Chapter 228

“Steven?” I called out Steven’s name softly. I was worried that I was mistaken.

Steven’s body visibly stiffened at that moment. His back was facing me. I couldn’t see the

expression on his face, but his silhouette from the back looked dark and intimidating.

After saying that, the man pushed the nurse aside and ran away.
