Crossroads

Chapter 81

Stephanie wondered, ‘Where is Dominick?”

She opened the door, walked into the bedroom, and put down the bowl of hot oatmeal. When she turned around to look, she found that there was no one on the bed,

A half bottle of IV drip was hanging on the iron shelf beside the bed, and the potion inside was dripping down from the needle….

“Dominick asked me to go downstairs and bring him oatmeal… He must have taken the opportunity to slip away.”

Stephanie was a little annoyed. She immediately turned around to walk towards the study.

“Are you so eager to know what’s hidden in my study?”

However, when Stephanie held the doorknob of the study, a cold male voice came from behind her. She could hear the suppressing anger in

his tone.

She turned around and looked at Dominick with a puzzled look on her face.

The next second, she suddenly came to her senses, stepped forward, and said angrily, “Yes! I want to sneak into the study tonight while you are sick to see what kind of evil you are hiding.”

“You..” Dominick was stunned.

There were relatively few servants at East Villa, and no others were on the corridor of the second floor. The two of them stared at each other.

Without saying anymore, Dominick suddenly turned around and went back to his bedroom.

Stephanie stood there. Watching him go away, she felt angrier and a little aggrieved.

‘I came to ask you to go back to bedroom and rest.

Stephanie didn’t say this to Dominick because when he saw her standing outside his study, his first reaction was to suspect her.

She always thought she and he were not in the same world,

Except for the difference in status, he was too vigilant and suspicious. However, she preferred to keep things simple.

The maid came in and cleared the iron rack and infusion apparatus beside the bed. Dominick sat in the small living room of the bedroom, looking at the bowl of oatmeal on the table.

Stephanie went straight into the bathroom, washed up quickly, then crawled into bed and fell asleep, completely ignoring Dominick.

Dominick had a high fever, but she was the busiest one. He even withdrew the

e needle before finishing the IV drip.

She was in a very irritable mood. She hugged the quilt and huddled beside the bed. After all, she was sleepy and fell asleep quickly.

It was quiet at 11 p.m., which was not too late. Dominick walked to the door and wanted to go back to the study. However, he stopped and looked back at Stephanie on the bed

He frowned slightly. His high fever had gone, but these medicines made him a little dizzy.

After thinking for a while, Dominic simply turned off the lights in the bedroom, only leaving a bedside lamp on. He went to bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down.
