Chapter 614 That Person Looked a Bit Like Theodore

The car rolled to a stop outside Golden Apartment. Dawn was just breaking in Kedora, painting the sky a fiery red and lighting up the whole place.

Phoebe cracked her eyes open and mumbled to Edward, "Thanks for the ride. I'm heading up."

Just as she was about to step out, Edward grabbed her wrist, his eyes glued to her face. "Phoebe, can I see you again?"

Edward's eyes were full of hurt. "Don't shut me out. I just wanna be there for you, that's all. No pressure."

Phoebe sighed, "I'm beat. I'm going up."

Edward bit his lip. After a beat, he let go of her wrist and said softly, "Go rest. Don't stress. It'll all blow over."

"Okay." Phoebe pushed the door open, got out, and walked into the apartment complex without looking back. Once she was out of Edward's sight, she leaned against a tree and started to retch. Her hand clenched into a fist, the room card digging into her skin, blood dripping from the edge.

Tears welled up in Phoebe's eyes.

She slowly opened her palm and stared at the blood-stained room card. It read 1888. How did she mistake it for 8888?

"Phoebe," Evelyn's voice came from behind. Phoebe's body stiffened. She quickly clenched her hand, hiding the room card, and turned to face Evelyn.

Evelyn was carrying breakfast and hurried over. "Why are you just getting back? Where were you last night? I couldn't reach you."

As she got closer, Evelyn caught a whiff of alcohol on Phoebe. She waved her hand in front of her nose, looking at Phoebe with disdain. "Why were you drinking? Didn't you say you had a business dinner?" Phoebe's throat was dry, and she struggled to speak. "Business dinners always mean drinking. You know that."
