Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 136

It seemed like he was incredibly tired last night; now he’s fast asleep, Sylvia gazed at him for a moment.

Seeing the faint palm print and slight swelling on his left cheek, the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth untouched, he looked just as miserable as she did, if not worse.

Although she had exhausted herself last night and couldn’t remember what happened afterwards, hated on the current situation, Edgar probably didn’t do anything to her.

She pursed her lips and suddenly tasted a hint of sweetness in her mouth. Was it the taste of glucose?

He was the one who put the drug in her coffee, along with the medicine. Now he’s pretending to be a good person.

Heh.

A bone–chilling coldness filled Sylvia’s eyes. Putting on a self–directed and self–performed act for her? Just

wait!

She stepped out of the bathtub, quietly left the bathroom without waking him up.

Edgar was awakened by the intense pain on his back.

He had been leaning against the edge of the bathtub in such a posture that his arm was almost dislocated from sleeping.

Last night, he was busy helping Sylvia reduce her fever and forgot to apply medicine to himself. He accidentally bumped into the sharp corner of the bed, and his back was probably more swollen now.

He sighed, propped himself up, and sat up, only to find that the person in the bathtub was gone!

How did she wake up? He had no idea at all. It seemed that the effectiveness of this 023 special drug indeed reduced his sensitivity quite a bit.

He got up, walked to the sink, and cleaned the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth in front of the mirror. Then he went downstairs to find Sylvia.

The atmosphere in the living room was extremely heavy.

Sylvia sat on the sofa with her hands folded in front of her chest, her expression cold and fierce.
