Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 643: He paused, breathing deeply, then softly yet deliberately added, "I'm genuinely concerned about you."

Though her instincts screamed to say something cutting, Linsey held back, mindful that Collin remained with the Lawsons, capable of harming Myla at any moment.

"I'm perfectly fine, Collin. Your concern isn't needed. Just leave Myla's house right now."

However, Collin didn't comply. "I need to see you, Linsey." Linsey clutched the phone tightly, her voice resolute as she said, "I have no interest in seeing you."

"Then I'll stay right here and wait until you do," Collin replied calmly, his voice stubborn and unyielding.

"You!" Linsey was furious. He was clearly using emotional blackmail to corner her.

"Linsey, if you just give me the chance, I promise I'll clear things up," Collin continued, his tone earnest.

Without waiting for her reply, Collin ended the call abruptly, leaving Linsey stunned by the quiet click.

Staring numbly at the disconnected phone, Linsey felt her emotions spiral out of control once more. What exactly was Collin planning?

Though every fiber of her being resisted, she found herself hurriedly changing out of her hospital attire, preparing to rush over to the Lawson family's house. Carol's cruelty had left her injured and shaken-Linsey would never forgive her.

Yet Myla had done nothing to deserve Collin's threats, and Linsey couldn't bear the thought of anyone suffering because of her. Fully dressed and determined, Linsey moved toward the door.

At precisely that moment, Gorman entered the room, dinner tray in hand, accompanied by Danny.

Gorman's steps faltered as he noticed Linsey in her outdoor clothing. "Linsey, where are you heading?"

Disapproval clouded Gorman's face immediately. "The doctor clearly stated you're not fully healed yet. You really need to stay here under observation for at least a couple more days."

Linsey bit her lower lip, deciding honesty was the best course. "Collin went to confront the Lawsons. He's using Myla to force me into showing up."

Gorman's face darkened noticeably at the mention of Collin, but he quickly masked his reaction, casually asking, "Myla? Who's she?"

Taking a breath, Linsey explained clearly, "Cruz Lawson's wife. I met her once before, and oddly enough, we look quite alike. I suppose that's why I've felt an instant connection with her and grown fond of her."

She hesitated briefly, worry evident in her eyes. "Right now, Collin is at their home, and I'm afraid he might do something drastic. With the kind of power he has as CR Corporation's founder, Myla could easily be hurt. I have no choice-I must go there immediately."

A thoughtful silence settled over Gorman.
