Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 488: "I was thinking the same. Unfortunately, I was dressed in this gown and high heels, so I couldn't react swiftly enough to catch her," Linsey replied, her frustration evident.

She had noticed that the cleaning lady wasn't particularly strong. Had she been in more casual attire, Linsey felt confident she could have managed the situation better and uncovered what the cleaning lady was concealing.

Collin looked tense.

He was surprised that someone at the hotel had attempted to harm Linsey. Following the evening's events, he became even more hesitant about letting Linsey venture out alone.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone investigate this matter," Collin reassured her.

He was determined to ensure that no one who tried to harm or deceive Linsey would escape accountability.

Collin then stood, wrapped his arm securely around her waist, and effortlessly lifted her into his arms.

Linsey naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, finding comfort in his secure hold.

As Collin started to move, Linsey felt puzzled and asked, "Where are we going?"

"I'm taking you to a nearby clinic to have your ankle checked. If the injury is severe, we'll head to the hospital for a comprehensive examination," Collin explained, glancing down at her.

As she noticed the concern etched on his face, Linsey's expression softened.

She tenderly brushed her fingers across his forehead, smoothing the worried lines.

"Try not to look so concerned, Collin," Linsey spoke gently, drawing closer to him. "It's probably just a sprain. I'm sure there's no fracture."

Collin's expression became even more…

More grave after Linsey's attempt to reassure him, Collin asked, "Do you actually want a fracture?" His tone was tinged with exasperation.

Startled by his response, Linsey replied, "Why would I want a fracture? You really do have quite the imagination."

She reached up to ruffle his hair, offering a comforting smile. "I was just trying to ease your worry."

Collin sighed softly, his voice gentle. "As long as you're safe, that's all that matters to me."

Knowing how concerned he was, Linsey chose not to bring up her health again.

Suddenly, Linsey recalled something urgent.

"By the way, is it alright for us to just leave the hotel like this? The Lawson family banquet has probably started by now. Maybe you should return, and someone else could accompany me to the clinic," she suggested quickly.

To her surprise, Collin seemed not to hear her as he continued walking briskly out of the hotel.

"Collin, did you hear what I said?" Linsey asked again, a hint of concern in her voice.

Finally, Collin stopped and turned to her, his expression serene and composed. "Linsey, do you honestly think a mere banquet is more important to me than you are?"
