I instinctively turned to see what had happened, but Atlas held my head and redirected my gaze. He then instructed, "Dylan, head to the hospital." I quickly reassured, "I'm fine." "No, you're not. The injury is at the collarbone, so we must get it checked. Otherwise, I won't have peace of mind," Atlas said, looking atwith concern, "Does it still hurt?" I felt a little guilty but shook my head and asked, "Wh-what did you do to her?" "Kill one to warn and deter others," Atlas answered firmly.

I never expected the warm and amiable Atlas to be so heartless. I knew he was just overly worried about my safety. I also realized he wanted to intimidate those who harbored ill intentions toward me.

After the examination, the doctor explained, "Fortunately, they missed the collarbone. These are just superficial wounds. I'll prescribe an ointment for Mr. Atlas to help you apply. It'll help alleviate the pain, reduce swelling, and promote healing." It was already late when we got home. Neither of us had eaten, and the kitchen was preparing our dinner. Still, Atlas remained solemn. After the meal, we went upstairs, and he insisted on helpingshower. I knew he wanted to examine my injuries.

"It's okay. I can manage myself. It doesn't hurt much now," I said, trying to soothe Atlas's worries.

"Aren't you sore?" He said sternly. I had never seen him so cold before.

"But "I began to protest.

"No buts!" he interrupted and carriedto the bathroom. He then carefully removed my clothes and saw my shoulder. His expression worsened, and I couldn't help but glance at the mirror. I was shocked when I saw a discolored bruise on my shoulder.

Atlas frowned as he adjusted the water temperature and guidedunder the shower. He gently washed me, afraid of causingany more pain. Afterward, he delicately driedand kissed my shoulders, causing a tingling sensation to spread throughout my body.

As I blushed, he lowered his head and kissed me. I hugged him, knowing his heart must be aching from seeinghurt. He said, "Next time, don't stay alone at the office so late." "Okay." I nodded.

Atlas wrappedin the bath towel and then carriedto the bed. "Wait here. I'll be right back." I nodded again. "Okay." He went to wash up and cout before putting on his hclothes and grabbing the ointment. "Here, lethelp you." I almost fell asleep when he liftedand carefully applied the ointment to my shoulder. It felt cool and soothing. When the pain diminished, I hummed softly.

"I never expected that maniac to be so bold. It seems Madison was waiting forin the basement for quite stime. How'd you know I was in there?" I finally remembered to ask him that.

"I went downstairs to wait for you after calling your phone. Your location showed you were constantly moving around the building. When you didn't answmy second call, I knew something was wrong. I rushed over, but your office was closed." I shivered, saying, "Thank goodness I lingered upstairs for a bit, or I would've been in even bigger trouble."

Just then, Atlas's phone rang. He checked it and frowned before m answering Yeah?" I noticed his expression growing severe as he said, "Okay, got it."

After hanging up, he gently kissed my lips, and I hugged him. I knew from his expression that something important had happened. Atlas said, "Go to bed. I have to leave for a bit." "Where are you going?" I looked at him.

He sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at me, saying, "Company business." I looked into his eyes. "You're lying, Atlas."

He continued to gaze atwith his mesmerizing smile. "My men have caught the little Tackey who's watching Rory." I sat upright when I heard that. "Then, I'm coming with you!" X
