But Ava didn’t realize that in real life, no woman would, let alone her three–inch high heels, change into a slim dress and wear sunglasses while worrying about her lover’s safety. What was more, she hadn’t applied her usual bold lipstick, but her lips were still touched with a subtle peach color.
When she went out in the morning. Ava hesitated about what color of lipstick she should wear. But she thought the moisturizer would make her less beautiful, so she chose a peachy lipstick. Unexpectedly, Caleb noticed such a small matter. After all, there was a cosmetics subsidiary of the Mercer Group
As soon as Ava left, Colin walked into Caleb’s ward.
“Boss, Ms. Davenport has left,” Colin was at the door just now. Although he knew it was improper to pry into the Boss’s private life, he secretly glanced at Ava after she was exposed. Collin was happy when he thought of the angry look on her face when she had just left.
Colin, always cautious, couldn’t help but notice the two different sides of Ava when she was with and without Caleb. He had feared potential trouble if Ava married Caleb. Surprisingly, Caleb came back to Evelyn.
“Did you enjoy the show just now?” Caleb asked in a faint tone. Colin’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought. I hadn’t met Caleb’s gaze while looking outside. How did he notice me?‘
“Boss, it won’t happen again, Colin blurted out in a panic.
Caleb didn’t seem too bothered by Colin peeking into the ward. They had been together for quite some time, and Caleb
knew Colin well.
As Ava expected, it was Colin who reported her. However, Colin didn’t just say it without any evidence. He directly took our the transfer record between her and the reporters yesterday, his investigating talk with the reporters, and all the surveillance videos at the door of the operating room yesterday.
Colin didn’t say anything. He just handed these things to Caleb, leaving Caleb to judge. Therefore, Caleb was very clear about Colin’s attitude towards Ava. Just when Colin was in a state of panic, Caleb looked away and stretched lazily, but he accidentally aggravated his wound and winced subconsciously.
“Boss, did you hurt your wound?” Colin asked, clearly worried. Without hesitation, he pressed the button nearby and said, “I’ll get the attending doctor to come and take a look.”
Caleb lifted a corner of the quilt and noticed the bleeding gauze. Remaining calm, he questioned, “Why are you calling the doctor?”
Colin was battled by Caleb’s question. He had witnessed the wound bleeding and believed calling the doctor was the right thing to do at that moment.
Caleb looked into Colin’s bewildered eyes and asked slowly, “Why was I stabbed?”
Colin paused, sensing the seriousness of Caleb’s injuries. Caleb seemed clear–headed a moment ago, but now he appeared confused, as if he didn’t know what had just happened, or perhaps he was pretending not to know.
