Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 421: "What was that for?" Dominic asked, clearly baffled.

Collin, completely expressionless, warned, "Don't smile at my wife like that."

Linsey smacked him this time. "Cut it out."

With all the fuss Collin was making, she decided not to push any further. She turned to Dominic and said softly, "Dr. Larson, I'll leave him in your hands."

Dominic nodded.

It was just a routine wound check and dressing, but these two were acting like it was a high-risk surgery.

Half an hour later, back in Collin's hospital room, Dominic studied the test results in his hand-and suddenly wanted to take back his earlier confidence.

His brows furrowed as he examined the X-rays, his expression growing more serious by the second.

Linsey's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Is it serious?"

Dominic glanced at Collin. "Seeing how calm he looked, I assumed his injuries weren't too bad. But his arm bone is nearly broken. And on top of that, his other wounds barely missed vital areas."

He let out a sharp breath before turning to Collin. "What were you thinking? You're practically risking your life!"

Sometimes, he forgot just how much pain Collin could endure.

Collin's pain tolerance was far beyond what most people could handle.

Linsey's heart skipped a beat at Dominic's words.

It was that serious?

She quickly glanced at Collin's arm, worry and lingering fear clouding her face.

When he saw her on the verge of tears, Collin's breath tightened. His voice came out low and hoarse as he reassured her, "It's really not that bad. For me, this is just a minor injury-Dominic's exaggerating. Once we're home, I'll rest properly and recover in no time."

At that moment, Collin's mind was occupied with thoughts of Linsey agreeing to look after Gorman in the hospital.

For him, the severity of the injury was irrelevant compared to this concern.

He was painfully aware of Gorman's intentions towards Linsey-it was unthinkable to just watch his wife caring for another man.

When Linsey heard what Collin said, her expression turned stern. "You need to remain hospitalized. Listen, Collin, if you persist in this, you might as well not bother coming back home ever again."

Collin instantly ceased speaking, wisely choosing not to challenge her, and silently agreed to Linsey's command.

Dominic, on the other hand, found the situation quite amusing. Dealing with Collin's stubbornness regarding medical care had always been a challenge.

Finally, there was someone who could manage him.

Trying to mask his delight, Dominic handed a tube of ointment to Linsey.

"I've finished treating the injury on his arm. He should keep the bandage on for the next few days. For his other wounds, you'll need to apply this ointment."

Linsey nodded without hesitation. "Okay."

Dominic wasted no time and swiftly exited the room.

Setting up a chair next to the bed, Linsey dipped a cotton swab into the ointment and gently applied it to the cut near Collin's mouth. His face, usually striking, was marred by bruises, tugging at her heartstrings.
