One glance at Alexander’s icy stare made him recoil instantly, plastering on a professional smile:
“Mrs. Ford, what unfortunate timing–I injured my wrist moving things yesterday. Can’t manage any heavy lifting now.
Helping someone up is definitely Mr. Ford’s job. I’ll clear the path!”
Ignoring her struggles, Alexander swept her into his arms and strode off the helicopter, heading straight for the main villa.
Servants, already informed, lined up respectfully at the entrance, heads bowed.
“Good day, sir!
Good day, madam!”
Their unified greeting echoed across the spacious courtyard.
The formality made Lisa uneasy. Her lips parted, but she swallowed her words.
Fine. No point arguing with this bastard.
Alexander carried her unimpeded upstairs into a shockingly large bedroom.
He carefully settled her onto the plush bed.

Lisa glared at him, displeased. “Alexander, are you imprisoning me? I want my apartment!”
“This place is ideal for recovery. Once you can walk unaided, I’ll take you back.”
A broken bone takes months to heal!
“No, that’s too long!”
Lisa considered. “I’ll stay a few days at most. I decide when I leave!”
She did need to avoid the aristocratic family’s attention–at least until the summit concluded safely.
Looks like I’m missing the summit after all.
Not wanting to upset her further, Alexander nodded. “Fine.”
He turned to the walk–in closet, retrieving a set of fresh cotton loungewear.
Placing it beside her, his voice lowered: “Can you change by yourself?”
He paused, then added, “Or I can call a maid to help you.”
Lisa immediately clutched her clothes, eyeing him defensively: “I can do it!”
Alexander gave her a long look but said nothing, turning to leave.
He didn’t go far, leaning against the hallway wall just outside, waiting silently.

Complete stillness from within.
Suddenly, a sharp crash shattered the quiet!
Alexander’s expression shifted as he shoved the door open and charged in!
The scene before him gave him pause.
Lisa had changed into beige loungewear, now hopping awkwardly on one foot toward the bathroom doorway.
A shattered glass lay scattered across the floor.
Seeing him burst in, embarrassment flashed across her face as she mumbled:
“I… just knocked something over.”
Alexander’s tense expression softened. He strode forward and scooped her up without discussion.
“Clumsy.”
He murmured, carrying her downstairs.
Below, an elaborate breakfast spread awaited–East meets West.
A maid presented a bowl: “Madam, this broth was specially prepared per the Young Master’s instructions.”
Lisa’s face instantly darkened. She remained silent.
Alexander waved dismissively, signaling the maid to leave.

“What happened before won’t repeat.
Everyone here is thoroughly vetted by Andrew personally. If any issues arise, I’ll wring his neck myself!”
Andrew internally: Pretty sure he’s jealous of my handsome head.
Alexander knew about the Royal Estate incident–Patricia’s sticky fingers had caused Lisa’s ordeal.
He’d never let such things happen again.
Plus, security here is top–tier; not even a fly could breach the electric fence.
Lisa silently sipped her Savory Rice Porridge, appetite gone.
A heavy weight settled in her chest!
Alexander placed a glass of milk before her. “You’re barely eating. Drink this for nutrients.”
Lisa shot him a frosty glare and set down her spoon.
Just then, Andrew entered with two doctors trailed by nurses.
“Mr. Ford, this is Dr. Lu for Madam’s wound care, and Nutritionist Melissa Tung Jr. Lui for her recovery.”
Lisa spoke first: “Andrew, please address me as Miss Gu from now
on.”
Andrew: “…”

Would calling her “Miss Gu” let him keep his head?
Alexander shrugged, “Just a title. Whatever you prefer!”
Such hypocrisy!
Andrew quickly announced, “Everyone! Take excellent care of Miss
Gu!”
“Yes!”
The staff chorused obediently.
Lisa beckoned to the nutritionist. “Could you help me back to my
room?”
Melissa immediately offered support. “Of course, Miss Gu. Steady
now.”
Melissa draped Lisa’s right arm over her shoulder, left arm around her waist, helping her hop upstairs step by step.
Alexander’s expression darkened completely.
Andrew mentally groaned. Should’ve hired a male doctor.
She just stole the boss’s job!
Dr. Melissa Tung asked as she walked, “Miss Lisa, do you have any favorite foods? Or any dislikes? I’ll customize your menu accordingly.”
Lisa replied calmly, “I’m not picky, but I’m allergic to milk!”
Alexander’s face darkened as if dripping ink upon hearing this.

This Billy–what kind of investigation did he conduct? Missing such crucial information.
Seems his head isn’t worth keeping anymore!
Billy: Why does my neck feel chilly?
Andrew: Billy, be more careful! Aren’t you afraid the boss will call the author to kill you off?
Andrew immediately instructed the butler, “Miss Lisa… ahem, Mrs. Ford is allergic to milk. Take utmost care–never serve any milk–based dishes henceforth.”
After speaking, he swiftly pulled out his tablet and added a note.
Alexander suddenly remembered the camera and headed toward the study, with Andrew following closely.
