The Man She Wouldn’t Touch Is Never Coming Back Chapter 04

Only after Silas’s surgery ended was Kian finally wheeled into the operating room.

When he woke, the wounds on his back burned like fire.

“Mr. Voss, I regret to inform you…” The doctor hesitated. “Due to the delay, the burns on your back will leave permanent scarring.”

“If you’re worried your wife might mind, there are reconstructive options…”

Kian twitched the corner of his mouth, the motion pulling at the wounds on his face. “No need. My wife never lets me touch her. She won’t care about scars.”

He paused, his eyes terrifyingly calm. “Besides, she won’t be my wife much longer.”

The door swung open.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Iris stood in the doorway, brow furrowed.

The doctor tactfully withdrew, closing the door softly behind him.

Kian shut his eyes, drained of the will to speak.

Iris’s gaze finally fell on his bandage-wrapped body, and her tone softened, rare for her. “That day… I thought you’d gotten out of the mall safely.”

Her lips moved. “I didn’t realize you were hurt this badly.”

“The moment I heard, I came straight to you.”

Kian opened his eyes and looked at her calmly. “It’s fine. I’m used to it.”

His voice carried no ripple at all. “You were never there the times I needed you most anyway.”

“This time is no different.”

Iris’s frown deepened. She was quiet for a moment, then pulled a black charge card from her handbag.”This is for you, as compensation.”

He did not take the card. He looked straight into her eyes.

“I want $50,000,000. Transfer it now.”
