One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 497 Not a Coincidence

It was already the dead of night when they reached Melrose City. Elijah called Courtney and sent Angie to the Melrose Hospital. Lying on the bed, Angie covered half her face with the blanket, leaving only her eyes exposed so she could observe Courtney.

Although Courtney was gently redressing Elijah’s wound, she spoke in a stern tone. “You don’t have to look at me like that. I shouldn’t have let you come to Citron Apparel if I had known what your thoughts were.”

After hearing Elijah’s summary of what happened, Courtney had cold sweat running down her back, as she couldn’t imagine how guilty she would feel if that knife had fully stabbed Angie.

“I’m sorry.”

Since Angie had admitted her mistakes, Courtney did not reprimand her further because Elijah was right in that she herself had a similar personality too. Back then, she had done the same things as Angie at Sunhill, so she wasn’t in a position to say how out of line she acted.

As Courtney’s bandaging techniques were better, Elijah could at least move his fingers now. Nodding satisfyingly, he then noticed Courtney’s wrist when she reached out to pick up the scissors.

Showing a rare smile, Elijah asked, “When did such children’s play interest you?”

Suddenly understanding his words, Courtney lowered her head and looked at the sticker. Not replying, she diverted the conversation while tidying her things.

“Did you say that Walter’s dead?”

Angie remembered that before she left Silvercreek District Hospital, she saw Piper undoing her dreadlocks on the bathroom floor. Feeling somewhat stuffy inside, she nodded.

“Is this a coincidence?”

“I don’t know.” Shaking her head, Angie then retracted her gaze while Elijah said bluntly, “It isn’t”
