    Back To Work


    Collin noticed the worry etching Linsey''s features and felt a surge of


    He reached for her hand, holding it gently. His voice carried a warmth that filled the space between them withfort. "Don''t worry. As your husband, it''s my job to protect you. Just focus on your recovery. I''ll handle the rest."


    Linsey looked up, her heart skipping a beat as she took in Collin''s reassuring presence.


    She nodded slightly, her smile tentative yet trusting. "Alright. I trust youpletely."


    Locking eyes with her, Collin paused, the weight of her trust pressing upon him. He found himself reluctant to meet her gaze again.


    Herplete faith in him was clear, yet he was burdened with secrets he could not share.


    He longed to be transparent with her, but the threat of impending crises always seemed to snuff out that possibility.


    The menacing presence of Gorman, lurking in the background, was a constant threat.


    Revealing too much to Linsey could endanger her as well.


    He couldn''t tell her the truth, not yet.


    Taking a deep breath, he gripped her hand a bit tighter.


    Despite the secrets, he resolved topensate in other ways.


    As long as she remained safe at his side, he was ready to pay any price.


    Two dayster, Linsey''s patience with the hospital had worn thin.


    "Collin, I need to be discharged," she said.


    Collin responded immediately, "No, you''re not yet fully recovered."


    Linsey''s resolve was firm. "I''ve been here long enough. I need to get back to work."


    She was still in her probationary period, and any further dys could risk her position.


    Though her boss, Coen, had granted her a few days off after securing a crucial order, she could not afford to dy her return any longer.


    The project for Anthea wouldn''tplete itself.


    Seeing her unwaveringmitment to her job, Collin felt a mix of admiration and helplessness. "How critical is your job that yourpany can''t function without you? If that''s really the case, it doesn''t bode well for their future."


    Linsey bit her lip, wrestling with whether to disclose her secret. She worked for CR Corporation, the verypany to which

    he owed a significant debt.


    She worried that revealing this truth might bruise his pride, so she had kept her employment at CR Corporation hidden


    from him.


    "I really need to go back, okay?" Linsey insisted with a note of urgency.


    Collin exhaled slowly, his concern evident. "What kind of work is it? Maybe I can help out a bit."


    Linsey paused, considering her words carefully. She decided it was safe to mention her client as long as she steered clear


    of revealing her employer.


    "It''s just an important client," she finally said.


    As she spoke, a memory shed through her mind. She recalled seeing Collin''s


    car leave Anthea''s vi on her first visit


    there.


    "By the way, Collin, how do you know Anthea kely? She''s my client this time, and I think I saw your car at her vi," she added.


    Collin was visibly taken aback, the connection catching him off guard.


    He managed to maintain hisposure as he exined, "Myte mother and Anthea were old friends. I was just paying her a visit that day."


    Linsey was surprised by this revtion.


    She knew that Collin''s biological mother had passed away many years ago and decided not to delve deeper, not wanting to stir up painful memories.


    Just as she was about to steer the conversation away, Collin looked at her intently. "People say Anthea has close ties to the founder of CR Corporation. Are you trying to use her to gather information about the founder?" he said.
