One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 378

Chapter 378 She Cannot Leave Me

After spending a whole night under the cold rain, the last of Courtney’s strength left her body. She was struggling to see even the first floor’s window, and everything suddenly turned into a blur.

Before Courtney fainted, she thought she saw the Duncan Family’s servant, May, running toward her with an umbrella in her hand.

She didn’t know what the future held as she fell unconscious. It was as if she was trapped in an eternal dream.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the big red paper decoration on the window that was extremely dazzling.

From the door came May’s voice, then she proceeded to quickly walk inside the room. “Are you still feeling unwell anywhere? The doctor said you had a fever and should rest more.”

 

As Courtney sat up, she hugged the blanket close to her and looked around blankly.

“Why am I here?”

“Do you not remember, Miss Hunter?” May looked at her. “Yesterday, you stood outside the door throughout the night, but you couldn’t withstand the pouring rain and fainted. It was Young Master Alexander who carried you inside.”

“He did?” Struck with surprise, Courtney asked, “He carried me inside?”

Didn’t Alexander hate me so much he’d rather not see me? Didn’t he leave me there to die? Why did he do that, then?
