he wouldn’t forgive him.No way unless he apologized.Every time after he called her names, things would just go back to normal. How could she let it happen so easilyShe knew Ye Feiyi had a bias against...Proxy Ex-Wife of the CEO Vol. 2 Heartstrings Tugged 595

Tuo Di felt self-reproach, yet she was warm and grateful. If not for Tuo Di rescuing her, who knows how long she would have remained there. Warmth nodded with tears in her eyes, "Thank you!"

"Foolish girl, no need to thank me. It feels alienating; it's what I should do." Tuo Di said. She was originally his fiancée, born for him to protect and love.

She closed her eyes, suppressing the sense of loss and relief in her heart. It was Tuo Di, not the person she had hoped for. There was a sense of loss as well as relief. Fei Mo's health isn't good now; he shouldn’t be able to fly such long hours to America.

She must have overthought it.

Perhaps her longing had been too deep, causing an illusion.

Warmth suddenly remembered something, "Is everything alright with the hospital I was admitted to Could there be... any trouble"

"What trouble There's nothing to worry about. I have a formal release order; they won't bother you anymore. You are safe and free. Don’t worry." Tuo Di knew she had misunderstood, hurriedly reassuring her.

If he were to save her through illegal means, then Warm would become a wanted criminal and wouldn't be able to live in the United States. He was unwilling for that to happen, not to mention his relationship with the authorities; by paying a certain price, he could ensure that Warm could live under the sun legally without needing to take risks or have her lose her original way of life.

Warm felt confused as some disordered fragments flashed through her mind. She suddenly remembered a refined baritone voice—the little cousin-in-law... That was Little White's voice! A corner of Warm’s mouth lifted in realization that the person who had been there was indeed Little White, and now it was Du Di. Was it because Little White thought Du Di could legally save her that he left

So that's how it is.

Little White really is bold to come to such a place.

"Warm, don't think about anything right now. Why don't you sleep and we'll talk when you wake up" Du Di comforted her, and Warm nodded in agreement.

When she woke up again, her spirits were much better than before. A nurse took her temperature and found that she had a slight fever but it wasn’t too serious. She sat up, feeling the bandages around her neck which made her extremely uncomfortable and unable to move too much for fear of pulling at the wound.

Her wrists were also wrapped in multiple layers of bandages, though the injury there was not as severe as that on her neck.

Due to her neck injury, her voice sounded somewhat hoarse.

I've just eaten something. Dudi came in to ask about her health and said an FBI agent wanted to talk to her. When Warmth heard the word "FBI," she trembled with fear; those few hours were a nightmare for her.

Dudi said, "Don't be afraid. It's just some routine questions that won’t harm you."

Warmth didn't want to trouble Dudi and nodded in agreement. Dudi let the two white male agents enter; they asked Warmth about what happened in the basement, who fired at the FBI agent, what occurred before they arrived, and what she had seen.

Warmth knew nothing and said that she was unconscious and saw or heard nothing because when Dudi and his team entered, she was already knocked out on a chair. They had also seen her injuries; even without seeing them personally, the injury reports were convincing enough to make Warmth's words highly credible. The agents didn't want to press her further but told her to contact them if she remembered anything. Then Dudi saw them off.

Warmth suppressed her fear inside. She wouldn’t betray Wu Shuang or Xiao Bai.

"Dudi, I really thank you this time for troubling you again," Warmth said, thanking him once more. She felt very guilty because she had always been a burden to Dudi. Initially, when she agreed to leave with him, she didn’t keep her promise. Later in America, even though Dudi wanted to help, she refused his assistance since her family had arranged everything for her. She tried hard to maintain distance from him but knew that he was good to her despite not being able to repay him; hence, she didn't want to waste his time or accept his kindness.

She owed him too much. She only agreed to attend the fashion show as a favor, and now, with her injuries, she wouldn’t be able to keep her promise and attend it. This made Warmth feel defeated.

The things she promised Dudi always couldn't be fulfilled due to external factors. Yet, Dudi risked so much for her. She felt deeply remorseful. Warmth wasn't foolish; people of Xiao Bai's status, whether as a member of the mafia or an artist, knew many influential individuals within and outside the government. However, even with his connections, Xiao Bai couldn’t save her in any other way except through this risky method. Dudi, on the other hand, managed to help her leave legally without any blemish. Warmth was sure that Dudi had made some kind of deal with the government because he was a well-known arms supplier who always maintained close relations with the government and operated under mutual benefit. This time, however, it must have been difficult for him due to her situation. Just thinking about this made Warmth unsure how she could ever repay him.

She owed Duo Di more and more, to the point where she couldn't even count it.

She really couldn't repay him.

"Warmsun, I just spoke. It's no trouble at all, just a small favor. Don't overthink this. Focus on recovering from your injuries. Leave the rest to me, okay No one will know about this," Duo Di said. "I'll take care of everything for you."

Warmsun nodded with tears in her eyes. It was hard not to be moved when a man showed such tenderness towards her. Knowing how she felt and still showing consideration like this, she didn't know what words could express her gratitude.

"If you feel sorry, then focus on healing your injuries. That's the best way to repay me," Duo Di said with a smile as he ruffled her hair and held her hand affectionately. "Sometimes, being kind to someone is just about fate. One person gives, another receives—it's natural. You don't need to worry too much about it. As long as you accept my kindness and help, I'm already very satisfied. This is all I ask for; I don't need anything in return. Do you understand"

"But..."

"No buts!" Duo Di said firmly, looking at Warmsun intently. "I just want to be good to you. So please don't refuse me, okay"

Warmsun was speechless. With him speaking like this, she didn't know what else to say.e Feimo ask this question, Warmth didn't know how to answer him. Just as she hesitated, Cheng Anya came in through the door. Seeing that he was awake, Cheng Anya was very happy. Warmth withdrew her ha...
