Chapter 4 We're Getting Married Soon 83 +5 Free Coins It was the first time Ethan had ever heard Dawn speak in such a tone . He paused slightly , then came the sound of rustling . His voice tightened . " What happened ? Did you go to the hospital ? Where are you ? I'll have a friend pick you up ... " His concern was unmistakable . Unexpectedly , Dawn found his nervousness amusing . " My waist hit the table , it's not serious . " She took a deep breath and her earlier emotions dissipated a little . Walking over to the couch , she sat down and added , " I already went to the hospital for a check - up . The doctor prescribed some medicine . No bones were injured ." The other end of the line suddenly went quiet , as if the man had finally breathed a sigh of relief . " I'm not there . Can you take care of my wife properly ? " The way the word " wife " rolled off his tongue made Dawn's face heat up . It sounded so natural and pleasant . " What nonsense are you talking about ? " she muttered . " How is it nonsense ? " There was the soft sound of footsteps through the receiver , and then Ethan's voice returned to its usual lazy drawl . " Dawn , I'm really looking forward to the day of you becoming my wife . " Dawn was at a loss for words . She and Ethan were too familiar with each other . The sudden change in their relationship felt a little strange and a little ... thrilling . She decided to change the subject and teased him , " You weren't about to hop on a plane and come find me just now , were you ? " Ethan fell silent for a moment before letting out a bitter chuckle . " That was my first instinct . It only just hit me that I'm across the ocean . I had a last - minute business trip yesterday ." Dawn had been joking , but it turned out to be true . 1/4 21:55 Sun , Sep 14 d e3 Chapter 4 We're Getting Married Soon +5 Free Coins She wasn't quite sure how to feel . Something about it made her feel a pang in her chest . Before she could say anything , his voice came again . " I have a friend who runs a holistic therapy center . Go see her tomorrow . She'll take good care of you , and you'll recover faster . " " No- " " Dawn , don't refuse me ." Ethan's voice was gentle but firm . " We're getting married soon . Taking care of you is my responsibility . Especially since I'm not there right now ... You can even get mad at me if you want . Understand ? " Since returning from Sydney , Dawn hadn't experienced this kind of care in a long time . She sniffed and nodded . Realizing he couldn't see her , she whispered , " Okay . " The holistic therapy center Ethan mentioned was in the city center . When Dawn arrived , she realized it wasn't just an expensive place - it operated on a members - only appointment system . Even if you had money , you might not get in . The owner , Alice , was a stunning beauty and one of Ethan's college friends . After Dawn's treatment , Alice personally escorted her to the door . " Next time , just come straight to me , Ethan's girlfriend . No matter how busy I am , I'll make time for you ," Alice said as her eyes twinkled with curiosity . " But in return , can you tell me the story of you and Ethan ? " She was dying to know . Ethan had always been untouchable . Who would've thought he'd fall for a little girl like this ? After spending some time together , Dawn had warmed up to Alice . She liked this beautiful and straightforward woman . Shrugging , she answered honestly , " There's no story . We're only faking our relationship . " Alice's eyes widened in disbelief . She was about to press further when a surprised female voice cut in . " Dawn ? It really is you . " Dawn and Alice turned around . 2/4 21:55 Sun , Sep 14 d 83 Chapter 4 We're Getting Married Soon +5 Free Coins . A man and a woman stood there with their fingers intertwined , exuding an unmistakable air of intimacy . Austin looked around with a frown and asked , " What are you doing here ? " Before Dawn could respond , Alice let out a snicker . " What a funny question . She's here for treatment , of course . What else can she do ? Sightseeing ? " Most people would be cautious about offending clients , but Alice had never been one to flatter anyone . She didn't make a living by catering to cgos . Her words instantly left Austin and Sydney speechless and their expressions shifted awkwardly . Dawn wanted to laugh but found that she couldn't . Austin had completely forgotten she was injured , yet here he was , bringing Sydney to a place like this . His priorities couldn't have been clearer . She was fine with it . It spared her a lot of unnecessary entanglements . She tugged at Alice's sleeve and murmured , " That's my Uncle Austin ... and Aunt Sydney ." Alice raised a brow . Her sharp eyes instantly picked up on the unusual dynamic . She smiled sweetly and said , " Oh , my apologies . I didn't realize you were her elders . I tend to be blunt - please don't take offense ." Dawn was used to it , but somehow , hearing the word " elders " come from Alice's mouth carried an unmistakable hint of mockery . Especially since Alice wasn't much younger than Austin and Sydney . Austin's expression darkened . After a long pause , he asked , " Ms. Alice , you and Dawn seem close , huh ? " " Not really , but I'm close with her ... " Dawn exchanged a subtle glance with Alice . Catching on immediately , Alice smoothly changed the subject . " All my clients start as strangers and become good friends with me . It's the same for you guys when you come back next time . " Dawn sighed in relief secretly . Following Alice's lead , she added , " Yeah , Alice's skills are great . We had a nice chat . " O 3/4 Chapter 4 We're Getting Married Soon +5 Free Coins It was only then that Austin seemed to remember Dawn's injury . She had said it wasn't serious , and he had promptly forgotten about it . He frowned slightly and asked with concern , " How's your back now ? Are you feeling better ? " Sydney , who was standing by the side , caught the worry in his eyes . Her gaze darkened but she said nothing . Dawn , on the other hand , had long since become immune to his belated concern . It neither moved her nor saddened her . She simply replied nonchalantly , " I'm much better ." Austin looked at her expression and assumed she was upset . He tightened his grip on Sydney's hand for a brief moment before letting go . Dawn had a fiery temper . If she caused a scene here , it wouldn't look good . Sydney lowered her gaze at her now - empty hand and couldn't help but clenched her fist in anger . Austin didn't notice anything . He simply assumed the role of an elder and spoke in a firm tone . " Since you're better , go home and rest . Don't wander around too much . If it gets worse , don't come crying to me . " He put it as if she was the type to cry to him . Dawn smiled and met his gaze . " Don't worry , Uncle Austin . That will never happen again ." The resolute look in her eyes sent a fleeting sting through Austin's heart . He quickly averted his gaze . " Take a taxi home . I still need to stay with Sydney for her treatment . " Dawn glanced at him but didn't respond . Instead , she took Alice's hand . " Alice , I'm leaving now . Let's meet up when you're free ." Alice caught her meaning immediately and her lips curled into a meaningful smile . She reached out , playfully pinching Dawn's cheek . " Of course . Bring him next time . " She was talking about Ethan , but Austin had misunderstood it . Once Dawn was gone , his expression turned serious . Looking at Alice , he said , " Ms. Alice , Dawn is only my niece . Please don't play matchmaker where it's not needed . " Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
