I opened my mouth to respond, but the sound of approaching footsteps interrupted us. Thomas appeared in the doorway with a doctor close behind, Sean's demeanor transformed instantly, the hardness lit his eyes replaced by tenderness as he gently stroked the back of my head. "Don't worry," he murmured. "Let the doctor examine you. I'll step de for a moment and he back soon.

I studied his face, noticing the strain beneath his composed expression. "Alright, I agreed with a slight nod.

As Sean left the room, I turned to Thomas, "Sean's Injuries are serious, aren't they?" Thomas hesitated, his professional mask slipping momentarily.

ing his reaction.

"He's gone to treat his Bounds, hasn't he?" I pressed, watching Thomas sighed, resignation in his eyes. "Yes, Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Shaw hasn't left your side since you were brought in unconscious. The doctors have repeatedly urged him to receive treatment, but he insisted on waiting until you regained consciousness.

A knot formed in my throat as I imagined Sean sitting besidefor hours, ignoring his own pain.

"When he cto rescue me," I asked quietly, "was he pushing himself even then?" Thomas's expression confirmed my fears before he spoke. "When Mr. Shaw was first brought back to Shaw Tower, his condition was critical. The medical team worked extensively to stabilize him. The dectors recommended at least 48 hours of observation, but once he learned of your abduction by Mr. Blake, no one could prevent him from organizing the rescue mission." Worry tightened my chest. "You mentioned internal injuries? What else is wrong with him? Will there be lasting effects? "Mrs. Wilson, please don't concern yourself with this," Thomas said assuringly. "Your memory loss is far more serious than Mr. Shaw's injuries. Though he took a risk coming to rescue you, he's now receiving proper medical attention. I'm confident he'll recover quickly." My brow remained furrowed with concern.

"Mrs. Wilson, if you're worried-Thomas began.

"Can I see him?" I interrupted.

The doctor, who had been preparing his equipment, looked up. "The examination will take approximately fifteen minutes. If Mr. Shaw hasn't returned by then, you may certainly check on him afterward." 1 nodded gratefully and settled back to allow the doctor to begin his examination.

Fifteen minutes later, the doctor completed his assessment. I straightened my collar and prepared to leave the room to find Sean. Just as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, the door opened.

Sean stood in the threshold, his eyes narrowing when he sawattempting to stand. "What are you doing out of bed? Is the 1/3 Chapter 243: The Guardian's Heart examination finished?" Before I could answer, he crossed the room in swift strides and scoopedinto his arms. I gasped, instinctively wrapping my around his neck for stability.

He placedcarefully back on the bed, his movements gentle despite his apparent disapproval. The doctor and Thomas exchanged glances before discreetly leaving the room, closing the door behind them.

"You shouldn't pickup like that," I admonished once we were alane. Sean raised an eyebrow. "Why "Your Injuries," I reminded him. "You could reopen your wounds carrying me." A dismissive smile played across his lips. "Don't worry about that. You hardly weigh anything" I studied him skeptically. "Really? Then why was your wound bleeding so heavily in Europe? Wasn't it because you carried me?" "That wasn't the reason," he countered. "The wound had already reopened." "So you're saying your wound was already open, and you didn't seek immediate treatment?” 1 challenged.

Sean shrugged, attempting to appear casual. "Are you worried about me? That's in the past now. Regardless, I'm fine, sitting here in front of you. Isn't that enough?: So you think because you got lucky this time, you can act this way again in the future?" I pressed.

"That's not what I meant," he said defensively.

Fright I shook my head. "You don't seem remorseful at all. Otherwise, you wouldn't have waited until I woke up to treat your wounds. What good would it do for you to sit here injured while watching aver met My voice wavered slightly as emotions I didn't fully understand wellist up inside me-fear of losing this man I barely remembered yet somehow trusted implicitly. Sean's expression softened as he recognized my genuine concern. "You're right. I was wrong, and I promise it won't happen again. Please don't be angry with me." His quick admission caughtoff guard. "You're admitting you were wrong that easily? Is it sincere, or just to appease me? How do I know you won't do this again? "I promise," he said, 1, his voice dropping to a solemn whisper. There won't be a next time. I won't let you be taken away again." I exhaled slowly, accepting his promise without further argument.

"How are you feeling?" Sean asked after a moment. "Any discomfort since waking up?" "No, I feel fine," I assured him.

I wanted to ask about Christopher, but remembering Sean's reaction earlier, I decided against it for now.

"Theres something else I'd like to ask," I said instead.

Sean tensed slightly, his tone carefully neutral. "What is it?" 2/3 Chapter 243: The Guardian's Heart
