Although Ken didn't have the heart to wake Sybil up, he did so when they arrived at the hospital.

"Sybil, wake up." Ken patted Sybil's back.

Sybil shivered at the feeling of someone touching her and screamed, "Get away!"

In total confusion, Sybil lashed out and kicked the man beside her with full strength.

"Sybil, chill out. It's me!" Ignoring the pain, Ken held Sybil in his arms.

After recognizing it was Ken, Sybil hugged him tightly as she began to sob again.

Ken wiped her tears with a loving hand.

"Don't worry. Diana is in the hospital. Let's go and see her."

Sybil nodded eagerly. She was anxious about Diana's condition and desperate to check she was okay.

Diana had been taken to the VIP ward at the top of the hospital, with few other patients and the best treatment possible.

As soon as Diana awoke from the operation, the pain in her head overwhelmed her. She gently patted her head but could only feel the thick gauze wrapped around it.

"O" Waves of pain started hitting Diana as the painkillers she had been given started to wear off.

"Are you awake?" Brian came close to Diana's bedside when he saw her eyes opening.

"Where is Sybil?" Diana asked. Her first concern after waking up was Sybil.

Just as Diana was waking up, Ken arrived with Sybil in the ward.

Sybil rushed to Diana's bed and said with great worry, "Diana, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Diana gave her a comforting smile. "How about you? What did they do to you?" Diana feared that Carl and his men might have hurt Sybil after she passed out.

Sybil was deeply touched. Diana got injured for her, and at this moment, she was still worried for her safety. "Diana, why did you block that guy's attack? What if he'd killed you?" Sybil held Diana tightly.

"It's all right. See, I'm good." Diana patted Sybil comfortingly on the back.

Brian and Ken stood just outside Diana's room. Ken looked at Sybil, and finally, he'd made up his mind. He turned to Brian, "Mr. William, I have looked deep inside my heart."

"For what?"

Ken took a deep breath, "I love Sybil. I couldn't live without her. I don't know why and when I fell in love with her, but it's true. I would give my own life to protect her from danger."

It was hard for Ken to speak so openly like that.

Brian understood and nodded his head. Actually, he had already read Ken's mind, it had been obvious for a long while. His dim-witted sister was probably the last one to realize.

A bitter smile appeared on Ken's face, as Brian remained silent.

"Mr. William, don't you agree?"

Brian was surprised, "Ken, how could I ever think badly of you? Of course, I have no objections."

The two men had grown up together. Brian couldn't be clearer about Ken's character; he was a man who could always be trusted.

Still, Brian's approval came as something of a shock to Ken. He had always regarded himself as a servant of the William family and knew Sybil was out of his league. Now it seemed he might have a chance to be with her.

"Thank you, Mr. William," Ken said sincerely.

"All right. It's time for Diana to take a rest. Could you take Sybil back home?"

"Sure thing, boss."

Ken entered the room and persuaded Sybil to come back tomorrow. Although Sybil was unwilling to leave, she knew Diana needed more rest.

"Diana, I'll come tomorrow, I promise."

"Okay, see you then." Diana gazed after Ken and Sybil.

After their leaving, Diana felt a little drowsy. She stretched her arms and legs out with a big yawn.

"Are you getting sleepy?" Brian tucked her into the quilt.

Diana's eyelids just couldn't help coming together. Knowing Brian was beside her, she was able to fall peacefully asleep.

The day's experience had really frightened Brian; hence he was also completely exhausted. After a while, the tiredness overwhelmed him, and he fell asleep beside Diana.

Both of them had a long, deep sleep, aided by the warmth of their close embrace.

Ken had planned to take Sybil back home, but she pleaded with him, "Ken, could I stay at your home tonight? I'm afraid to be alone."

"Sure." Ken smiled dotingly at Sybil. He always granted her whatever she requested. And this time, staying with her was what he wanted to do.

Sybil didn't want to leave Ken's side for even a second after the day's experience. She held his hand tightly.

When they got back to Ken's home, he first got Sybil settled down on the sofa. When he was about to go and prepare water for her to have a bath, she panicked and grabbed his hand. "Ken, where are you going?"

"To prepare water for…" Before Ken finished his words, he lost balance and fell down onto the sofa. Almost as if they were a pair of magnets, his lips came to meet Sybil's for a brief but powerful kiss, a moment of pure chemistry.

Looking at each other in consternation, they were both dumbstruck.

It was Ken who roused himself first. "I'm going to prepare the bathwater for you." With that, he fled to the bathroom.

Sybil was still sat in amazement. Her face was burning, and her heart was beating quicker than ever.

After preparing the bathwater, Ken shouted down awkwardly, "The water is ready."

On her way up to the bathroom, Sybil ran into Ken, heightening the awkward atmosphere between them. Ken made way for her, but looking at Sybil, all he could see were her lips, reminding him of the kiss they'd shared just before. They were both clearly embarrassed, and Sybil rushed to the bathroom.

When Sybil finished her shower, Ken had already fallen asleep on the sofa. Seeing him sleeping peacefully, Sybil made her way quietly to the bedroom. She went to sleep in Ken's bed with a myriad of thoughts rushing through her mind.
