Chapter 69 

Knowing that Christopher was a germaphobe, Margaret cleaned up the blood on the bed and waited for it to dry before laying down to rest. 

The next day when she woke up and opened her eyes, she caught sight of Christopher sitting on a chair not far away while smoking a cigarette. The room was shrouded in smoke, and the ashtray was half full. 

She said subconsciously, “You‘re sick. You were running a fever last night, and your voice sounded a little hoarse. You‘d better stop smoking.” 

It seemed that every winter when he was with her, they would always fall sick together. Therefore, she was not surprised at all. However, his cold was worse than before this time, probably because he was too exhausted from work and traveling. 

Christopher ignored her. Under the reflection of light, his expression could not be seen clearly from the side of his face. There was a hint of coldness shown from the corners of his lips.
