NovelApexChapter 1332:
It didn’t take long before she reappeared, carrying a fresh bowl filled with steaming chicken soup.
Gorman reached out, ready to accept the bowl and thank her, but hesitated. His hands pulled back at the last
second.
Turning away, he let out a cough and pressed his hand to his chest, sinking against the pillows as if the pain had
grown sharper.
He lowered his voice, almost pleading. “Linsey, I really don’t think | can manage the soup on my own. My injuries
are acting up. Would you help me?”
She gave him a look full of innocent honesty. “That's odd, because you seemed plenty energetic when you
jumped up and huggedearlier.” A flush of embarrassment crept over his face.
Recovering quickly, he explained, “I shouldn't have moved so suddenly. Now I've made my injuries worse, and |
can barely lift my arms. That's why | need help with the soup.”
Before she could offer an answer, he dropped his gaze and put on a mournful expression. “But it’s fine if you
don’t want to. I'll just manage somehow, maybe drink it straight from the bowl. It'll be a struggle, but I'll get
by...”
Her gentle nature won out, and she couldn't ignore how pitiful he sounded. “No, I'll help you.”
Gorman'’s face, strikingly handsin the soft light, turned to her. His words cout with pure sincerity.
“Thank you. You really are the kindest person I've ever met.”
His compliment brought a rush of color to her cheeks.

As she offered him the first spoonful of the soup, she decided to ask, “Gorman, can | ask you something?”
A gentle nod from Gorman signaled his openness. “Go ahead—ask anything you want. It makes no difference if
it’s just one question or a hundred.”
That encouragement prompted Linsey to speak up, her curiosity getting the better of her. “When I found you
near the water, you were in bad shape—blood everywhere and two gunshot wounds. What on earth happened?”

Memories tugged at Gorman, slowing his words as he replied, “Someone ambushedon my way home. They
chaseddown relentlessly, and in the chaos, my only chance to escape was to dive into the sea.”
Each the revisited that night, a wave of emotion washed over him.
Surviving such an ordeal would have been impossible without Linsey’s gentle nursing and quiet support—her
kindness had brought warmth to a life long starved of it.
Yet now, the notion that Collin had taken such a remarkable woman from him sent a shadow flickering through
Gorman'’s eyes.
Linsey listened with rapt attention,
her imagination placing her ri hein

believe things like that still happen.
Who could go to such extremes?”
Later, Gorman dug deep for the truth
behind his near-death experience.
