Chapter 1369 - 1309: Planning to Hide the Truth from Her

Kiya took a step back, his face showing a broken expression, muttering to himself, "No! No way!"

"Sixth Master, Miss’s condition is suitable for flying." The doctor said to Adrian Desmond after finishing the examination.

Adrian Desmond said, "Take her straight outside."

The hospital bed is movable, and Adrian planned not to move Paige Desmond, but instead push the whole bed outside. They’re using a medical rescue plane equipped with all kinds of medical equipment and staffed with doctors. Once they reach Abyanabad, an ambulance will pick them up. Adrian had everything planned out.

Kiya stood in front of the bed, preventing anyone from moving Paige. "No way! I won’t allow it!"

Adrian looked at Kiya, mocking him, "Kiya, didn’t you say you love Paige? Paige has been harmed like this, aren’t you going to avenge her?"

"..."

"Or is it because the culprit is your mother, you plan to let this go? ... Kiya, your love for Paige is really cheap!"

Kiya clenched his fists but couldn’t speak, instead retorting, "Then what do you want me to do? Do you want me to kill the Queen Mother? Adrian, if you were me, what would you do?"

"You are not me, and I am not you. If my mother were still alive, even if she disliked Sienna, she would never use such a vicious method to kill her."

"..."

"If you don’t kill her, I will!" Adrian would not let the person who harmed his sister get away unpunished.

"..."

"Kiya, if I had known this would happen, I would never have allowed Paige to come back with you!"

After everything that happened, Adrian thought Kiya could protect Paige, but he never imagined Paige would almost lose her life.

Kiya’s eyes were full of gloom, lacking even the strength to refute. If he had known things would turn out this way, he might not have let Paige come back.

"Take her outside!" Paige ordered.

"Yes, Sixth Master."

"No!" Kiya came over to block, and because of the force, he bumped into the bed, causing Paige to jolt slightly, her eyelids fluttering before slowly opening her eyes.

The doctor was the first to notice Paige had woken up, "Sixth Master, she’s awake..."

Everyone turned to look at Paige, who had just awakened. Her eyes half-open, her body weak and powerless, her mind dizzy, only her fingers able to move.

"Paige, you’re awake?... You finally woke up!" Kiya said excitedly.

Paige was a bit confused, not even understanding why she was lying here. This seems like a hospital?

Why is she in a hospital?

"Is this... a hospital?" Paige’s voice came out hoarse, accompanied by a sore throat.

"Yes, this is a hospital." Kiya looked at Paige, observing her obviously unclear expression, wondering if she had lost her memory due to brain injury, he cautiously asked, "Paige, do you still recognize me?"

She moved her fingers, looked at his sunken cheeks, and said, "Of course I recognize you, you are Kiya. Why are you asking this? What happened? How did you become so thin?"

These two sentences took all her strength, her breaths slightly rapid.

Adrian also came over and asked, "Paige, do you remember what happened?"

Paige tried to think, her head aching, her mind flashing many broken images. She remembered riding the car to Horizon Mountain, planning to hike with Kiya, then passing through the intersection...

"I was in a car accident?"

Adrian said, "Yes, you were in a car accident. You’ve been unconscious for five days..."

"Five days?" Paige said in surprise.

"Yes."

"What about Erya? How has she been fed?" Erya has always been breastfed, now that she’s injured, how is her daughter eating?

Kiya said softly, "Ella has been drinking formula these days, she hasn’t gone hungry. Dylan has been very good, helping Oni look after her sister."

"Oh, that’s good." Paige felt relieved.

"..."

"When can I be discharged from the hospital?" Paige asked.

Adrian said, "Ella and Dylan are currently on the plane back to Sileria City, you should come back with me too."

Kiya stopped him, "Adrian, don’t say anything. Paige just woke up, her body is still frail. Once she’s better, I will personally tell her everything."

Kiya begged Adrian with his eyes, hoping he wouldn’t tell Paige about the Queen Mother being the culprit.

Paige looked at Kiya, then at Adrian, knowing something must have happened, and it’s related to her.

"Tell me, I’m fine." She’s not that fragile.

Kiya held her hand, his attitude exceptionally firm, "When you’re feeling better, I will tell you everything."

Paige looked at Kiya like he was facing a formidable enemy, took a few deep breaths, and asked, "Did you have an affair?"

Kiya: ...

Paige tried to give him a smile, "I’m joking."

Cold sweat gathered in Kiya’s palms. As he faced Paige’s clear gaze, he felt suffocated; if she knew the truth, she probably wouldn’t smile at him.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Adrian asked.

"Just very tired, and I want to sleep." Paige yawned and fell asleep again after only a few words.

Kiya tucked her in, brushed her cheeks, and looked at her with an expression full of tenderness, "Sleep..."

Kiya turned to Adrian and said, "Let’s talk!"

"I have nothing to talk to you about!"

"But I have something to say to you!" Kiya grabbed Adrian’s arm, trying to pull him away, but Adrian shrugged him off.

Adrian no longer trusted this man.

"... I will give you an explanation, but you can’t tell her that my mother tried to murder Paige." Kiya looked at Paige’s cold expression and said with difficulty, "I’ll send my mother to a temple until she dies of old age... I beg you not to tell Paige the truth about the car accident."

If the truth were revealed, he and Paige would be finished.

"Staying at a temple? Are you planning to have your mother go there for self-cultivation?" Adrian laughed derisively.

This punishment is too light.

Paige almost lost her life.

Adrian said, "I won’t hide this matter from Paige. I will tell Paige that the Queen Mother almost killed her. In the end, how to decide, Paige needs to make that decision."

"Adrian, are you determined to force me?" Kiya said angrily.

"She’s my sister, my own sister! I won’t allow anyone to hurt her! Kiya, unless you kill the Queen Mother, I will tell Paige everything..."

Kiya directly went at Adrian, but Kiya was no match for Adrian, whose fists were as hard as iron, shattering the solid wooden table with one punch.
