Chapter21 The Lip Print on the Collar 

The surgery lasted for nearly eight hours, and it wasn’t until after 10 p.m. that it finally concluded. 

Helene stood at the door of the operating room the entire time without eating or drinking. Her legs had gone numb from prolonged standing. 

Finally, the doors of the operating room opened. 

Niall emerged with his face filled with exhaustion. He removed his mask and assured Helene that everything went smoothly. 

Upon hearing the result, Helene finally found her heart at 

ease. 

Simultaneously, her feet grew weak, her vision darkened, and her body swayed. She nearly stumbled but was caught just in time by Niall. 

“Are you okay?” Niall asked anxiously, his eyes filled with deep 

concern. 

“I’m fine. I’m just a bit dizzy.” Helene attempted to push Niall away, but lacking strength, she could only lean into his embrace

Dizziness overcame Helene, and she dared not move, fearing 

that she would vomit if she did. 

Observing her condition, Niall quickly unbuttoned Helene’s collar to relieve her.

In the empty hallway, they stood intertwined. Niall gazed tenderly at Helene. 

However, the scene happened to be witnessed by Carlisle, who stood on the staircase. 

He had learned from his grandfather about Mrs. Lopez’s surgery today and hesitated before deciding to look. Nevertheless, he didn’t expect to stumble upon such an ambiguous scene. 

Carlisle clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white. 

But in the end, he remained silent. 

He turned around and left. 

He walked so fast that it seemed like he was about to take flight. Accidentally, he bumped into a woman in a white coat coming from the opposite direction. 

“Don’t you watch where you’re going…” Delilah was about to get angry, but upon seeing Carlisle’s incredibly handsome face, she couldn’t help but feel intimidated by his expression. 

“You are… Carli?” Delilah had seen Carlisle’s photo before 

because Matilda had shown it to her. 

At that time, she thought the photo was just a refined version of Carlisle. Otherwise, how could he be even more handsome than most celebrities? However, now seeing him in person, she believed he looked even better than in the picture. 

“I don’t know you.” Carlisle disliked being accosted. 

“Huh? Wait a minute, aren’t you Mr. Bamford’s grandson?”

Delilah halted Carlisle. “I’m Matilda’s niece, Delilah Wilson, a doctor at this hospital. My aunt told me your grandfather is sick, so I visited him. It turns out you weren’t there.” 

After a moment of reflection, Carlisle vaguely recalled Matilda mentioning having a niece who was a medical doctor in the hospital. 

Carlisle’s cold reaction made Delilah feel somewhat 

embarrassed. 

She believed that she was not inferior to anyone in terms of appearance and education. There was no reason for a mere programmer to not even look at her properly. 

“My aunt said you were looking for a spouse?” Delilah’s tone carried a hint of disdain. At twenty-eight years old, Carlisle still didn’t have a girlfriend. Something must be wrong with him. 

“I’m sorry, but I’m already married,” Carlisle replied indifferently. 

“What? So soon?” Delilah felt a little awkward. 

Just a week ago, her aunt had shown her Carlisle’s picture. However, at that time, she was utterly focused on Niall and hadn’t even considered anyone else. 

How could Carlisle get married so quickly? 

Just as Delilah had been looking down on him, hearing that he was married made her feel jealous. 

“Is that girl better than me?” Delilah felt somewhat unconvinced.

“Achoo!” 

The strong scent of perfume on Delilah made Carlisle uncomfortable.

“Sorry, I have something to attend to. I have to leave,” Carlisle sneezed, wondering why a doctor would wear perfume instead of disinfectant. Besides, he was allergic to perfume. 

As Carlisle walked away with repulsion, Delilah’s face turned green with anger. 

Meanwhile, Niall helped Helene into the resting room and poured her a cup of warm sugared water. 

After resting for a while, Helene felt slightly better. 

Niall informed her that Mrs. Lopez would be assigned a caregiver after the surgery, so tonight, Helene could go home and rest. 

Helene realized she hadn’t been home in a week and hadn’t showered. Thus, she agreed to let Niall take her home. 

Upon arriving home, Helene cooked herself a bowl of spaghetti and then showered. 

By the time she emerged from the bathroom, it was almost 1 

a.m. 

At that moment, Carlisle returned. 

He saw Helene, still looking beautiful after her bath, and was momentarily stunned. For a while, he was unable to regain his 

senses

“Why are you back?” Carlisle asked.

“My grandmother has a caregiver starting tonight, so I’m not needed anymore.” 

“Then you…” 

“Tonight, you…” 

Both of them spoke at the same time. 

“You go ahead,” Carlisle said, taking off his tie and throwing it on the sofa. 

Helene glanced at Carlisle and noticed a red mark on his collar, resembling the color of lipstick. 

Her pupils involuntarily contracted. 

At that moment, Helene didn’t realize that when facing Carlisle, she had unconsciously placed herself as his wife. 

Just like most wives, upon discovering a hint of infidelity, she couldn’t help but feel jealous. 

The only difference was that Helene couldn’t ask Carlisle for an explanation. Instead, she could only swallow her anger. 

“Are you sleeping in the study tonight?” Helene’s voice was 

cold. 

Carlisle paused while undressing, understanding that Helene wanted him to leave. 

“I’ll go there after I take a shower.” Carlisle’s voice was filled with forbearance. 

Then, with no expression, he continued removing his clothes.

One by one, he threw them onto the couch.

Helene hadn’t expected Carlisle to undress in front of her. She quickly turned around and dared not look at him. 

Carlisle removed his clothing until he was left in his underwear, preparing to enter the bathroom. 

Helene stood by the bathroom door with her back turned to Carlisle. Carlisle approached her from behind and softly whispered in her ear, “Are you standing here to join me in another shower?” 

His warm breath gently tickled her ear, causing a delightful sensation. Helene’s heart raced like a drum, and she quickly moved away. 

Carlisle entered the bathroom. 

As the sound of running water filled the air, Helene walked over to the couch, took out the shirt, and scrutinized a red mark repeatedly until she confirmed it was lipstick. 

The shade of lipstick reflected the preference of young girls. 

Did Carlisle have another woman in his life? 

Helene trembled as she held the shirt in her hand. She hadn’t experienced this feeling when she discovered condoms in Diego’s room. 

All she had in mind back then was anger, but now there was fluster and uneasiness instead. 

Was it a difference before getting married and afterward? 

Helene’s mind was in chaos. She couldn’t think straight,

finding it hard to believe that Carlisle was so casual. But if not, how could she explain the existence of the lipstick mark? 

Sitting amidst Carlisle’s pile of clothes, Helene decided to wait for him to come out and seek an explanation. 

After quickly finishing his wash, Carlisle emerged from the bathroom. 

Hearing the door open, Helene turned around and saw Carlisle wrapped in a small towel that barely covered his private parts. 

“You’re using my towel.” Helene gritted her teeth. 

Helene felt even more embarrassed. 

Yet, her eyes couldn’t resist scanning Carlisle’s muscular body from top to bottom. 

His physique was truly awe-inspiring! 

Suddenly, a phrase flashed in Helene’s mind: “Before I met you, I was a decent person. After meeting you, I always wanted to become a rogue.” 

“What do you think of my physique compared to that doctor?” Carlisle suddenly asked. 

Helene was taken aback and quickly blushed, turning away. 

“I haven’t seen his. He’s not an exhibitionist like you.” 

Carlisle released a cold snort, walked up to the couch, and picked up the shirt. It was then that he noticed the lipstick mark on the collar.
