Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1006: From Dolores' perspective, Collin might not have treated Linsey perfectly, but at least he wouldn't hurt her. Gorman was another story entirely. He had done things most people could never accept. Because of that, Dolores would never let Gorman near Linsey again. Gorman caught the strained smile on Dolores' face and could tell she held no warmth for him. A bitter sense of irony washed over him. After everything he had tried, he hadn't gained Linsey's trust and had even alienated everyone close to her. That thought left Gorman wondering if he had truly been wrong all along.

At that moment, the hospital room door swung open. Dustin strolled in, relaxed and full of easy confidence. Behind him trailed several men, each carrying shopping bags. "Put the food on the table, supplies in the cabinet, and leave those bags on the sofa," Dustin ordered. His team moved briskly, quickly covering every surface in the room with their packages. Gorman's face tightened, and he took a few steadying breaths to keep his frustration in check. Even Linsey started to think Dustin was going too far. With a furrowed brow, she said, "Dustin, what's all this? Gorman needs to rest.

Please ask everyone to leave." Dustin heard her and quickly motioned for his team to clear out. He turned to Linsey and said, "Sorry, Linsey. I just wanted to help Mr. Green recover. That's why I brought all these things." Dolores blinked, clearly puzzled, and quietly moved closer to Dustin. Lowering her voice, she asked, "Did Collin tell you to do all this?" A moment ago, she had wondered if she was being too harsh by mentioning Collin's care for Linsey in front of Gorman, who was lying there injured.

Now, looking at Dustin's over-the-top display, she suddenly felt like she was actually being gentle. "No, this was all my idea," Dustin answered immediately, his tone almost casual. "I just wanted to show I care. What does Collin have to do with it?" Mσrε υpdαтes ιn Gαlnσνels.cσm "Alright, then sit down for now. We'll let you know if we need anything else," Dolores said, shaking her head and gesturing to a chair before casting a quick glance at Gorman on the bed. The friendship between Dustin and Collin was well known, so Dustin's visit today could only mean one thing-Collin had a hand in it.

Every time Gorman saw Dustin, he couldn't help but think of Collin. To him, anything Dustin did might as well have come straight from Collin. A faint smile appeared on Gorman's lips as he said, "Thank you, Mr. Wade and Ms. Davidson, for your concern." He knew exactly what they were trying to do. Collin hadn't shown up in person, yet somehow his presence in the room felt stronger than it had yesterday. Both Dolores and Dustin served as reminders that he would never get close to Linsey again, though Linsey insisted on caring for him herself out of guilt.

Thoughts raced through Gorman's mind, dark and tangled. The sadness in his eyes seemed to grow heavier, settling in his chest. Suddenly, a sharp knock broke the tense mood in the room. . . .
