In the corridor, King tried his best to relax. He could not look too eager, so no one would think that he was acting strange.
However, he was not hiding it well because no matter how hard he tried to suppress it, he was still walking so quickly it was as if he were flying.
When he reached the area where Reese’s ward was, he saw the werebear nurse who was in charge of her. He did not say anything and merely nodded.
Due to the nurse’s presence, he had to put on a pretense when he reached the door of Reese’s room. He knocked and said, “H89, I’m here to ask you some questions.”
Nurse Werebear retreated when she saw this. In this hospital, it was safer if she knew less. There were some things that she shouldn’t know about.
Reese had actually been resting in the room when she suddenly heard the knock. She knew that someone must be watching him from outside since he did not simply barge in like he usually did.
There weren’t many opportunities like this, where she could mess with him.
So she made use of this chance and pretended that she was asleep, not answering the door for him.
But who knew that this werebeast had so many shameless tricks up his sleeve? After two seconds of silence, when he realized that there was no response from inside, he guessed that it was probably Reese not wanting to let him in. This was not a problem for him.
“Okay, I’m coming in then.” He acted like Reese had answered him, and proceeded to enter the room.
Before the human and the werebeast on both sides of the door could do anything, he quickly locked the door with a simple click.
“What we need to discuss is of top-secret confidentiality, so the door needs to be locked.”
King explained, but whether anyone believed him was another matter.
Reese was wary. She wondered what this werebeast was up to again.
“Don’t be nervous. I’m just here to find out more about the situation.” King was still putting on an act.
But Reese did not believe his pretense.
She merely watched him perform silently.
Now King was not saying anything either, as if he was waiting for something.
Until…
“The werebeast nurse is finally gone.” King had been listening for any footsteps outside to determine if anyone was eavesdropping.
Reese nodded. She did not know that werebeasts even had such an ability.
But alas, he was still the same King who treated Reese like his own possession.
Once he was sure that there was no one outside, he immediately began to act wantonly.
After all, he felt that since he had managed to solve a huge problem, he definitely needed to be praised and rewarded!
Without any hesitation, he pounced on her and pinned her onto the bed.
“What are you trying to do now? You peeping Tom! Were you monitoring me from somewhere again this time?”
She did feel very relieved that King had arrived in the nick of time earlier, and she also felt an inexplicable sense of trust in him despite being in this unfamiliar place. However, she did not like being watched all day.
Such constant “protection” would only make her lose her mind!
“I did not!”
From the way she was behaving, King immediately knew that she was prepared to turn against him now.
Was he about to let her slip away? The mighty Black Dragon would never allow such a thing to happen!
“Hey, I was actually hard at work. I realized that they were not at their assigned stations when I did a check. I was worried that they would harm you, so I immediately used my authority to check which task you were assigned today, then I went to the pharmacy.”
The King of the past would not waste his time explaining such an embarrassing matter. But once the matter involved Reese—this woman who was more precious than all the diamonds he had collected over the years—even a mighty Black Dragon like himself still had to swallow his pride and explain patiently.
After listening to his explanation, Reese understood that this werebeast truly cared about her.
He was protective but still respectful of her privacy since he hadn’t actually been monitoring her every move.
But how nice would it be if he could maintain this righteous image, instead of starting to sniff around?
Reese was beginning to question if he was actually of the wolfhound species?
King was now on top of her, but he did not dare to press down too heavily on her. Meanwhile, he was thinking that she must have been a diamond in her previous life—why is it that he just found her so irresistible?
Although both of them were occupied by their own thoughts, there was a moment where they simply gazed at each other.
They could see themselves in each other’s eyes.
One looked mysterious yet earnest, while the other looked shrewd but gentle.
He couldn’t restrain himself any longer. King had actually wanted Reese to take the initiative to reward him by giving a kiss, but he saw that her eyes were wet and her gaze was full of trust.
He could tell that she relied on him. The feeling of being needed instantly swelled deep within him and warmed his entire being.

He suddenly cupped her face with both of his hands and looked at her earnestly.
Reese felt that it was rare for him to be so serious in front of her, so she did not protest against his action. She wanted to hear what he had to say.
“I’ve collected treasures that could fill an island, and a room full of my favorite diamonds. But right now, I think you’re much more beautiful than diamonds.”
She was stunned.
“I am also much stronger than diamonds..”
