...Of course, Lana.
She was tending to the shirtless Ian’s injuries, and after a while, Lana couldn’t help but mutter, “…You could’ve died if you hadn’t received treatment in time, you know? Would it kill to be a bit more careful?”
To that, Ian, who had been injured while helping Zivon into the ventilation duct, simply replied, “As long as Xavia and the kids are safe, everything is worth it.”
“…And how do you think that makes the people who care about you feel? …I-I was referring to your wife, of course,” muttered Lana who was quick to realize how ambiguous her initial statement was.
Thankfully, Ian didn’t notice, and he simply said, “Just bandage it properly so that she doesn’t notice.”
Nodding in response, Lana then continued tending to the wounds… and though none of her actions implied anything beyond the interaction of a doctor and patient, the proximity of the two still bothered Tiffany. She was also irked by the fact that Ian wanted to hide that fact from her but not Lana. Sure, he probably had that thought process because he didn’t want her to worry, but… That also meant that he wasn’t willing to share everything with her.
This wasn’t the first time either. She still remembered all the times they had carried out secret missions together… and every time he got injured, Lana would be there to heal him. Yes, they were simply doing business, but still… She hated getting left out, especially when another woman was almost always close to her husband…
In the end, she pursed her lips before silently leaving the plane…
Naturally, Ian had no idea that Tiffany had overheard everything, so after getting off the plane, he returned home to celebrate the children’s return with his family…
It was around midnight when the tired Ian finally returned to his room… but when he saw his woman tidying the bed up, he couldn’t help but smile a little.
