When Dirk Carter opened his eyes again, he was already lying in a ward in the county hospital.

A face with a mask leaned over.

Blinking her eyes, staring at him.

These were very familiar eyes, and Dirk couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Su...Su?"

"Don't talk yet, let me check."

The doctor in front of him was indeed Rosalind Sullivan.

She took a flashlight, opened Dirk's eyes and shone it in, then used a stethoscope to listen to his heart, saying, "Basically no problems, still just as vigorous as ever, you guy, your luck is really impressive."

Dirk strained to sit up.

Rosalind hastened to help him.

"Although you're fine, you still need to rest well."

"Dr. Su, let me ask you, how is Deputy County Chief Wang, who was crushed beneath with me?"

Dirk asked eagerly.

Rosalind said, "He's fine, just fainted from lack of oxygen. Fortunately, it wasn't long. Like you, some rest and he'll be okay."

Hearing this news.

Dirk's tense heart finally settled down.

Just at this moment.

The door of the ward was pushed open.

Arlo Yarbrough walked in.

Seeing Dirk already lying there.

He paused for a moment and said, "You're awake?"

"What? From the look on your face, it seems like you didn't expect me to wake up?"

Dirk asked.

Arlo chuckled and said, "I'm saying it for your own good. I think it's better if you just lie back down."

"Why?"

Dirk asked.

Arlo pointed toward the door.

"How many romantic debts have you incurred, kid? Outside the door is a bunch of women, each more stunning than the last, each with their unique charm. I just don't see where your charm comes from?"

"Women?"

Dirk was momentarily stunned.

Rosalind said, "It was thanks to your group of lady friends this time, otherwise, you might really have been a goner..."

After saying this.

She and Arlo explained the rescue situation one after the other.

When Dirk heard that so many women were waiting outside, he was so scared he covered his head with a blanket and shouted, "Oh my god, so many at once. How am I supposed to handle this, might as well just let me die."

Suddenly, Arlo leaned over and said, "I have an idea."

Dirk was overjoyed.

He uncovered the blanket and asked, "What idea? Quickly, tell me!"

"Just tell them you've started to like men instead of women. I can do you a favor and play along, but I'll charge you for it, how about that?"

Arlo said in a serious tone.

Rosalind nearby burst into laughter.

Arlo scratched his head and said, "Oops, I forgot, there's another one here."

"Nonsense, I'm not in on this."

Rosalind playfully punched him.

Dirk threw a pillow at Arlo.

Angrily, he said, "You scoundrel, coming up with bad ideas. Once I'm better, I'll definitely deal with you."

"Fine, since someone's got to die, better you first!"

Arlo gritted his teeth, opened the ward door in front of Dirk, and shouted to the outside: "Dirk's awake, you can come in to see him."

Oh heavens, oh earth, how did I end up with such a brother?

At this moment, Dirk even wanted to kill him.

Anger aside.

You still have to put on a smile.

After all, four women rushed in at once.

Maeve Winters, Delilah Goodman, along with the sisters Ewan and Rose Forrest.

During the rescue, there were two other teams, one led by Dahlia Hughes, being a high official, of course, she couldn't express her worry like the other girls, so she left with her team right after the rescue ended.

The other team was led by some who hadn't had any relations with Dirk, led by Cobalt Green, and they returned to the station to report.

But there were still four women in front of him.

No, it should be four and a half.

Rosalind Sullivan at least counts as half.

"Are you alright?"

The first to rush forward was Delilah Goodman; seeing her frowning with red eyes, it was genuine concern.

Dirk hammered his chest and said, "I'm fine, I can be discharged right now."

Delilah let out a long sigh and said, "As long as you're okay, as long as you're okay..."

"Well... if you're alright, my sister and I will head back first."

Ewan saw this wasn't a place to linger, so proposed leaving.

Rose pouted and said, "Sister, didn't Brother Cheng tell us to stay and protect him?"

"Seeing him like this, I don't think he needs our protection, let's leave first."

"But..."

Rose still wanted to argue a bit.

But Ewan forcibly dragged her out.

"Well... you chat, I'll go check on the other patients."

Rosalind also found an excuse to leave, and as she left, she took Arlo out with her.

Now, only three people were left in the room.

Maeve Winters, Delilah Goodman, and Dirk Carter.

When the ward door closed, Maeve teased, "You sure have it all, causing trouble yourself but managing to make a bunch of women anxious, you have no idea, my cousin cried non-stop after reaching the scene. What spell did you cast on her?"

"Maeve, what are you saying?"

Delilah chided slightly, tapping Maeve.

Maeve retorted stubbornly, "I'm not making it up, whether it's true or not, you must know!"

Watching these cousins go back and forth, at that moment, a warmth rose in Dirk's heart.

He pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."

"Stop! I don't want any emotional crap or your thanks."

Maeve said nonchalantly.

Dirk was puzzled and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Maeve thought for a moment and said, "I'm straightforward, I like climax, wait until you're better and give me several climaxes, as for my cousin, she likes ambiance, accompany her then."

"Maeve, disgusting, what are you saying?"

Delilah's face immediately turned red.

Maeve suddenly realized, "My cousin wants a climax too, if you can handle it, we can both accompany you..."

This Maeve, with an innocent-looking face, spews out unfiltered words, perhaps this is where her charm lies.

Delilah interrupted her.

Solemnly, she said, "Enough, let's not talk about this, discuss something proper. Deputy Minister Hughes left a message for you before departing."

"Go on."

"This incident, even if you don't know, you should have guessed most of it. Ultimately, the ones who saved you were your friends, not the County Committee. Don't you understand the implications?"

Delilah said.

Dirk was puzzled and asked, "You mean..."

Delilah nodded, saying, "It was Bjorn Dixon who ordered not to rescue you. I can't understand, even if you had grievances, it wouldn't be to the point of taking your life, right?"

Dirk pondered for a moment, saying, "Before the landslide, Deputy County Chief Wang and I called him, urging him to take action immediately. He didn't listen. Only Wang Yi and I know this, he did this to bury the matter."

"For prospects, that makes sense; Bjorn Dixon is quite a ruthless figure indeed!"

Delilah commented with a sigh.

Having learned the truth, Dirk's gaze turned somber.

He said, "Looks like I need to settle all scores with him.

Five days later.

The main hall of Kenton County.

Colorful flags flapping at the door, the hall festooned with decorations, a lively scene.

A banner above the stage reads "Rearpond Village Risk and Disaster Relief Commendation Conference."

This commendation meeting is hosted by the County Committee and the County Government of Kenton County, co-organized by the Kenton County Propaganda Department, making it quite a grand affair.

Aside from various county leaders in attendance, the Ardmore City Party Secretary Conway Sawyer and the Propaganda Minister Brogan Grant also attended this meeting.
