Tao Yu’s mouth twitched, helplessly saying: “Since that’s the case, I can only tell the truth.” ”Nine, eight, seven…” ”That’s because I like you!” Tao Yu interrupted him, and to ensure he heard it, she deliberately raised her voice. As she spoke, the butler and security burst through the door, so this sentence was clearly heard by him, and he stared blankly at Tao Yu. Tao Yu hadn’t expected the butler to come even after the call was disconnected, so she was momentarily speechless. The two stared at each other silently for a long time, until the butler broke the silence: “Sir, the rehabilitation room’s phone was never connected, and I was so worried that I had to interrupt, I apologize.” After speaking, he looked at Yue Linze, waiting for his next instruction, while secretly thinking that this Dr. Tao was indeed a rare talent, but unfortunately she had no sense, actually setting her sights on the sir. The sir had always been most disgusted by women who actively threw themselves at him, and Tao Yu actually dared to confess to him – she would probably be thrown out of the house. Tao Yu was nervous, but this reason was something she had thought about for a long time, the only possible way to deceive Yue Linze. Even when she accepted the pay cut, she knew Yue Linze would be suspicious, and his subsequent difficulties only confirmed her thoughts. She was in a tough spot – following his instructions would seem unreasonable and increase his suspicion, but not doing so would likely get her immediately fired given Yue Linze’s temperament. So she had no choice but to take it step by step and come up with a story that could fool Yue Linze, and liking him was the least verifiable reason. But seeing the butler’s expression, she regretted it. She had thought her plan was good, but forgot Yue Linze’s own personality – he would absolutely never keep a woman who had designs on him in the house. She sighed inwardly, already prepared for her mission to fail immediately. The rehabilitation room fell silent, everyone waiting for Yue Linze’s next instruction. Under everyone’s gaze, Yue Linze was silent for a long time before slowly saying: “Today’s steak was good.” Everyone was stunned, and after a while, Tao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her lips curving slightly. The butler smiled and stepped forward: “If you liked it, shall we prepare this for tomorrow’s lunch?” Yue Linze made no comment, and the butler immediately glanced at the security at the door. The group quickly cleaned the table, and the butler bowed slightly: “I won’t disturb sir’s rehabilitation.” He then glanced at Tao Yu thoughtfully before leaving. Once the door closed again, the room returned to silence. Yue Linze’s fingertips tapped the wheelchair armrest intermittently, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened. Tao Yu knew things weren’t that simple, and while Yue Linze was still willing to stay, she immediately explained: “Mr. Yue, you may not know me, but I’ve admired you for a long time. When I knew I could be your rehabilitation therapist, you can’t imagine how happy I was, so I wanted to try to meet your requirements, even knowing they were unreasonable.” Seeing no reaction from Yue Linze, she paused and continued: “Perhaps I didn’t handle the boundaries well and made you suspicious. Rest assured, I’m not sent by any organization. If you still suspect me, I’m willing to accept any investigation, but I just ask one thing – let me stay and take care of you, okay?” Her voice was no longer businesslike, but soft with a pleading tone, sounding quite sincere. Yue Linze calmly observed her, the image of her rolling on the bed flashing in his mind. ”Mr. Yue?” Tao Yu, seeing him silent, began to worry again. Yue Linze curved his lips in a mocking smile, his starry eyes seeming to see through her soul: “You think, I would believe?” ”…This is just a girl’s long-time secret love confession. If you don’t believe me, I can’t help it, but rest assured, I won’t let personal feelings affect my work. I will definitely help you recover in the shortest time possible,” Tao Yu smiled, appearing to set personal feelings aside. She wasn’t as calm as she appeared. To hide her emotions, she put her hand in her white coat pocket, then realized this wasn’t appropriate and pulled it out. Her pocket turned inside out, and something round fell out. The floor was thick carpet, so the item fell silently, and Tao Yu didn’t notice she’d dropped anything, but Yue Linze saw it clearly. A round hard candy, seemingly the one that had fallen in the room earlier. Yue Linze stared at her for a long time before coldly saying: “Rehabilitation.” Tao Yu finally completely relaxed, her inner self dancing with joy, celebrating that she had managed to get through this. ”Let’s practice some simple movements, try to exercise muscle and coordination,” Tao Yu, afraid he might change his mind, immediately adopted a professional attitude. “Mr. Yue, can you first use the strength of your left leg to get down from the wheelchair?” Yue Linze gave her an indifferent look and said flatly: “No.” ”…” So Tao Yu repeated the morning’s treatment, massaging this big shot all afternoon. That night, she returned to her room exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. In the master bedroom, the butler, after hearing Yue Linze’s words, was somewhat speechless: “Sir believes her?” ”No.” Yue Linze turned a page of his book. The butler frowned: “Then why not make her leave?” The sir had always been intolerant of the slightest offense, so why was he letting Tao Yu off so easily this time? ”Boring,” Yue Linze said coldly. The butler was stunned, then nodded in understanding: “Yes, sir.” Since the car accident, the sir had barely gone out, spending his days at home either reading or handling documents, his life much duller than before. Now that a strange woman had come to the house, it could somewhat alleviate the sir’s boredom.
Since the gentleman is interested in Tao Yu, and he hopes the gentleman can do rehabilitation on time, leaving Tao Yu behind is no big deal. At most, he’ll carefully watch her daily and prevent her from accessing important documents.
So Tao Yu continued to live in the Yue family home. Although the eyes watching her seemed to have increased, and the housekeeper treated her more distantly, she still lived quite freely.
Another day of rehabilitation.
After massaging Yue Linze, Tao Yu couldn’t help but sigh: “Mr. Yue, you can’t just receive massages every day. You should move around more when you’re free to exercise your calf muscles.”
She had analyzed that Yue Linze’s two sources of hostility were, first, his family of origin, and second, his leg disability. The hostility from his family of origin, she believed, could be resolved by his personality without her help. But the hostility from his leg disability could only be dissolved by accepting the fact.
“Do you want to be fired?” Yue Linze asked coldly.
Tao Yu forced a smile: “I’ll continue to massage you.” It was only a mild disability, and except for a slight limp, he was just like a normal person. Yet he was extremely resistant, sitting in a wheelchair and refusing to walk at all.
His resistance to accepting his disability made her wonder when his hostility would dissipate. Thinking about the seemingly endless task, Tao Yu couldn’t help but sigh. Just as she was about to continue persuading him, a knock came at the door.
“Come in.”
“Sir, Mr. Gu is on the phone,” the housekeeper said seriously upon entering.
Yue Linze’s lips immediately tightened, and the atmosphere around him became heavy. Just as Tao Yu thought he might throw the phone, he picked it up and answered.
Regarding Yue Linze’s background in this world, everyone here seemed to know, so Tao Yu had learned all about it when she first arrived.
