' Ethan thought , heart racing . But Troy's men had sealed the whole place off so tight , not even a fly could have squeezed through . Right now , escape was absolutely impossible - even a fly would be stuck .

Ethan didn't argue or try to defend himself , and that was all the confirmation Troy needed . ' He definitely messed with Monica , Troy thought , his anger surging uncontrollably . He couldn't stand it anymore . Troy spun around and snapped at the man leading his crew , " Frank , get them out of here .

" Ethan shouted , his voice trembling with fear . " Troy , please , just let me go ! We can talk this out , I swear ! " Ethan begged , his words spilling out in a panicked rush .

Just as Teresa felt the weight lift off her chest , her phone rang - talk about timing . She glanced down and , to her surprise , saw it was Charles calling . Monica was awake , but she didn't say anything . She simply lay limply against Yvonne , eyes wide open and fixed on some invisible point - completely unresponsive , as if she'd lost herself . Teresa couldn't deal with Charles right now , so she just rejected his call , hanging up on him without hesitation .

Teresa sat by the hospital bed , staying by Yvonne's side as they watched over Monica together . " Monica , look at Mommy , sweetheart . Please don't scare Mommy , okay ? " Yvonne pleaded , her voice trembling with worry . " Monica , your Aunt Teresa is here too . You always say you miss me the most , don't you ? I'm right beside you , " Teresa added softly , trying to comfort her . But Monica still wouldn't say anything , and Yvonne just lost it - she started crying , overwhelmed with worry .

I'm so sorry for letting you get hurt ," Yvonne sobbed , her voice heavy with guilt . Teresa joined in and hugged Monica too . " It's my fault too , Monica .

With Yvonne there with Monica , Teresa decided to head out and pick up some food for her . As Teresa stepped out of the hospital room , she noticed that Frank was still standing guard right by the door .

Frank saw her , gave a respectful nod , and greeted her , " Sister - in - law . " Teresa was taken aback for a moment , then it clicked what he meant by calling her that . She thought about explaining , but decided it wasn't worth the trouble and just let it slide . No point arguing - since Troy was running the show , these guys would only take orders from him anyway . No matter how much she explained , it was obvious words wouldn't change a thing with these people . Teresa started worrying about Troy - he still hadn't shown up . Feeling uneasy , she asked Frank , " Hey , where's Troy ?

Why hasn't he come over yet ? " Frank avoided her gaze , fidgeting awkwardly . " Uh ..." He looked really hesitant , like he was afraid to give an answer . Teresa caught Frank's shifty eyes , and just as she was about to press him for answers , Troy's swaggering voice echoed behind her , full of that trademark arrogance . " I'm right here . What , you missed me already ? Couldn't stand being apart for even a few minutes ? " Teresa spun around and saw Troy , still in that same black trench coat from earlier .

But under the hospital lights , she couldn't help but notice - his face looked a shade paler , almost ghostly . Teresa didn't bother with any more questions . She just marched right up to him and said , " Let me see your wound . " But Troy refused to let her get anywhere close - every time she moved forward , he backed away even further . " I'm fine , you don't need to see it , " he said , trying to brush her off . Teresa's patience snapped . She shot him a stern look and barked , " Troy , you better stand still right there .

" At her command , Troy actually stopped in his tracks , standing obediently just as she ordered . After last time , Teresa could spot Troy's tactics from a mile away - dodging her was a dead giveaway . His wound had definitely split open again . 17:14 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 336 : Once he stood still , Teresa marched straight over . 53 55 vouchers Getting close , she didn't hesitate to reach out and lift up the hem of his shirt under the trench coat . As the shirt came up , Troy's abs - tight and toned - were revealed , his tan skin almost gleaming honey - gold under the hospital lights .

Just looking at his body made Teresa's own skin flush hot ; she couldn't help it , a rush of heat rippled right through her . But then she remembered she was here to check his wound , so she forced herself to calm down . People were coming and going right outside , but Teresa didn't give a damn - she just boldly pulled up Troy's shirt , not caring one bit who saw . Troy didn't resist at all . He simply spread his arms wide , smug and relaxed , like he was enjoying every second of her attention .

He stood there , fearless and shameless , practically showing off his entire body for Teresa without even a hint of embarrassment . Seeing Teresa's ears turn bright red , Troy let out a teasing chuckle . " Sweetheart , if you want to look or play , let's save it for when we get home . Don't you feel awkward with all these people watching ? " Teresa wasn't about to let Troy's teasing phase her - she stubbornly kept hiking up his shirt , all the way to his chest , not caring one bit that people could see .

Once his chest was bared , she immediately noticed the gauze covering his wound - it was freshly changed . But even though the bandages were new , vivid scarlet blood was already oozing through , staining the fabric all over again . ' Figures . He must've gotten himself into another brawl back in the studio , Teresa thought , a mix of annoyance and worry swirling inside her . Seeing the blood trickling still , Teresa's temper flared . She glared at Troy , snapping , " Troy, do you have a death wish or something ?

" Her eyes reddened , tears welling up as she pressed him - unable to hold back her anger and worry . Troy lowered his gaze to her , realizing she was truly upset - and that all this anger was really just her way of caring about him . Seeing her break down in tears , Troy was totally flustered , not knowing what to do for a moment . He rushed to explain , " No way , Sweetheart ! Of course I want to live - I haven't even made you my wife yet , how could I give up now ? I've got a million things left to do , especially with you . Believe me , I'm not stupid enough to risk my life !

" Teresa looked up at him , tears streaming down her face . " If you don't listen to me again , I swear I won't give a damn what happens to you anymore ." 17:14 Mon , Oct 20 Chapter 336 53 55 vouchers Troy hurried to reassure her , " I'll listen , I promise ! From now on , no matter what , I'll do whatever you say , Sweetheart . " Teresa reached out to him , her voice choked with tears . " Hold onto me . I'll get the doctor to fix you up again . " Troy grabbed her arm without hesitation and kept up with her quick steps . " You're the only one who gets to see me like this . Everybody else ?

They don't have the right ," he said , possessiveness written all over his face . Teresa didn't say a word , just stayed silent . To Troy , her silence was as good as a promise - she was caving in to him . ' She's compromising for me , ' Troy thought , satisfied . ' Maybe she really does care about me , ' Troy thought , a flicker of hope lighting up inside him . AD
