Chapter 871

Evelyn Ross had assumed Alexander Vance was under strict guard, unable to move.

She never expected the scene that greeted her on the third floor to be so… amorous?

The entire floor bore no resemblance to a hospital ward.

There wasn't a trace of disinfectant smell in the corridor.

Instead, it was exceptionally clean and bright.

A few potted plants and flowers were even placed on either side.

It felt like stepping into a meticulously maintained mansion.

Evelyn frowned slightly, glancing sideways at the nurse beside her.

The nurse returned a sympathetic look, lowering her voice.

"Um… try not to get too upset later, okay?"

Evelyn: ?

Puzzled, she pushed open the door to the hospital room.

Her eyes immediately landed on Alexander Vance.

He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown.

He sat propped against the headboard.

A bandage was wrapped around his temple, likely from hitting a reef when he fell into the water.

Standing before the bed was a woman dressed in lavish clothes with exquisite makeup.

The woman's appearance was rather plain.

But the look she directed at Alexander was blazingly intense.

She eagerly offered a peeled apple, her voice sickly sweet.

"Sterling Yan, try this. It's very sweet."

Alexander's brow was tightly furrowed.

He took the apple.

But his gaze turned indifferently toward Evelyn at the door.

This guy's acting skills were truly impressive.

Pretending to have amnesia so convincingly.

Evelyn knew the test wasn't over yet.

The nurse beside her was still watching her every move like a hawk.

If she and Alexander showed even the slightest hint of coordination, armed soldiers would likely burst through the door the next second.

They would capture them both and expel them from the island.

Evelyn blinked, feigning confusion as she looked at the nurse.

"This… what's going on?"

The nurse cleared her throat softly, explaining in a hushed tone.

"Actually, it's nothing much. Miss Sterling just fell in love with Sterling Yan at first sight."

Evelyn: ?

She looked incredulously at the Miss Sterling who was currently fawning over Alexander.

This person fell in love with Alexander at first sight?

And then?

While she was still pondering, Alexander looked up at Miss Sterling, his voice deep.

"Are you sure I'm your fiancé?"

Evelyn: ??

She looked at Miss Sterling again.

The other woman was beaming, nodding repeatedly.

"Of course! You are my fiancé. I am your fiancée! We were on a boat trip on the lake together when you accidentally fell into the water. That's why you lost your memory!"

Evelyn: !!!

She silently turned to Alexander.

He was gazing at Miss Sterling, as if weighing the truth of her words.

But Evelyn knew him too well.

She managed to detect a trace of almost imperceptible helplessness on his impassive face.

At this moment, Evelyn almost laughed out loud.

Alexander pretended to have amnesia to avoid questioning from the nurses and soldiers.

It was to prevent contradicting her story.

This method was indeed clever.

But he probably never dreamed he would catch the eye of a wealthy young lady.

And that she would have the audacity to falsely claim to be his fiancée.

Now that Alexander was "suffering from amnesia," even with a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain.

Alexander looked at her.

His eyes clearly pleaded for help.

Evelyn understood.

Deep down, she really wanted to keep watching the show.

But she knew this was no time for jokes.

They were now partners who must face adversity together.

She immediately put on an expression of deep affection and hurt.

Her voice trembled as she questioned.

"You are his fiancée? Then what am I?"

Evelyn clenched her fists.

Her gaze burned as she stared at Miss Sterling.

Miss Sterling's name was Sienna Sterling.

Hearing this, she immediately turned to Evelyn.

Alexander timely showed a hesitant expression.

He asked, "And who is this lady?"

Evelyn immediately spoke up.

"I am your…"

Before she could finish, Sienna rushed forward.

She abruptly covered Evelyn's mouth.

Dragging and pulling, she hauled Evelyn out of the hospital room.

The nurse watching from the side was dumbfounded.

Alexander was also taken aback, his frown deepening.

Outside the hospital room.

Evelyn was also a bit dazed, staring fixedly at Sienna.

Sienna clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture.

"Miss Bei Ge, I've heard about your love story with Sterling Yan. It's truly touching… But I like him so much. Could you give him to me?"

Evelyn: ??

Evelyn stared at her blankly, momentarily unsure how to react.

Sienna cleared her throat softly.

She extended three fingers.

"The price is negotiable. Three hundred thousand Sterling Dollars, how about that?"

The isolated island where the Sterling Family resided used its own currency, the Sterling Dollar.

Evelyn and Alexander had arrived on the island penniless.

When they came ashore, they had even joked about needing to find a way to earn some living expenses.

Who would have thought a business opportunity would be delivered so… refreshingly?
