle downstairs."

Seth's gaze was cold as he looked at Samuel. He turned and walked towards the other end of the corridor, leaving a casual sentence behind:

"Someone keep an eye on her."

Samuel was a bit confused. Keep an eye on her...Was this...to prevent Cicely from leaving? Or to avoid Danielle causing a scene?

No matter what, he'd better just follow orders.

When Danielle saw Seth, her hands clenched tightly. There was no joy or shyness, only careful examination and probing.

"What are you doing here?"

Danielle looked up at him, "What are you doing here?"

Her question carried a nasal tone from a cold. Her gentle eyes stubbornly stared at him, making her look wronged and weak.

Seth wasn't pleased with her question, but he changed his tone, "I'm taking you back to your room."

Danielle looked stubbornly at the corridor behind him and refused to leave.

"Seth, who's here?"

Seth's indifferent eyes finally lowered.

"Do you really want to argue with me here?"

His deep voice carried a distinct coldness. Danielle bit her lip and looked into his deep eyes.

Despite their calmness, Danielle knew that if she continued to push, the iciness in his eyes could explode at any moment.

She eventually compromised, biting her lip hard, and followed Seth downstairs.

Samuel had corn soup delivered for Cicely. Cicely was hungry and didn't hold back.

After eating, she couldn't help but go to the bathroom.

So, being injured really was a hassle, at least when it came to needing the bathroom, holding it in was too uncomfortable.

Once she got off the bed, she didn't plan on staying here any longer.

As long as she moved, the pain was inevitable, so she might as well ride this wave and leave. As to Seth, she never had any thoughts of getting involved with him again.

However, when she opened the door of the ward, two bodyguards suddenly blocked her way.

Samuel saw this and immediately walked over.

"If you need anything, just let me know."

Cicely leaned against the door frame, her face pale. She crossed her arms over her chest and smiled at him.

"What's going on?"

His handsome face was striking and drew the attention of all the women around.

Samuel breathed a sigh of relief, finally not needing to deal with Cicely anymore.

"What disease might I get?" he asked, his cold aura closing in as he stood in front of her, looking down at her.

Cicely took two steps back, "You're so smart, and experienced, what don't you know? Isn't this just you playing dumb? I'm just kindly reminding you, and consider it as a thank you for arranging this nice room for me..."

He scoffed, "When did your kindness become so valuable?"

Cicely hugged herself tightly, then put a lollipop in her mouth from her pocket.

"Whatever. Anyway, I don't have money to pay you back..."

Her chin was suddenly grabbed, and a cold aura instantly closed in.

"Do you want to owe money and not pay it back?"

Samuel's eyelids twitched slightly. Was Mr. Diaz really messing around?

Cicely was the one he had rescued, the room was one he had arranged, a few minor injuries had mobilized the entire hospital's resources, and it had almost caused chaos in the hospital...

Cicely didn't force him to do anything!

Now, however, he was forcing Cicely to pay him back.

This approach was truly absurd.

Cicely's misty eyes slightly furrowed as she looked up at his face.

This close, it was the first time in many years. His face was still radiant, captivating.

She took a moment to collect herself, then said, "You're loaded and powerful, never shy about splashing the cash on those women. Why is it when it comes to me, you suddenly turn into a penny-pincher? What, am I not a woman too?"
