Chapter 1228:
Worried, the agent asked, “Should she see a psychologist p>
“Let’s see how she is once she wakes up,” Dunn replied, drawing a slow breath. His voice sounded hoarse as he added, “This is all my fault. If I hadn’t taken her out… ”
The agent looked at him gently, sensing the weight behind his words. In a softer tone, she tried to comfort him. “Dr. Hopkins, no one can predict accidents—or what they’ll lead to p>
Dunn’s lips trembled slightly, but he stayed silent.
Just then, Margo let out a faint moan and slowly opened her eyes.
Instinctively, she scanned her surroundings with wary alertness. Only when she recognized the familiar room did her breathing ease.
“Margo, you’re awake,” Dunn said gently, crouching beside the bed. “Do you still feel unwell p>
Margo stared at him, still a little dazed. “You… why are you here p>
Margo blinked, as if confirming she was truly in her own bedroom. Her eyes remained fixed on Dunn, wide with disbelief.
“You had a terrible nightmare and then you developed a fever. Dr. Hopkins came to treat you,” the agent explained.
At the word “nightmare,” Margo flinched instinctively, curling inward.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s all under control now,” Dunn said quickly, sensing her fear.
His voice was calm and steady—gentle enough to soothe, yet carrying a quiet warmth that made it easier to breathe.
Margo struggled to sit up and noticed her agent ending call after call while many others still waited. Feeling guilty, she said, “Dorsey, I’m really sorry. This is all my fault. You shouldn’t have to stay here with me. You must have so much work to handle, and I’m fine now. Please don’t let me delay you p>
“It’s fine. I already requested leave from the company,” the agent replied with an unwavering smile, even as her phone kept ringing.

Just as she was about to hang up again, Margo hurriedly stopped her. “Really, I insist. I’m fine now. Go take care of work—don’t let me hold you back. Besides, Dunn is here with me. He’s a doctor p>
It was obvious Margo and Dunn shared a comfortable rapport, but Dorsey didn’t comment on it. She said a few more words to Margo, then turned and left.
Dunn checked the thermometer and confirmed Margo’s fever had completely subsided. He rolled up his sleeves and said, “Let me make you something nourishing. You need to restore your strength with a proper meal p>
“There’s no need to trouble yourself,” Margo said, embarrassed, trying to refuse.
“You’re my patient, and it’s my responsibility to take care of you. Even if I weren’t a doctor…” Dunn paused, meeting her eyes, then continued softly, “As your friend, it’s what I should do p>
“Thank you,” Margo said with a faint smile. Her gaze drifted slightly, as if she were retreating into her own thoughts, carefully hiding what she truly felt.
After a simple meal, Margo felt much better. She let out a quiet sigh of relief, yet her brows remained knitted.
Unbeknownst to her, Dunn had been watching closely. He could tell the anxiety hadn’t left her.
