Hearing his hoarse voice, Kristina felt a pang of sourness in her heart.
During the day, Trenton clung to Kristina every step of the way. At night, when they slept, he would hold her shoulders tightly as if afraid she might
nin away.
His face was buried in the nape of her neck, his even, hot breath fanning over her skin. Kristina couldn’t help but get goosebumps all over.
“Stay with me.” Trenton’s voice carried a tone of stubbornness
Kristina raised her hand and patted Trenton’s back gently, as if soothing a child, saying, “Sleep now…
The next day, sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains, casting a bright glow over the room.
When Kristina opened her eyes, she found the back of her head resting on Trenton’s arm, her entire body almost cradled in his embrace.
Trenton was propped up on one elbow, his eyes twinkling as if filled with stars, bright and lively.
Their eyes met. Kristina froze for a moment, as if forgetting to breathe.
Although they were already a couple, and had even had sex when Trenton was unconscious, this scene still felt unfamiliar to her.
Suddenly. Trenton took her hand. As she was wondering why, he pulled out a black card from behind his back and placed it in her palm. “Kristina, this is for you.”
In the McClain family, children were introduced to business knowledge by professional mentors from the age of three. According to rumors, Trenton had received his first black card at the age of five.
With his current mental age stuck at eight, this black card was probably the most valuable thing he had.
His clear eyes sparkled with an innocent brightness, and his sharply defined features were flawless, as if meticulously sculpted by God.
Kristina was taken aback. “For 1 me!
“Yes. Good morning. Kristina. Trenton leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead, asking with a hint of pride. “Do you like my gift?”
Kristina felt the spot he kissed growing warm. She stiffened, her heart suddenly racing, unsure of what to do next.
This feeling must be what they call having a crush, she thought to herself. She never expected that her first flutter of the heart would be for her former archenemy
“Kristina?” Seeing that she hadn’t spoken, Trenton looked at her, his voice tinged with disappointment. “You don’t like my gift?”
“No,” Kristina regained her composure, took the black card back from him, and said earnestly. “This is very important. You can’t just give it to anyone, you know?”
“You’re not just anyone, Trenton retorted, his eyes filled with an unwavering tenderness. “It’s my gift. Don’t you really want to accept it?”
Their eyes met once again. Kristina felt herself becoming more and more immersed in the moment, her heart pounding even harder.

“Kristina “Trenton looked into her eyes, his deep, husky voice carrying a hint of enchantment. With each call of her name, Kristina felt herself losing forus. In her daze, she decided to accept the card.
“The password is 981225, Trenton told her.
“Okay. I got it,” Kristina replied, slipping the black card into her bag
This was Trenton’s card, and the knew she wouldn’t touch a single cent in it. She planned to keep it safe for him for the time being.
After getting up, Kristina helped Trenton with breakfast, while Belinda stood upstairs, watching the scene with a smile.
Although Trenton was now awake, his condition was far from kdeal. Even the doctors couldn’t predict how long this state would last–whether it would be a day or two, a month or two, or even a lifetime.
When Trenton had been in a coma, Kristina had taken care of him personally. Now, she didn’t see him as a burden either. Seeing this, Belinda finally felt relieved
After breakfast, Kristina, as planned, took Trenton to another building of the villa for rehabilitation.

As the therapist led him inside, he looked back several times, seeming reluctant to
– At that moment, Kristina’s phone rang.
O POTE
“Do your rehab well. I’ll come pick you up later,” she said to Trenton, glancing at the caller ID.
“Don’t forget,” Trenton said, lowering his head, looking like a sad big dog.
“Don’t worry, I won’t. Kristina replied with a smile in her eyes. She took a few steps forward and extended her pinky finger to him. “Let’s pinky
swear.
Trenton hesitated for a moment before hooking his pinky with hers.
After comforting the dejected Trenton, Kristina stepped aside to answer the call.
“Kristina, why did you take so long to answer the phone!” John’s voice was filled with anger. “I’m giving you half an hour. Get back here right now
Without needing to ask, Kristina knew what this was about.
“Dad” she began, but the call was cut off
With a sigh of resignation, Kristina glanced inside to make sure

therapist was still with Trenton before hurrying away.
Not long after she left, Stanley kicked the door open and stored in. His gaze fell on Trenton, and the comers of his mouth twisted into a sinister smile. ‘Get out.”
Without hesitation, the therapist who had been assisting Trenton with his rehab began to walk outside,
As the sound of footsteps faded away, Stanley squatted down, his expression grotesque with mockery. “Trenton, you’ve become such a little fool”
