Zoe was utterly exhausted, so she took the opportunity to get some proper sleep. She ended up sleeping straight through two full days and nights.
Meanwhile, Shawn kept vigil by her side the entire time until she awoke.
When Zoe saw the IV drip in her arm and found all her wounds had been treated, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
'Looks like the medical care here is actually pretty good. I feel like I've mostly recovered now,' Zoe thought to herself.
As she turned, Zoe found Shawn keeping vigil by her bedside. Shawn had fallen asleep in the chair. He must have been so exhausted and didn't even stir when Zoe woke up.
While Zoe was moved, he also had the idea of teasing. He directly reached out one hand to Shawn's face.
Shawn felt a slight tickle and instinctively reached up to scratch it, only to find his fingers closing around a delicate, warm hand.
As soon as Shawn opened his eyes, he found Zoe gazing at him with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. Shawn asked, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? I'll go get the doctor right away."
Zoe grabbed his arm firmly. Zoe said playfully, "Hold on! No need to rush. I'm perfectly fine."
Shawn sighed in relief. But Zoe pointed at her lips, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Hey, come here and check. Does my mouth look weird to you?"
Believing she was serious, Shawn immediately got up and leaned in to check on her. But the moment Shawn leaned in, Zoe suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss.
This kiss was nothing like Zoe's usual playful teasing. Zoe's kiss was a blend of genuine affection and playful teasing. Letting Shawn truly feel the depth of her feelings for him.
Chase entered just in time to witness the steamy scene, awkwardly clearing his throat at the doorway.
But there was nothing Chase could do Urgent business called him back home, forcing him to separate the two.
"Report," Shawn released Zoe and turned to Chase.
"Sir, we've completed the mission assigned by Command, but we need to head back and report in."
"I know," Shawn replied as he signed the document with a pen.
"Since you're heading back home, I want to go with you," Zoe insisted.
"Absolutely not," Shawn insisted. "Zoe, in your condition, you need to focus on recovering right now!"
Zoe said, "I'm perfectly fine! I feel great!" Zoe declared as she made to yank out her IV and swing her legs off the bed.
Shawn lunged forward and pressed her back onto the bed. "Get some more rest," Shawn insisted. "I'll go sort out the discharge papers for you."
After all, this foreign land is full of risks. Shawn just couldn't bring himself to leave Zoe here alone. Better to take her back home to recuperate.
It would be even safer to have someone keep an eye on her then. Zoe had no choice but to let Shawn take charge of everything.
'Being cared for like this feels so incredibly good,' Zoe thought to herself. 'I almost wish my injuries would take a bit longer to heal.'
Shawn handled all the discharge paperwork in record time. The same day Zoe was discharged from the hospital, the three of them flew back home.
Since Shawn needed to report to his superiors, he had no choice but to temporarily entrust Zoe to Chase, who would take her to the hospital for continued treatment.
Zoe had barely been admitted to the hospital when Aileen followed her back to the country.
Aileen just couldn't stand the fact that Zoe had won Shawn's heart, while she was left the loser. Unable to see Shawn, Aileen turned to pestering Zoe.
Aileen even went so far as to rent the hospital room right next to Zoe's, purely to hassle her every single day.
Zoe was just about to eat her hospital meal when Aileen barged in ostentatiously with her entire entourage. Right in front of Zoe, Aileen began ordering the chefs to serve her a lavish feast, flaunting her wealth and status.
"See that? Poor man like you are stuck eating scraps, while I reign supreme at the very top of the pyramid.
"Zoe, if you know what's good for you, break up with Shawn right now. Then I might still respect you as a sensible woman."
Zoe put down her fork with a teasing smile and said, "Ms. Carleton, are you sure you're really into Shawn?"
