2025-02-24 17:57:09“Where am I?”
Javier's voice was hoarse as he asked.
“You're in my mansion.”
Valeria, sitting beside him with an expression of restrained amusement, arched a delicate brow before responding.
“I found you bleeding in an alley like some tragic novel protagonist, and because I have a soft heart, I decided to save you.”
Javier's fingers instinctively reached for the back of his head, his touch finding nothing but smooth skin.
“I remember being struck,” he murmured, confusion flickering in his usually composed eyes.
But he did not find any bloodied wounds on his head.
“You were,” Valeria confirmed to him.
"I took you to the hospital, but they said you were fine and there were no serious injuries. So I brought you here to take care of you until you wake up."
Javier glanced at her, noting the way her amusement failed to completely mask the curiosity in her gaze.
“Then I owe you my thanks.”
“You do.”
Valeria agreed, tapping a manicured finger against her chin.
“But I’ll settle for you explaining why you were in such a pitiful situation. It’s not every day I pick up a half-dead man with no injuries.”
"It's just an injury from a misunderstood argument. Nothing serious."
Javier explained.
He felt strange as Valeria continued to stare at him as if observing.
"Once again, I thank you for helping me."
Valeria was silent.
She didn't respond to Javier's words.
Instead, Valeria was disappointed that Javier didn't seem to recognize her as his fiancée.
They hadn't seen each other in years, but Valeria recognized Javier with just one look.
But Valeria tried to suppress her sadness.
She thought that Javier's attitude was because he had just escaped from a life-threatening danger.
So Valeria planned not to reveal her identity to Javier.
"What are you doing?"
Valeria got out of bed when she saw Javier doing the same.
"I'm already fine. I need to go now."
Valeria gets panicked.
"No! You still need to rest completely. Stay here until your condition stabilizes."
When Valeria wanted to grab Javier's hand, who was walking out, Valeria suddenly twisted in pain, her hands clutching her chest.
Valeria fainted instantly.
“Miss!”
Javier turned around at the sound of a loud crash and was shocked to see Valeria collapsed on the marble floor.
One of the waiters there screamed frantically for help.
The door burst open, and a man in a doctor's coat strode in, his expression tight with urgency.
“Take these, Miss,” he instructed, shoving pills and a glass of water into her hands.
Valeria swallowed the medicine with practiced ease, her face pale, her breathing labored.
Javier swiftly laid Valeria down on the bed as Valeria.
He studied her, the sight of her suffering triggering something unfamiliar inside him.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Javier observed Valeria, whose face was pale, obviously due to having suffered from a long-term illness.
Valeria nodded weakly.
"Yes. This happens often."
Javier was confused.
“It’s an incurable angina.”
Valeria explained once she caught her breath.
“Even the best doctors don’t know why it happens. All they can do is tell me to keep taking painkillers.”
Javier's mind, however, was flooded with something else—knowledge that did not belong to modern medicine.
Techniques, symbols, and formulas appeared in his thoughts, alchemy whispering a solution.
“I can cure you,” Javier said calmly.
The doctor scoffed before Valeria could respond.
“You?” he sneered. “A failed veterinarian from a bankrupt pet hospital?”
Valeria frowned. “You investigated him?”
“I did it for your safety, Miss Solano,” the doctor replied.
“And I found nothing impressive. This man is no medical expert; he’s a fraud looking to get close to you, Miss Solano!”
“I never said I was using traditional medicine.”
Javier countered, his voice steady.
“Oh, let me guess,” the doctor smirked. “Magic? Alchemy? Spiritual healing? Should I prepare the incense and summon the ancestors?”
Valeria, ignoring the doctor’s condescension, leaned forward with interest.
“And what exactly is your method?”
Javier met her gaze.
“Something ancient. Something that will work.”
Valeria studied him for a long moment before smirking.
“Fine. If you can cure me, you’ll be well rewarded.”
“Miss Solano,” the doctor protested, looking scandalized.
“Step aside,” Valeria ordered smoothly. “I want to see what he can do.”
Javier remained composed despite the scrutiny, nodding.
“Then lie down.”
Valeria did as she was told.
She knew Javier, and he wasn't a con artist or someone who would do anything underhanded to gain an advantage.
So, she chose to try to trust him.
“Take off your dress,” Javier instructed, rolling up his sleeves.

Valeria was slightly surprised.But she tried to stay calm and assumed there must be a reason for Javier's method of opening her dress."Are you out of your mind?!"The doctor standing beside the bed nearly dropped his instruments after hearing Javier’s request.“Ms. Solano, we must expel him at once! He's too rude. Why is he asking to take off your dress?”"I have no bad intentions. Just helping with the methods I know."Javier defended himself.“Your methods are absurd. It was a big insult!”He pointed at Javier's face, his eyes burning with anger."Calm down, doctor." Valeria raised an eyebrow, gazing at him with a faint smile. "I trust him.""What?!" The doctor almost choked on his own breath.

"Miss, it seems he's badly hurt," Valeria's driver said after lifting Javier's body and placing him in the passenger seat, where Valeria used her thigh as a pillow for Javier's head."Be careful with him," Valeria murmured.Her gaze fixated on the blood-staining Javier's temple as her fingers unconsciously brushed over his pale face."Who could have done this to him?""It looks like someone hurt him," the driver replied, closing the car door and starting the engine. "Should we take him to the hospital, Miss?""No, not yet," Valeria said, her eyes narrowing as she examined his bruised knuckles and torn shirt. "Something about him feels familiar."Her fingers traced the curve of his wrist, stopping when she noticed a silver bracelet wrapped tightly around it.A bracelet that was eerily similar to the one she had worn since childhood.As soon as her fingers made contact, a sudden warmth spread from her own bracelet, a sensation so intense it made her breath catch."Miss, are you alright?
