She hurried to pull Rowan’s hospital gown back down and retrieved the wheelchair from the doctor.
She wheeled him back for proper bandaging.
As she passed by Ashton, she cast him a chilly glance.
“As a government official, you slander against your superior. We won’t let you go unpunished.”
Ashton flushed and said anxiously, “I am not propagating a baseless rumor. If you want to blame
anyone, blame that photo. It is your own lack of decency that should be faulted. You can’t blame us.”
Loraine gnawed on her lower lip, vexed at her inability to trace the source of the incriminating photo.
She was thinking how to counter the damaging accusation when a frigid voice cut through the air from

“Marco, why are you in the hospital? Are you hurt?”
Marco hesitated for a moment, glancing at Loraine and Rowan for a sign of whether he should reveal
the reason for his injuries.
Rowan took the hint and spoke up on behalf of Marco.
“Marco sustained injuries during a mission for the Cheetah Command.
Thanks to him, I was rescued from a dangerous situation.”
Klein and the others were taken aback. When did Marco start working closely with Rowan? To add to
that, they were on a mission together.
Everyone then looked at Loraine.
After all, both men were rumored to be interested in her.
Rowan coughed to regain their attention.
