Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 282 Where Are You?!

After answering the hotel’s phone call, Mu Zhi returned to the psychologist’s office distracted. She did not stay longer and ended her session hastily. Then, she rushed out of the hospital and hailed a cab to go back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, the first thing she did was to ask the receptionist what had happened. However, even the receptionist did not understand what had happened. She told Mu Zhi that a team of policeman had rushed up to her room, but nothing else happened. They had just stayed there for a while and left.

As she did not know anything else, she suggested Mu Zhi to check her room herself.

That made Mu Zhi even more anxious. So, she ran up the stairs quickly to her room. When she pushed open the door, she saw that Eric was seated dazedly on the sofa.

When he saw that Mu Zhi was back, he put up a happy face.

But Mu Zhi could see with a glance that Eric’s computer was still running.

“What’s wrong?”

Eric shook his head but did not speak.

Mu Zhi went to his side and took a good look at him. Eric was usually quiet, but that was just him being cool. However, his current silence was different. It was the silence of a child in severe doubts.

“Eric, what’s wrong? Please tell me.”

Eric looked up earnestly with his large innocent eyes and asked, “Mom, do you think that dad was rarely around and did not discipline me?”

Mu Zhi considered it for a moment before looking at Eric and said, “What happened? Why are you asking this question suddenly? Your father loves you, and he knows that you are very clever.”

“But…”

Eric stopped himself and did not continue. He went silent again.

Mu Zhi had never seen Eric behaving like this.

Eric was brilliant. Even when he was very young, Mu Zhi never had to explain much to him or teach him many things. He could figure things out by himself and form his own opinions.

However today, Mu Zhi felt that Eric was not his usual self.

She furrowed her brow and asked, “Did the people who came here bully you?’

Eric shook his head.
