Chapter 216 Nothing Can Be Hidden
Eddie said. “There was something like that in the first aid kit?”
“Yeah, there was, Stella insisted.
She tried her best to sound serious–so serious that even she almost believed it herself.
Eddie said, “Open the door. Let me see him. And don’t mess around.”
Stella fell silent.
Already messed around….
“Wait a second. I’m coming
She hung up the phone and looked at herself in the mirror again, feeling like she was about to lose her mind.
Slapping her cheeks, she muttered, “Oh my god, what am I gonna do? What am I supposed to do?”
How did it even come to this?
No–this…
Does this count as taking advantage of him? After all, he wasn’t even conscious…
At this point, Stella’s mind was completely blank
She quietly opened the bathroom door and poked her head out to peek at the bed.
Abraham was still in the same position, clearly exhausted.
Well, yeah, after two hours…
Her legs still felt like they were falling apart–aching, sore.
Honestly, I’m the one who needs a doctor now.
Even though she knew Abraham probably wouldn’t wake up easily, Stella stil tiptoed around, quickly getting dressed.
She even gently tidied Abraham up a little.
Finally, she grabbed the gray scarf, hid it in the bathroom, and straightened up the room as much as she could.
When she opened the door, she found Eddie standing there, rubbing his hands to keep warm, clearly having waited a while.
He immediately noticed Stella bundled up in a thick bathrobe with a fuzzy scarf around her neck.
Eddie’s mouth twitched. “What’s with this outfit?”
Who sleeps dressed like that?
“I get cold, okay?” Stella said stiffly.
Eddie was speechless.
Getting cold would make sense if you hadn’t even g
even gotten out of bed yet.
Though he found it strange, Eddie didn’t press her. “Where’s your brother!”
No way not to ask now.
Stella was starting to feel guilty under his gaze.
“It’s just, you know, he came in, passed out drunk, and I couldn’t move him, she said, trying to sound casual.
Even she didn’t fully believe it, but she forced herself to stick to the story.
Eddie said nothing, just stared at her silently.
His look made Stella’s heart pound with nerves.
Suddenly, Eddie took a step forward and reached for the scarf around her neck.
Stella gasped and immediately grabbed the scarf tightly. “What are you doing?”
No way does he really suspect something? If Eddie’s suspicions, what happens when Abraham wakes up?
Thinking of that, Stella’s breathing grew even more unsteady. She was terrified.
Eddie said. “You know what kind of drug it was, right? You get how serious it was?”
Does she really think she can just bluff her way through!
“I know! Didn’t I tell you? I found medicine and gave it to him,” Stella said quickly, trying to sound confident even though her
heart was racing
ur neck
But Eddie wasn’t giving up. Let me see your
You-
“Come on, let me sec, he insisted.
Stella was practically shaking.
In this how people die of lieart attacks! Because I swear I’m about to heel ver
She slapped Eddie’s hand away.
“What are you looking at? You trying to harass me? I’ll tell my brother!” she shapped.
Eddie snorted. “Hey, you little brat, let me tell you-
“What are you even talking about? Are you going to check on him or not? I wanna go back to sleep.
She was truly exhausted.
Though honestly, after all this drama, her sleepiness had been scared away completely.
Eddie gave her one list look, then glanced up toward the stairs. Finally, he just sighed and headed upstairs.
Seeing him finally give up, Stella let out a huge breath of relief
But thinking about the look he gave her earlier, she felt like her heart was sinking fast.
It’s over. It’s really over
Following close behind Eddie up the stairs, they entered the room–only to find Abraham awake.
He was sitting on the bed, smoking a cigarette,
2/3
The blanket had slipped down to his waist, and his robe was slightly open, revealing a faint scratch across his
chest.
Eddie froze.
His breathing instantly tightened.
And Stella wasn’t doing any better.
Wait that mark – where did it come from? I don’t remember scratching his chest… How did that happen?
In the instant their eyes met, Stella felt her heart tremble uncontrollably.
Eddie swallowed hard and glanced at Stella again.
Stella felt like she was about to lose her mind under that look.
