The doctor nodded, turned around, and retreated to inform Moses.

Moments later, the door was pushed open again, and this time it was Moses who had washed, changed his clothes, and come in.

Jessica, who had been sitting on the sofa, passing time by peeling fruit with a knife, immediately stood up from the sofa.

Moses gestured for her to go out, and as Jessica walked to the door, she turned back around.

"My suggestion is... It would be best if you let her sleep for a while..."

Moses glanced sideways, and Jessica immediately swallowed the words that had reached her mouth, stepped out the door, and gently closed it behind him.

Walking to Gan Yuan’s bedside, Moses frowned as he watched the girl’s face on the pillow.

In the room, only a dim light was on, casting her skin in an even softer beauty and making the delicate features of her face seem more profound.

She was frowning, clearly not sleeping comfortably.

He lifted his finger to touch the center of her brow, hoping to smooth out her furrowed brow, but before he could touch her, Gan Yuan suddenly made a light moan and turned to her side, trying to roll over.

Opening his palm, Moses pressed down on her shoulder.

If she turned over, the wound on her head would be pressed against.

Feeling the sudden force on her body, Gan Yuan woke up with a start, and upon seeing the figure in front of her, she swung a fist at him.

Moses didn’t anticipate her sudden attack, and the punch connected squarely with his jaw.

He stepped back twice, and blood began to ooze from his lips.

Gan Yuan sprang out of bed and raised her hand, preparing to attack again, but when she saw Moses’s face, her movement stiffened.

"Moses bro..." She instinctively spoke halfway then forcefully swallowed the remainder of her words, her demeanor turning cold again, "Get out!"

Moses raised the back of his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, "I just came to inform you that your Duke has announced the annulment of your engagement."

Gan Yuan threw off the covers and tucked her bare feet back under them, "Then congratulations to you, you have accomplished your goal."

"If he truly loved you, no matter what your identity was, he would not give up," Moses said with a furrow in his brow, "The fact proves you were wrong."

Even though he wasn’t the one who released the photos, wouldn’t the man abandon her anyway if he truly loved her?

If it weren’t for him releasing that news, would Huangfu Jue have felt compelled to do this?

Of course, the answer is no.

Gan Yuan sneered.

That’s right, she was wrong, she should have never believed that he would let her go, if only she had prepared earlier, things might not have come to this.

Gan Yuan lifted her face, her bright eyes intently gazing into his from across the space.

"Yes, you’ve won, now you can go pop a bottle of champagne and celebrate your victory."

Her tone was devoid of emotion, filled only with estrangement, as though he was nothing more than a stranger.

Moses returned to the side of the bed, standing behind her.

"It’s all over now."

Gan Yuan remained leaning against the pillow, motionless.

"I know it’s not easy, but I believe that you can definitely do it."

Gan Yuan tugged at the blanket, "I’m tired, I want to sleep, please leave!"

"By tomorrow morning, we will be home, and the butler will prepare your favorite ricotta cheese rolls for you..." His gaze fell on her slender shoulders, and Moses reached out to pull up the corner of the blanket, "Everything will get better, we can start over. Trust me, Gaia!"

Start over?

Impossible!

She didn’t make a sound, simply closed her eyes.
