Lucy was deeply in love with that man, and she could no longer imagine a life without him; she could not imagine what would happen to her if he was no longer in her life. Therefore, there was no way she was going to let anyone replace out he was here.

Right as she was contemplating what she should do to make the nurse not tell anyone that Shane was with her, she heard the nurse say, "But I don't think this man's that chairman, right? The chairman in the video said he was accompanying his wife overseas. How could he possibly be here then? Still, it's quite shocking to see someone having a face that looks identical to his."

Lucy's eyes lit up when she heard those words.

That's right. That man is accompanying his wife overseas.

That means that the man on the bed isn't the chairman.

The thought of that thrilled Lucy, but at the same time, she was disappointed.

If he's not a chairman, then he's just a normal guy.

No. How could I think of him like this?

Lucy shook her head to clear her mind.

This is the man I like. So what if he's just an average Joe?

What I love is him and not his money or identity. Why should I be so hung up about whether or not he's an average person?

Those were the guilty thoughts Lucy had as she continued smiling at the nurse. "There are so many people in the world. It's nothing strange about him looking like that man in the news." "You're right. I've seen two unrelated people looking very similar too," the nurse agreed.

When Lucy realized that she had managed to stop the nurse from further suspicion, she let out a quiet sigh. At the same time, she was starting to have thoughts of discharging him from the hospital. Even though he was not the chairman of Thompson Group, his clothes were of high quality. She reckoned that perhaps he was the brother of that chairman.

If her guesses were right, someone was bound to replace out about him if he continued to stay in the hospital.

Thus, it was best to leave the hospital as soon as possible. Once he was awake and in love with her, she would then let him go home to replace his family.

That way, she would not be afraid that he would just disappear from her world.

Even if he has a wife, as long as he falls for me, I'm sure he'll leave his wife for me.

The more Lucy mulled over it, the more she was sure that she was going to get Shane discharged from the hospital.

Hence, once the nurse was gone, she immediately went to the doctor to query about his discharge.

Meanwhile, outside the country, Natalie told her reason for her discontinuation to the organizers, who then agreed to hide the true reason from the public; they agreed to tell the public that she was quitting because of her premature labor.

At the same time, Lina had also successfully departed from the competition.

Thus, the two ended up in third place in the international competition while Jayson and another costume designer, as well as their partners, began competing for the first.

The next morning at nine, they announced Natalie and Lina's departure from the competition on the official website. Almost immediately, everyone who was paying attention to the competition found out that the two of them had quit.

They expressed their understanding once they read that Natalie had quit because of her baby, but they felt bad as well. After all, they knew how skilled Natalie and Lina were. The competition would have been an even more exciting one if they were still in it.

They never thought that things would have ended so abruptly.

Even the Design Association back home called Natalie to express their concerns.

Although the branch president felt upset that Natalie was quitting the competition, he, like the others, could understand why. He even reassured her that third place was good enough.

After all, they rarely entered the finals of international competitions, let alone emerging as one of the top three.

Not only had Natalie entered the finals, but she had even gotten third place. The only reason for her to quit was that she had to recover. It was already an impressive feat, and they had no right to be angry at her for leaving so suddenly.

"Nat, when are you going home?" Lina asked when she brought the document for their quittance from the competition for Natalie to sign.

As she signed her name on the document, Natalie said, "My flight is tonight."
