Crossroads

Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Holding her blanket, Stephanie turned over comfortably in bed and suddenly opened her eyes..

It was already 9 a.m., and she nervously got out of bed…

She felt a bit strange. Normally, she would be woken up at 5 a.m. by Sandra to have breakfast with George. She wondered why nobody had ruined her dreams today.

Sitting on the bed, she glanced around the bedroom and looked to her side..

Dominick didn’t come back last night.

Thinking of Dominick, Stephanie felt a bit upset.

Stephanie quickly y got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. As she grabbed a towel to wipe her face, she suddenly noticed that the injury on her right hand had improved significantly.

Frowning, she carefully examined and sniffed her fingers, detecting a faint medicinal scent.

Stephanie wondered who had applied medicine to her.

re you awake?” Sandra pushed the door open, carrying a bowl of oatmeal.

“Mrs. Wellington, are you

“Did you call the doctor last night?” Stephanie popped her head out of the bathroom and asked Sandra.

Sandra quickly placed the oatmeal on the table, looking worried. “No, Mr. Wellington asked us not to wake you up this morning. Mrs. Wellington, are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine,” Stephanie said, her face darkening.

After finishing the oatmeal, Stephanie curled up on the bed in the bedroom, her thoughts in turmoil.

Sitting cross–legged on the bed, she stared at her injured right hand, wondering if he had treated her with medicine.

She pondered if Dominick came back this morning…

She wondered if Dominick had been with Jessica last night. She suddenly wanted to know.

Feeling uneasy, Stephanie turned around and immediately grabbed her phone, searching for Jessica’s name, and a bunch of related news

popped up.

Scrolling through the messages, she gradually felt gloomy.

Her gaze fell on a photo on the phone screen, taken in the underground parking lot of Flaming Bar. It only caught Jessica’s back instead of her face, but the stern profile of that man beside her…

Stephanie immediately recognized him as Dominick

“They’re so impatient, doing this in public…” She bit her lip, feeling uncomfortable.

She glared at the photo, feeling annoyed. “Are you blind? What’s good about Jessica? She’s had plastic surgery!”

But Dominick just happened to like her,

Vincent had even said that Dominick had only had one girlfriend, and that was his beloved Jessica.

“I won’t mention the plastic surgery thing again, lest I get scolded by him again.” Stephanie felt irritated and threw her phone aside.

The door suddenly opened as she tossed her phone onto the bedside table.

Stephanie instinctively looked up, and he was looking at her by the door.
