Chapter 2024

Then, Ryan accompanied Freya to undergo body check-ups. When the results of her chest X-ray were
out, the doctor confirmed that she had a broken rib.

Freya did not expect Rodney’s kick to be so ruthless. He kicked her until she broke a rib on the spot.

No wonder she was in so much pain. She even had difficulty breathing.

“Doctor, with my condition… How long do I need to recover?” Freya could not conceal the worry in her
eyes. “I still have to raise a kid…” She had to breastfeed too.

“About one month. With your condition, you can’t even carry your child, not to mention take care of the
child. You have to be careful too. Don’t ever catch a cold. Once you catch a cold, you’ll get a chest
infection easily. ” After the doctor reminded her, he glanced at Ryan. “You’re her husband, right? Take
care of the child more often. You can only wean the baby as well.”

Ryan’s face heated up. A hint of awkwardness flashed across his face.

Freya quickly explained, “He’s not my husband. He’s my… younger brother…”

“Your brother?” The doctor gazed at both of them. Usually, doctors were busy people. They would not
have any leisure time to chat with patients.

However, the woman was beautiful, and the man was handsome. Doctors could not help but pay more
attention whenever they saw pleasant- looking people. “You two don’t look alike. You look like you’re
the same age too.”





There was no doubt that they did not look alike. Ryan was Freya’s godbrother.

“Doctor, please treat her wounds as soon as possible. She looks like she’s in a lot of pain.” Ryan urged
the doctor.

The doctor then told him to pay the bill.

Not long after, Catherine and Shaun rushed over. When Catherine saw Freya sitting on the bed stiffly

with her chest wrapped in gauze, she was exasperated. “What on earth happened?”

Catherine did not have a good rest after Rodney disturbed them last night. When she could finally rest
at dawn, she received Chester’s call telling her to rush over to a location to save Freya. She dragged
Shaun along. When they were halfway there, Ryan informed her that Freya had been sent to the
hospital.

Freya leaned on the pillow. Her body did not move at all. An IV tube was attached to the back of her
hand. Every part of her body hurt. “Rodney kicked me.”

“You were the one who kidnapped Sarah?” Shaun raised his eyebrows. His gaze was strange.

Catherine immediately rolled her eyes at him. “ You’re overestimating Freya. With her mere abilities, I
reckon she doesn’t even have the contact number of the kidnappers.”

Freya smiled sheepishly and sighed. She said to Ryan and Shaun, “Can you guys go out for a few
moments? I have something I want to discuss with Cathy privately.”

“Okay. I’ll go and buy some breakfast. What do you want to eat?” Ryan asked gently.
