Chapter 73 A Glimpse Behind the Curtain

Got it, Chase said

Finished 

It was nearly dawn by the time they finally left the venue. The manager of the hall personally escorted them out, his face full of worry as he spoke to Wendy

Madam Wendy, we will take full responsibility for this incident. Avery’s medical expenses are on us. The boss would like to invite you to dinner as an apology.” 

Chase stood quietly by Wendy’s side, not saying a word

Wendy turned and gave the manager a calm glance. Her voice was light, but carried a weight that made the air tense

That won’t be necessary. Your venue’s menu could use some updatingnothing impressive. Tell your boss that right now, it’s not about whether I care. It’s about whether Ms. Lemon does. Instead of inviting me to dinner, you’d better figure out how to clean up this mess for her.” 

She casually pointed toward the entrance where a surveillance camera hung. Her slender fingers. waved slightlyand just like that, every eye followed her gesture

If 

If your cameras don’t work, might as well take them all down,” she said casually, and with that, she pulled Chase into the car without looking back

Chase leaned over once they were inside and said gently, No need to waste your breath on him. Waylon already said they probably weren’t involved.” 

In the backseat, Wendy finally let her exhaustion show. She sent a message to Sammy, telling her to cancel the rest of the public relations meetings and let everyone rest

I know,Wendy said tiredly. Waylon said the security team was likely bribed. Otherwise, how the hell could someone swap out parts and there not be a single trace on camera? Management failure is still their responsibility. Now both companies are getting hammered by fan outrage. We just calmed the gossip about my socalled affair,her usually and now this.” 

Her voice trailed off, weariness clouding  sharp tone

Chase pulled her close, cradling her against his chest. Rest a bit. I’ll wake you when we get home.” 

Mmhmm.” Wendy closed her eyes, letting herself lean into his warmth. Even through the faint scent of hospital disinfectant clinging to him, she found comfort. After a while, she whispered, You must be exhausted too. I’ll stay up with you.” 

Chase chuckled and kissed the top of her head. I’m your man. Of course, you come first. Don’t worry about me. I caught a twohour nap earlier.” 

That was a lie, and they both knew it

Chase hadn’t rested at all. The whole night, his mind racedrunning through surgical

flashing through his mind every time he closed his eyes

The driver parked in front of their building. By then, Wendy was fast asleep. Chase carefully carried her out of the car

Take the day off. Thanks for today, Chase said quietly to the driver

Of course, sir

The driver watched them disappear into the building, feeling a complicated swell of emotions

Not too long ago, he’d witnessed some tense fights between Madam Wendy and Mr. Chasetalks of divorce, tears, slammed doors. It had seemed inevitable they’d split

Yet here they were now

He couldn’t help but feel a little envious. Ordinary folks like him worked just to surviveno time for love, no energy for fights. But Madam Wendy and Mr. Chasethey were different. Kind- hearted. Meant for something more

He silently wished them happiness

Inside the apartment, Chase gently set Wendy down, took off her coat, and wiped her face with a warm towel

Wendy had left in such a rush last night she’d barely touched her makeupjust thrown on sunglasses and gone

Now, fresh and clean, she mumbled something in her sleep and instinctively curled into the blankets

Chase smiled faintly and kissed her forehead before stepping into the study

He powered up his laptop and began methodically documenting every step of the night’s surgery -sending detailed reports to the heads of each department. If any complications arose later, they would need a precise record to track the source

While he worked, emails slowly trickled in

To his surprise, the first reply came from Bernard

Attached to the email was a Facebook contact request

Chase added him, and they exchanged a few quick messages

Bernard: Chairman’s still awake?” 

Chase Just finished up. You too?” 

Bernard: Yeah. Got dragged out for an early breakfast. Oh, by the way, I noticed something odd

Chase sat up straighter, eyebrows knitting together

Finished 

Every nurse at Cloud Hospital was handpicked from toptier schools. Getting hired here was like winning the lottery: the competition was fierce. Those who made it were the best of the best

Bernard seemed to sense his confusion and called him directly

Chase quickly closed the study door so Wendy wouldn’t be disturbed

What’s going on?Chase asked

On the other end, Bernard stood outside a breakfast shop, steam rising from his mouth in the chilly morning air, a cigarette dangling between his fingers

Usually, ER nurses adapt fast no matter how bad the trauma. But todayBernard paused. One nurse. Her movements weren’t just slow. It was like she was deliberately wasting time.” 

Chase frowned. Couldn’t she just be inexperienced?” 

Bernard exhaled a long breath. That’s what I thought. But after the surgery, I asked the head nurse about her. Turns out, she’s been here for over a year
